Perfect Utopia

My perfect utopia is basically ideal and i guess generally could speak for everyone.

NO:

• Terror
• Rape
• Abuse
• Kidnapping
• Trafficing
• Hardcore drugs that take your life
• Suffering
• Atomic bombs
• Worthless/Not being good enough feeling
• One-sided people -it's good to stand out for what you believe but wrong to shut out and force your opinions down others throats

War without hate (more of war with reason/something worth fighting for rather then to just kill) People say fighting doesn't solve anything but sometimes that's all we have to thrive off. If that makes sense? I think it's makes more sense to say an arm for an arm, what you do you deserve back - when people attack you, you need self defense, got to protect yourself you have to do what you have to do.

-can't exactly say no heartbreaks, no fights, and no pain- I mean let's be real here, no one likes the feeling of any of that but would you rather just be a happy emotionless zombie? Those are the things that actually give us some feeling, let us know we are still breathing at the end of the day; make your skin tougher, making you less naive and wiser.

I've heard nothing but great things about "The Glass Castle" and I'm seriously coming to believe them. Every page has been filled with something completely wild, and not expected that it just makes me keep wanting to turn page after page. I'm honestly suprised that it's a memoir because some of the stuff is just so out of the ordinary and unbelievable that I have to remind myself this is completely true. For example, "...we took a sharp turn over some railroad tracks, the door flew open, and I tumbled out the of car. I rolled several yards...I lifted my head to watch the Green Caboose get smaller and smaller and then disappear around the bend." (Jeannete Walls, 30) -Then it continues to talk about how she waited for her parents to come back for her, like how do you not notice your kid has flew out the car door and not stop immedietly? And even the part when their parents make all the kids, including their newborn baby sit in the back of a huge moving truck for hours in total darkness and in silence.

The thing I like most about it, is that although some of the stuff written is extremely bizarre it's also has life wisdom that is somewhat true. For example, the part where her father is teaching her to swim but keeps letting her sink, "If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim." (66) I think the authors point of this novel was to tell her story, that the fact that such wierd lifestyles can equal total reality is baffling- that not everyone is the same and what they think is abnormal, well...she can blow that thought out of the water.
