I recently read the book The Glass Castle in our book club,
I loved the book, I couldn't put it down, I found it totally
believeble; however, one of the girls in the club did not-
her problem with reading the book was that she thought
that Jeannete didn't show a lot of emotion in a lot of
different difficult circumstances- that it was written like
a documentary, she just stated the facts, but with little
emotion. --example, when Jeannette wrote about her lack
of food, my friend seemed to feel because Jeannette didn't
state HOW hungry she was ( I was starving, my stomach
was growling, I don't know how I'm going to get through
the day, I feel sick etc.) that it somehow wasn't quite
believable. Most people in Jeannetee's circumstances would
express how the situation made them feel, instead, in most
cases she just stated what happened.
We also saw Jeannette's interview on Tv on the show
"The View" Jeannette also showed a lack of emotion then
as well.
Did anyone else feel the same way as my friend felt,
do you have an opinion as to why Jeannette wrote it that
way?
Would appreciate your comments.
