Currently I am reading the book Glass Castle by Jennete Walls and I really love it. I am not positive what the message is yet because I am only about half way through the book. At times the book can be sort of tricky and misleading but that just cause you to be even more interested every time you read. The book is a bout a family who is homeless, they have 4 kids and are constantly are being chased down by the government. About every month they pack their things, get in their van and pack up for a new location where they find a new house.

     The dad of this family is a complex inventor, I would say he is the leader of his family and kind of orders them around on his demands. He has a very strong bond with his second daughter Jennete. They are always constantly building things together. The father has only one problem that he is a drug addict which sometimes causes a lot of havoc in the family. The children have learned a valuable lesson that you should be happy with what you have, a lesson everybody needs to learn. These kids know the circumstances that they are in so they have been taught to be happy with what they have. I think this is also why all the kids have learned to be so inventive because if you cant have something then why not invent it.

     A lot of people in the world are very greedy, a problem that is trying to be pointed out in this story. Because this family lives a very hard life and so do many other people in the real world. So when we cant get a toy or a shoe think about all the other people that would die for just maybe a sip of water. Some people cant see the real world and think that they have it easy going in their own home thriving off of their parents and this book is trying to say that you should buckle up for when you grow up because its not going to be easy.
