the glass castle ; close reading
"On the way home, she kept seeing for the first time all these things that most everyone else had stopped noticing because they'd seen them every day. She read street signs and billboards aloud. She pointed out starlings perched on telephone wires. We went into a bank and she stared up at the vaulted ceiling and described the octagonal patterns. At home, Lori insisted that I try on her glasses, and the world dissolved into fuzzy, blotchy, shapes". Even though the quote does not have a lot of "layers", I love this line from the Glass Castle because it makes people realize different perspectives. It shows that not every one sees how you see. I interpreted it more than just, Lori could see. I felt like this was a new beginning for her. She can be like every one else now that she has glasses, like a window to a new world. Even how Jeanette put on Lori' s new glasses, Jeanette saw things as s Lori had. Fuzzy, blurred, and not really making any sense at all l. They traded perspectives and got a new feel. Our perpesctives are really limited in the the world because we are different people , with different minds and we h have different bodies. Each person has a different situation, so to mistreat some one because of some thing that you can not understand is not considerate of any one except to your self. That is why it is important to try to see things differently and not thinking about only you.
