Mid-Book Opinon

Thus far, I have really enjoyed The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.  I am about to read Part 4 now, and I feel that I have seen everything in a different perspective.  Throughout my life, I have never been in poverty or have moved around that much. This book has increased my appreciation for the life I have, and it makes me think of those who do in fact have a life similar to the Walls family.  This book also makes me want to take action for those who live in poverty and those who are homeless by providing food or clothes as the Walls family didn't always have these necessities.  One thing I admire about the Walls family is their value of education.  Throughout the book, even when the family didn't have any money or supplies, the kids would still be sent to school.  When they came back from school, they would read for several hours placing them ahead of others in their classes.  It also amazes me on how this is a nonfiction story, and I respect Jeanette Walls for coming out and speaking about her childhood.
