The Glass Castle post 5
Jeannette’s dad loses his job at the Gypsum mine after getting into an argument with the foreman. This caused Jeannette and her family to loose all of their money. Jeannette then started to go to school and she said it wasn’t too bad. But kids gave her weird looks all the time. One day after Jeannette was done with school four Mexican girls followed her home and jumped her in an ally way. Jeannette was beaten up pretty bad and when Jeannette got home her dad was proud of her getting into I fight. I was shocked when I read that Jeannette’s dad encouraged her to fight, and while she was only in the first grade! The next day the same Mexican girls were in the ally way but this time Jeannette’s brother Brian was with her. But nothing changed and Brian was jumped also but the odd thing was that Jeannette picked up a pretty big rock and smashed it on one of the girls head. For me I could never do that and it showed that Jeannette doesn’t use her head that well because that could have killed the girl. I think that she takes this kind of stuff after her parents and that her parents don’t usually tell their kids what is right and what is wrong.

This book sounds pretty intense and violent! I couldn't image smashing a rock on another persons head either but I do kind of understand it was in self defense.
