The Glass Castle #2

The first passage in the book is from the author's adult life. She describes how both of her parents are now homeless, while she is married to a wealthy man in Manhattan. Unfortunately, her parents roam the streets of Manhattan with grime covered clothes and faces. She passes them frequently and promptly attempts to hide out of embarassment of being seen with them. This exerpt from her adult life, with the rest of the book being written about her childhood, gives the reader a glimpse into what the future will hold for the book's characters. Although not even halfway through the book, that first chapter allows the reader to anticiapte what the ending might hold. I anticiapte that Walls will end the book with a similaer situation to how it started. Except now, she will be able to confront both her parents and talk with them freely. Her parents have shaped the person that Walls is today, so I predict that she will agknowlege that fact and come to peace with her parents' homeless existance.
