The Glass Castle is a memoir that was written by Jeannette Walls, who explains how within her childhood grew up extremely poor and had an alcoholic father, a mother who took advice from no one, and had three siblings, Brian , Lori, and Maureen. Rex and Rose Mary Walls show signs of being permissive or uninvolved parents by having very few demands, neglect to the children's needs, and letting their children make their own decisions. Throughout her memoir, Jeannette had multiple occasions were herself or her siblings would have to fend for themselves, because Rex or Rose Mary refused to hold on to a job. For example “When we wanted money, we walked along the roadside picking up beer cans and bottles that we redeemed for two cents each.”
Jared fails to receive consistent love and affection from his mother who neglects his upbringing and safety, resulting in a discourse with his idea of love. Robinsosn explores the theme of parental neglect's impact on a child's self-worth, Jared strikes his mom with a question “Did you ever think of not having me?”(Robinson 90) which shows how the lack of affection can mislead children’s personal value. The use of foreshadowing by Robinson hints at the fact that Jared may have grown up with a parent who placed more importance on financial gain than other values. Throughout his childhood, his mother was constantly deceiving and cheating in order to exploit money and material possessions which was made known to him when she claimed that “Richie could be the answer to a lot of our problems”(Robinson 21). It is not surprising that his behavior as an adult is characterized by the same lack of moral and ethical principles as his mother’s.

Sometimes people don’t realize how much their decisions and choices can effect others around them. Parenting is one of these such cases. The thought of having to raise children is loved by many people, but it is often a feared reality. Many people don’t see themselves as being capable of being a parent, even though they are very capable of being a good parent. Some of the best examples of good parenting fall into the book To Kill a Mockingbird.
The way of the relationship between father and child in William Faulkner's Barn Burning is shown in the first passage of the story. As a rule a father-child relationship would be based on true appreciation, adoration, dedication, and deference. These building pieces were missing in Abner and Sarty Snopes relationship. Sarty's faithfulness to his dad seemed to originate from quite a while apprehension of the outcomes of not complying with his dad's charges. The "nigger" that could put the fault on Abner was not to be found.
Atticus, Bob Ewell, and Walter Cunningham all have very different parenting styles. Although they have different parenting styles they help portray three main themes of the book, courage, justice, and prejudice. They raised their children differently but over all they turned out alright and happy.
It is Luke’s fatherly love for his daughter that leads to his dilemma between pursuing the truth of doing what is just and right and demonstrating his love for his daughter. " A Father's Story," by Andre Dubus shares that the love of a father toward his own daughter means that he will protect her even if the process calls for him to misplace a part of himself. To protect his daughter, the father is forced to undergo challenges, a battle between his mind and his values. In the story, Luke Ripley, the protagonist, drops his core principles and ethical values deliberately to protect his daughter. I believe that the central conflict in "A Father's story" is a betrayal of a friend's trust and personal values and ethics for the sake of love, because

In her novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee demonstrates the most effective way to raise children is with a mutual relationship of respect. The method of parenting in this coming to age story is not conventional, but the results show that a respectful relationship is impactful to a child when compared to other examples.

Little Girls are supposed to melt their daddy’s hearts.
