The originals were basically just an inflatable giant pillow and roof. Modern bounce houses typically have walls with mesh windows, and they often have slides or other accessories attached. Frances, John's wife, launched a company in 1968 to rent the bounce houses for fairs, birthday parties, picnics and other events. By 1976, the Scurlocks had built a custom production facility, replacing the leased warehouse that they had been using to manufacture the bounce houses.

However, the amusement parks proved financially unsustainable, so the company chose to focus on rentals.

The City Council of Boomtown, a fictitious city, wants to expand their current borders and is considering building new houses and apartments on one of three locations: Green Hill, Delta Wetlands, or Seaside Cliff.

Through the entire essay the author, Russ Rymer inputs his own judgement into the essay expressing how they were making this town called Celebration out to be the best place on earth to live. He stated how Joel and Marlene spelled out the conceptual “cornerstones” of Celebration for him (Rymer 297).

They made it sound out to be the ideal community where children can go play without any worries and “where playtime doesn’t end till mama called you in” (Rymer 298).

This pattern book dictates what every house needs to look like on the outside. As Rymer put it this book militates against a multitude of sins- moral and venial- to which modern builder are prone. All houses had to be built according to this book to be a part of the Celebration

Rex Walls While growing up in life, children need their parents to teach them and lead them on the path to a successful future. In the Glass Castle Rex Walls, Jeannette’s father, neglects to take care of his duties as a father figure in Jeannette’s life.

Even though he, in many instances, failed to protect his children, refused to take responsibility for them, and even stole from them, Jeannette still loved him until his death for two reasons: one, for his ability to make her feel special, and two, because he is a never-ending source of inspiration.
Have you ever felt stuck? Wherever you are, it’s the absolute last place you want to be. In the book Into the Wild, Chris McCandless feels stuck just like the average everyday person may feel. Chris finds his escape plan to the situation and feels he will free himself by going off to the wild.

It won the 2005 Elle Readers’ Prize and the 2006 American Library Association Alex Award.
