The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
In my book Jeannette, the main character practically raises herself. Her parents don't really want to take on the responsibilty of raising their 4 children. After living in so many places, she has seen many kinds of situations that make her strong. She is determined to make something of herself, she doesn't want to end up in the same situation as her parents, absolutley brilliant but doing nothing with their talent. She doesn't want to stay in the same place for the rest of her life, where she can't do what she truly wants.
The author is saying that not everybody has the same youth. Some people have it much worse than others, like the author, who lived a life of poverty but somehow made it through everyday. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun. She took the better of the situation and found her own ways to have a good time even with the little she had. She always tried to make things better than what they were and that made her who she is today.
