The Glass Castle, A story of Jeanette Walls

The memoir The Glass Castle is an incredible memoir. I believe this because of how she didn't hide anything, even though it may have been personal. She also told her life story more like a fiction book than an autobiography, throwing in humor, and constructed her story well.
I liked how in The Glass Castle, Jeanette didn't hide anything from her childhood. An example of this was the story of how she was basically raped by a boy in her town. Many women are extremely uncomfortable sharing their stories similar to what Jeanette went through, however when she put it in her story, it only helped you understand how different her life was than most.
Another reason The Glass castle is a good memoir is because of how the author made her story funny, interesting, or even suspenseful at parts. Much of the time, when reading an autobiography, elements like suspense or action aren't usually expected, however when I came across a moment where the author included some humor, it only added to the story.
Lastly, the author structured her story really well. The way that she told her story from a first person perspective and included stories about not only her but her parents and sisters. When she talked about moving around she would include stories about how the people around her acted and how they influenced her throughout her life.
The memoir The Glass Castle is great because of how Jeanette Walls didn't hide anything from her life, how she made her story sound almost like fiction, and how she constructed her story.
