The Glass Castle‚ written by Jeannette Walls‚ is a wonderful book full of many different stories that made her childhood unique. This book is a memoir of the interesting and talented Jeannette Walls. The second chapter of the book begins with her‚ as a three year old‚ burning herself severely when making hotdogs for herself. I think that chapter just sets the tone of the story.

Partners danced closer together‚ ad-libbed to the music‚ and found this new ragtime music exciting and exhilarating. The Bunny Hug‚ Turkey Trot‚ and Castle Walk were but a few of the many strutting and walking dances that quickly caught the publics fancy. The Foxtrot is no longer a fox trot at all‚ but rather a smooth‚ elegant dance. When watching a couple gliding gracefully across the dance floor one
