Choices Aren't Universal

The Glass Castle is nothing like the Kant family, it is a train wreck. It is an example of all of the bad choices parents can make and a portrayal of struggle. However, this family does not struggle in a way that can be understood by everyone. Very few people can understand the direction this life is following. There is no beauty in this work because it does not express a theme that is universal to all people. While all people struggle, they do not follow the pattern of complete deterioration, as this family does. I cannot see my reflection in the glass, therefor I see no beauty within.
