Section One

I just read the first section of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. The hurt and regret Jeannette must have felt is astonishing. Her mother is homeless and she is living in an apartment in New York City, which can cost up to three thousand dollars a month. When she met her mother at a the restaurant, her mother didn't want Jeannette's help, and I don't think she ever will want help. I added the song "Apologize" by Timbaland featuring One Republic, because I think the song explains what Jeannette's mother is feeling.

Apologize Lyrics:

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
