Kayla's Annotated Bibliography of The Glass Castle and Ecocriticism

New York Times Newspaper Archive:
Appalachia - Poverty, Beauty and Poverty


By, REESE C. "Appalachia -- Poverty, Beauty and Poverty: Appalachia -- Poverty, Beauty and Poverty."
New York Times (1923-Current file), 1965, ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The New York Times. Web. <https://search-proquest-com.erl.lib.byu.edu/docview/116730812?accountid=4488>.


I found this through the American Literature database on the HBLL website. It’s a New York Times article
from 1965 that focuses on individual families and their lifestyles in the same time period Jeanette Walls
lived there with her family. It connects the way their impoverished lifestyle is affecting the surrounding
land and fits perfectly within the context of my paper.



The Glass Castle Journal Review: 
Shirley Sealey


Sealy, Shirley. "The Glass Castle." Film Journal International 120.9 (2017): 79-80. Web.


I found this through the American Literature database of Performing Arts. This is a published review of
The Glass Castle that discusses the way the movie impacts the original published story and changes
certain dynamics and feelings as they were portrayed within the book.



Minds and Hearts: Using Jeanette Walls’s Memoir, “The Glass Castle”, to Teach Emotional Intelligence
Andrea Irvin


Andrea Irvin. "Minds and Hearts: Using Jeannette Walls's Memoir, "the Glass Castle", to Teach Emotional
Intelligence." The English Journal 102.1 (2012): 57-60. Research Library Prep. Web.


This is a scholarly article I found through JSTOR about a schoolteacher in poverty-stricken Appalachian
Mountains who teaches her students to recognize emotional cues between the Walls family. She points
out the way the family dynamics change as they grow older and move, which is the main focus of my
thesis.



Johns-Hopkins Guide: Ecocriticism 



The Johns-Hopkins guide to ecocriticism allows me to further understand and apply the different aspects
of ecocriticism including stewardship and protecting the environment. 



The Impact of Homelessness and Shelter Life on Family Relationships
Elizabeth W Lindsey


Lindsey, Elizabeth W. "The Impact of Homelessness and Shelter Life on Family Relationships." Family
Relations 47.3 (1998): 243-52. Sociological Abstracts. Web.


This is an article I found on Google Scholar that studies individual relationships between homeless family
members and how they evolve through their different situations. This is a point I want to focus on in my
paper as I suggest how having an unbalanced lifestyle led to the disintegration of the relationships within
the Walls family. 



The Glass Castle Soundtrack



The Spotify soundtrack for the movie contains many insights into the beliefs of the Walls family and
directly relates to the settings in which they live. I will search the lyrics of these songs in order to gain
more understanding into how dynamics between the family and the land change throughout the movie.
