    "On the eighth day, when God was handing out whining privileges, he came upon Jeannette Walls and said, 'For you, an unlimited lifetime supply.'Apparently, Walls declined His kind offer." —Chicago Tribune "Charles Dickens's scenes of poverty and hardship are no more audacious and no more provocative than those in the pages of this stunning memoir." —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Some people are born storytellers. Some lives are worth telling. The best memoirs happen when these two conditions converge. In The Glass Castle, they have." —New York Newsday "The Glass Castle is the kind of story that keeps you awake long after the rest of the house has fallen asleep." —Vogue Praise for The Glass Castle The autobiographer is faced with the daunting challenge of... attempt­ ing to understand, forgive and even love the witch Readers will mar­ vel at the intelligence and resilience of the Walls kids." —Francine Prose, The New York Times Book Review "A pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps, thoroughly American story." —Kirkus Reviews "Charles Dickens has nothing on Jeannette Walls, author of The Glass Castle, the unflinching story about her grueling, nomadic childhood.

    Summer/Fall THE CEA FORUM 2018 Four Perspectives on Teaching Jeannette Walls’s Memoir, The Glass Castle Matthew Fike Winthrop University Introduction In 2004, my home institution, Winthrop University, a comprehensive state university with approximately 6,500 students, instituted a Common Book Program that required students to read and discuss a nonfiction text in freshman composition. Later, the Common Book migrated to a course dedicated to strategies for succeeding in college, and it is currently housed in a second- semester freshman seminar called “The Human Experience: Who Am I?”. The university frequently seeks to inspire freshmen and transfer students by selecting texts that depict young persons’ success in academic life despite great obstacles. Here are some examples of this sort of narrative. Ron Suskind’s A Hope in the Unseen: An American Odyssey from the Inner City to the Ivy League follows Cedric Jennings from the housing projects in Washington, DC, to Brown University and beyond. Bill Strickland’s Make the Impossible Possible: One Man’s Crusade to Inspire Others to Dream Bigger and Achieve the Extraordinary describes the author’s rise from academic aimlessness to become a pedagogical innovator, airline pilot, and guest lecturer at the Harvard Business School. William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer, in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope, describe William’s efforts to build an electricity-generating windmill despite poverty and famine in rural Malawi. As a result of 35 www.cea-web.org Summer/Fall THE CEA FORUM 2018 William’s TED Talk in Tanzania, he was able to study at the African Bible College and Dartmouth College, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 2014.
