I really enjoyed the book, "The Glass Castle".  It is full of a lot of lessons.  I did like writing about it, however I still didn't find it coming easy to me.  Maybe part of the struggle with this book is that we as human beings judge situations and people without even thinking about it.  Immediately a reader would want judge the Walls parents and not care about the reasons they lived the way we did.  It is hard to suspend that judgment, and then move on from it and analyze the book more.

Unfortunately, I felt that writing this paper was harder than the first.  I am not sure if it was the topic, or me getting in my own way.  I struggle to find a thesis and then to stay on track with that thesis through my whole paper.  I found it time consuming to find appropriate quotes to support my argument and to find research to support my argument.  The feedback from the first paper we wrote did help my train of thought in the beginning stages of writing this paper, but I fell back into old habits while writing like getting off topic and not supporting my thesis.  Writing is definitely an art that takes time to perfect.
