  • The Glass Castle Persuasive Essay

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the scenes that I found to be the most shocking would it be when Jeannette's mom and dad were arguing about going to live with Rose Mary’s mother and they ended up throwing things out the window, but what surprised me the most is when Rose Mary begin dangling from the window screaming for help. All the kids, and myself, weren't sure whether Rose Mary had jumped or their father had pushed her out the window. Think the most inspiring part of the story from me was when most of the kids were able to actually built their lives up from where they began. It was so amazing to be able to see that they came from a place so low and were able to build their lives up from where they began. Finally, I think the funniest part of the story for me would be the Battle of Little Hobart Street because
