The Glass Castle: A Memoir | Jeannette Walls

Pickpick

One of the most prevalent literary devices used in The Glass Castle is euphemism. Euphemism is so important in the book because of how it shows us how Jeannette views her past in a more joking and euphemistic way. It adds to the book by allowing the reader to view the events in the book in a different way rather than from a sadder point of view. I personally like the way the book in written in a euphemistic tone because it made it more 1/2

adamkrisk enjoyable to read. One example I chose to demonstrate the euphemistic tone is when Rex tell Jeannette they need to do the “skedaddle” when really they need to run away because people are after him. This creates a more fun take on events that are not as fun. 14mo

The Glass Castle is a great book that I would recommend to people who love first person books that are chaotic and make you feel right in the moment. The book is very descriptive and holds many themes and symbols throughout the whole book. The Glass Castle brings you through the life of Jeannette Walls and her dis functional family as they follow their father in search of riches. This book has many ups and downs as the Walls try to find their

If you like creepy thrillers this book is great for you. The book is about a girl who wants to break up with her boyfriend, Jake. This book takes a twist, however, because now she has a stalker that can‘t stop calling her, but she doesn‘t want to tell anyone. This book is full of eerieness and suspense and is great for people looking for an adrenaline rush.

MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Adam! I was just missing your POV and how it is established. 4/6 3y

The Power of Passion was a great book about the real adventures of Alan Hobson and Jamie Clarke. The book is about the duo wanting to climb Mount Everest. The book has an underlying message of “every day Everests” which gave me a refreshing impression on life. Anyone who is passionate about anything will definitely enjoy this book because you can sense the amount of passion Alan and Jamie possess in this book.

MissYaremcio Nicely done Adam! I would have liked a little bit more on the establishment of the theme but otherwise well done! 5.5/6 3y
