One major theme in The Glass Castle is that in life, reality comes with responsibility and fantasy comes with no responsibility therefore one must be realistic in order to have a stable life. The picture of the car speeding down the road resembles Rex speeding because he thinks he is running away from the FBI, when in reality he is just running away from federal tax collectors. Rex has a tendency to block out reality, and live in fantasy because he thinks it is more adventurous and it just makes life more interesting. And since Rosemary is quite immature, she doesn't think of stopping him, instead she just goes along with it and decides to have fun with it.Tuesday 22 October 2013
