Evaluation micro theme I was hesitant to read the book The Glass Castle when I skimmed the back cover as I am not a big fan of sad stories, but this one was different. I stayed up late that night fighting sleep and nearly finished the whole book. It is typical to read a book about a child having a bad childhood; these books tend to hold to readers interest because their lives often seem very different from our own. I recently read a memoir written by Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle. The storyline of the book was similar to those other books about kids with a rough upbringing but somehow it stands out above the rest in its genre.
Genetics can sometimes run in families is one cause to the start of mental illnesses. Infections, brain defects or injury, prenatal damage, substance abuse, and other factors are the other five factors to mental illnesses. Yates battled depression for years; the cause of her actions for drowning her children were caused by postpartum psychosis triggered by the improper use of her meds, not listening to what her doctor had to say after her treatment, and lack of knowing any coping techniques.

Every night I go to bed around 2345. I try to go to bed earlier but I always just lie in bed not able to sleep. Sometimes it’s because of the stress from the day before other times its from my experiences when I was deployed to Iraq. I was deployed for 12 months and while I was there I did some things that I’m not proud of but they needed to be done to complete the mission and ensure everyone came back safely. Since coming back from Iraq I haven’t been able to sleep well.

Capstone CheckPoint Angela White LIT 210 December 13, 2012 Penny Crittenden Capstone CheckPoint As a teenager I read many different genres of literature such as romance, sci-fi, fiction, and drama. As a young adult, I read much the same but also added mystery and horror. I cannot say that I have an all-time favorite story or author, it all depends on my state-of-mind at the time I read. I did not have much interest in poetry until I learned about it in this class. I have now added “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, “Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson, “1 Corinthians 13” by Paul and “Little Bessie Would Assist Providence” by Mark Twain.

Jekyll’s isolation continues for weeks as he doesn’t leave home and no one visits him. During this time he becomes incredibly ill as he tries to prevent becoming Hyde by taking frequent doses of his potion.As an addict continues to abuse themselves, they are also starting to destroy themselves. The longer the abuse sustains, the harder it will be to recover.Finally, as Jekyll becomes weaker and Hyde grows stronger, Hyde’s conquering of Jekyll is inevitable which causes him to kill himself, thus killing Jekyll as well.
