Wordy is worse

Students are also worried about their long assignments. When they are given papers more than 4 pages, they always think that would be too long for them. To finish long essays, people like to repeat things again and again to fill up the papers. That makes papers boring. To write a long essay, what students should do is to expand their theses instead of repeating. As a result, instructors always expect their students to tighten their wordy senntences. That helps to give more information because readers can understand in shorter time. Instuctors can also see the improvement students have made through the tighten wordy sentences.

The glass castle to Jeannette

The glass castle was one of the most important things in Jeannette life. That was kind of the only good motion of her father doing for his kids, but even Jeannette who had the most faith in him did not believe in it anymore. When Jeannette told her dad that she did not believe in the glass castle, it was the point that Jeannette had no more faith in him. Just like Jeannette's father said on page 230, the family is falling apart, so did the unreal fragile glass castle dream, and so did the faith of Jeannette in her father.

I thought Jeannette Wall was a strong girl. Although she suffered so many struggles, she did not really complain her parents and her life. She was always finding a way to make her life work well. When her father told her they would start their glass castle at their poor house, she really did what she could do to help build the glass castle, such as digging a big hole to help the foundation. Although the hole ended up filling garbage, Jeannette did what she could to make things work.

Jeannette Wall might feel that her life was bad. She liked to have things and she knew her family is lack of money. When she knew one women in the town is whore, she did not think that she is dirty. The first thing came in her mind was that did whoring make easy money? That really reflected that little Jeannette knew that money was important to her.

Her dad seemed like he was stopping drinking. He tried so hard that he belted him self in bedroom and kept kids away from him. Jeannette still had faith of that he would stop drinking but he ended up drinking again and beating Jeannette's mom. That was one of times Jeannette's let Jeannette down.
