Week 11 Journal

I think that the book The Glass Castle was a very good book, and an important book as well. I really feel that people could learn something from reading this book. Life is what you make it! I think that is a pretty great message, and to me this book really sends a message like that. Jeannette could have had a miserable life, and held a grudge against her parents forever. Who does that hurt though? Not her parents, it would hurt her. Luckily she took the lessons that she learned and the experiences; good or bad, and made something of herself! I think that is a pretty neat thing. Not everyone is able to overcome such a life and really turn it around.
