The Glass Castle

The children of "The Glass Castle", Lori, Brian, and Jeannette, each have their own personalities. Lori starts off as the quiet introvert. She reads books and keeps to herself and doesn't like to go on adventures with the others. Further in the book, it is revealed that Lori had sight problems and never could really see as well as the other kids. This caused her to withdraw from the others. Brian was also a bit quiet, although he likes to explore. He would enjoy going around with Jeannette and discover new things. Jeannette was an extravert. She would always explore to find new things to do. These kids all had a hard life living with their parents. They had to stick together to get through these hardships. Once, as a child, Jeannette would get beat up everyday at school. One day, Brian came out to help her. Together, they stood up to the school bullies. Sticking together is one of their only ways to survive. They realize that only together can they survive through life with their parents. Their parents are free-roaming, always looking for something else. Because of this, the kids have to move alot, but when they finally get stuck in the town of Welch, they feel miserable. Because of this, they slowly leave to Ney York as they are in high school. By going to New York together, they hope to leave their pasts back in Welch. New York works out for them. They stick together, make life bearable, and succeed their pursuits. The memory of 3 small children coming from such a colorful background is amazing.
