The Glass Castle
Ilian Boyzo
Mental Illness
In the article Mental Health Conditions it states "A person's thinking, feeling or mood may affect and disrupt his ability to relate to others and function in daily life." This shows how the father from "The Glass Castle", relates to the quote. It shows that the father in the book doesn't communicate with the familly. He is never home and doesn't do a good jod of taking care of the them, all he does is spend time being at at bar. "He turned down the street to junior's bar. we all wathched him go. "You're ashemed of us?" Lori called after him. Dad just kept walking.
REBELLION
The Glass Castle does not relat to the article, instead what they do is run away from doing what is right. This states how the Walls family does not do what they are supposed to do. Civil disobedience is a public, non-violent and conscientious breach of law undertaken with the aim of bringing about a change in laws or government policies. People who engage in civil disobedience are willing to accept the legal consequences of their actions, as this shows their fidelity to the rule of law.
ALCOHOLISM
Living with an alcoholic is a family affair. Because it subjects all
members of a household to constant stress and fears of various
kinds, it has often been referred to as a “family illness.” This quote relates to Rex and his life with his family, because of him the family isn't living a normal life. Rex and Rose Mary are constantly fighting and the family cant afford for food.
HOMELESSNESS
The article states that "The CoC Program consolidates the following Homeless Assistance programs: the Shelter Plus Care Program, the Supportive Housing Program, and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program." Federal Government could have helped jeannette's family if it had been enacted when she was growing up homeless. "
PARENTING
Jeannette's parents should of loosen their parental rights, because during the book they never really took good care for their children. A parent can also lose his or her parental rights after being convicted of certain felonies. If a parent commits a crime of violence against his or her child or another family member, the court has the option to remove his or her parental rights and terminate the child-parent relationship.
EDUCATION
A child's absence from school is presumed to be due to the parent's, guardian's, or custodian's failure to comply with compulsory instruction laws if the child is under 12 years old and the school has made appropriate efforts to resolve the child's attendance problems. The Glass Castle Rose Mary and Rex Walls educated their children and had no need to attend school because they were really smart and had no need to join.
