The Glass Castle
Compare and contrast Jeannette’s life to Billy’s life?
Billy's parents didn't care as much is Jeannette's parents did and Billy's dad was drunk but he was worse than what Rex was.

Billy Deel was a very troubled young man. He was labeled a "juvenile delinquent," and had been known to torture and kill animals, steal, and vandalize the property of others. Billy thought of Jeanette as a girlfriend, but the feeling was definitely not mutual. Although Jeannette's life was chaotic, there was no malicious abuse and Jeannette felt some sense of belonging and grounding to family. I don’t think the same can be said for Billy.
