In our writers craft class we are studying a memoir called The Glass Castle.  This book is actually a really great read.  There are so many negative things that go on throughout this book but the only thing that I seem to enjoy is the authors supreme love for fire.  Fire is a plays a huge roll in the story and in Jeannette Walls life.  The introduction to fire happens when Walls is only three years old.  She was boiling hot dogs when the flames from the stove jumped up and severely burned her body.  Even after this trial she still loved fire, as seen when she burns the face of her favourite Tinkerbell toy.  This is a great book, I'm actually surprised at how much I'm enjoying it.
