Honors Glass Castle guiding questions pg. 126-end
-Moving to Welch serves as somewhat of a "halfway point" in JW's childhood/upbringing. What things start to happen in this timeframe that might signal a tipping point of how she views her family and her road to success?
-Although not directly stated, what is implied to have happened to Rex during his childhood in West Virginia? How might that have impacted JW's perception in writing about/viewing him the way she did in writing TGC?
-Why does the move to Welch seems so much different than the Walls family's previous moves beyond just the distance and general area of the country? What has changed about the family when they move to Welch, and what happens there, especially specific to the kids' views on the world and the family
-What does NYC come to represent, especially to JW and Lori? Even if you know nothing about NYC, why/how would a move to a physical place have such a positive symbolic value when so far in their lives, moving has represented escaping chaos and responsibility?
-Even post NYC, what lessons does JW realize that she learned from her parents about what she needed in life, and how does she reconcile the chaos and trauma of her upbringing?
