The Glass Castle Application Paper

(p. 1 - p. 288)

Application Question:

Pick one Family Developmental period occurring within The Glass Castle. Summarize the Walls experience within this period, both positive developmental aspects and challenges experienced by the family.

Identify 1 peer-reviewed, empirical article from a Family Studies related journal published within the past 10 years. Using this article, write an evidence-based "tip" that you would share with the Walls family.

Reflect on what has the potential to change within the Walls family if they were to implement this "tip."

In answering your chosen question, refer to the following guidelines:

• Responses should be 2 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font - no need to re-state the question).

• Do NOT summarize the reading.

• Cite specific page numbers when referencing parts of the story(e.g., "On p. ___, when _____, it demonstrates _____). Responses without any page citations will automatically lose 5 points.

• Reference the page numbers of The Glass Castle. Provide a citation in APA format for the empirical article.
