The Glass Castle

Reading The Glass Castle this semester was an eye opener for me. I also knew that there was these type of problems in our world, but to get a firsthand look from the perspective of someone who lived it makes it that much more real. Do I think that it was a good book, yes. I think this should be a must read in all English class rooms. Not only because I find it a good book but it brings forth some important problems in our world today. This book would help young people see first-hand through their reading what someone in certain situations goes through. I think it would also help someone who is in the same kind of situation deal with what is happening to them and help them learn there are options out there. I think that there are so many kids in the world who are dealing with hard times and have no clue of the help or resources out there; they think they are the only ones dealing with it. This book opens up a new world of understanding, not only for the ones living with the abuse, but also to give others an idea of what to look for to help and understand.
