Parenting. This word strikes fear in a number of young parents because it’s a whole new level of responsibility; many worry that they will not be good parents and will not be able to raise their child properly. Rex and Rose Mary Walls, from Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle, are extremely strange people who live their life differently and it would seem like raising children would be a failure for them, but in the end, their kids grow up to be very decent adults. Both of Rex and Rose Mary are good parents because they demonstrate that they care about their kids very much, they raised them to be smart and able to see things for more than they are. The first thing that makes a good parent is not how you discipline your child or what classes they take, but it is to show that you care about them.
The setting in this story is at the diner, and then it moves along to the salesman’s car. At the diner the salesman bought the boy some food. The salesman then offers to give the boy a lift, because he feels sorry for the boy being all by himself. When the boy brought out the gun, the salesman wasn’t expecting that, he was really shocked and confused. I really liked how the author wrote out the character of the young boy.
This chapter takes place directly after the fight to sell the chocolates. Jerry Renault finally builds enough courage to go to school the day right after the fight, but when he gets to school everyone is looking at him and talking about the fight and how they are all in trouble for the fight only for some teacher told the Dean of Students what had been going on. As the day goes on all of the nerdy kids are looking up to jerry and being thankful to him. But on the other hand all of the vigils and the more popular guys are even madder at Jerry and he just doesn’t understand why or what he may have done. Jerry’s day has been going pretty good other than being beat up the day before.
He carried an old-fashioned plastic lunch box with a superhero on it. I was so busy trying to figure out which superhero it was, I didn't Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com) notice where the boy was headed until he leaped off the curb, landing between us and the next car.

Nick does not like New York, which is apparent when he says, “So when the blue smoke of brittle leaves was in the air and the wind blew the laundry stiff on the line I decided to come back home” (176). Gatsby has everything except what he most desires, Daisy. He buys many things just to impress her and prove to her that he really is wealthy. He has a big car, a mansion, and lots of clothes. Nick comments on Gatsby’s car, "...and there in its monstrous length with triumphant hatboxes and supper-boxes and tool-boxes...Sitting down behind many layers of glass in a sort of leather conservatory we started towards town" (68).
Rich man. Kids allowance ignorance. ?? (No clue at the moment)?? Dillion is now hanging onto the side of my passenger door of my car listening to my dub-step.
For example, if one expects someone to become successful then they will be successful. The author’s family’s expectation of him was to go to a military school and come out a better person. He did not agree with them at first because he did not want to be away from home, much less, be in a military school. His mom insisted that he attend while she spent most of her and the families’ money to enroll him. After a while, he got used to being away from home and accepted the changes, becoming successful and living up to their expectations.

Gatto’s long, and successful, career within the American education system serves as more than enough evidence to confirm the credibility and accuracy of his opinions. His career is another indicator of his love for educating young people. Gatto doesn’t believe in forcing students to learn on a strict schedule (i.e: six classes a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for 12 years). He bonds boredom, a common condition possessed by not only students but teachers as well, to schools in the U.S school system. Many of his students said they weren’t interested in what was being taught because it was stupid and they already knew the material.
It’s time to get started.” (Dobson, 110) The letting go process is dreaded by most parents because it is a time where you have to stop being the "too- protective" parent and give your boy the freedom he deserves as an individual. This process can be seen as a good thing also because one is able to see the fruit of their labor and watch as their child grows and flourishes down the right path because of the parents teaching and lifelong lessons that they have passed down. Either way one thinks about it, the process must still be done. Boys will never stay little boys forever and once they start to believe that they are growing up they will take that mindset and run with it. Dobson stresses to not be afraid of that point in a boy's life when you must let them go but be proud and never stop caring or try to be close to your
