Representation of childhood or adolescence shapes the meaning of work as a whole in a novel in variegated ways. Some being graceful and innocent, while others are harsh, depicting, and trial. Many novels provide the efficiency of children going through the multiple stages in life, and others providing one particular event. While the many children in the world discover and inhabit adolescence, books and pieces of literature are informing readers on how much this can affect a child, and examples of what types of childhood are portrayed. An excellent novel that portrays childhood and adolescence is, The Glass Castle. The Glass Castle is a novel of a family who faces many dangers and conditions that many cannot bear. Challenges await them as the struggle to haul themselves through conflicts that rise ahead of them.
Betrayed by their parents, the children are put through the agony of continuously moving, providing their own food, and seeking to go to school. Escalated upon her, conflicts sat on Jeanette’s shoulder, she and her siblings had to fend to themselves until they found a way to collect resources and move their way out. Finishing a journey to their dreams, the children made it on their own and accomplished their selves with significant careers. The parents eventually followed along, and managed to reside stable in being poor. Jeanette writes this book of fear, of intellectuality, confidence, and of family. Pulling through this book is a great reference when it comes to sharing a life’s story on adolescence and terror.
