for you? Which were the most shocking, the most inspiring, the funniest?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

2. Discuss the metaphor of a glass castle and what it signifies to Jeannette and her father. Why is it important that, just before leaving for New York, Jeannette tells her father that she doesn't believe he'll ever build it? (p. 238).</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

3. The first story Walls tells of her childhood is that of her burning herself severely at age three, and her father dramatically takes her from the hospital: "You're safe now" (p. 14). Why do you think she opens with that story, and how does it set the stage
for the rest of the memoir?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

4. Rex Walls often asked his children, "Have I ever let you down?" Why was this question (and the required "No, Dad" response) so important for him -- and for his kids? On what occasions did he actually come through for them?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

5. Jeannette's mother insists that, no matter what, "life with your father was never boring" (p. 288). What kind of man was Rex Walls? What were his strengths and weaknesses, his flaws and contradictions?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

6. Discuss Rose Mary Walls. What did you think about her description of herself as an "excitement addict"? (p. 93).</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

8 Describe Jeannette's relationship to her siblings and discuss the role they played in one another's lives.</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

9. In college, Jeannette is singled out by a professor for not understanding the plight of homeless people; instead of defending herself, she keeps quiet. Why do you think she does this?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

10. The two major pieces of the memoir -- one half set in the desert and one half in West Virginia -- feel distinct. What effect did such a big move have on the family -- and on your reading of the story? How would you describe the shift in the book's tone?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

11. Were you surprised to learn that, as adults, Jeannette and her siblings remained close to their parents? Why do you think this is?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

12. What character traits -- both good and bad -- do you think that Jeannette inherited from her parents? And how do you think those traits shaped Jeannette's life?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

13. For many reviewers and readers, the most extraordinary thing about The Glass Castle is that, despite everything, Jeannette Walls refuses to condemn her parents. Were you able to be equally nonjudgmental?</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333"> </span><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><br>

Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle tells the story of a wildly original (and wildly dysfunctional) family with humor and compassion. Were their other comparable memoirs that came to mind? What distinguishes this book?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
