Summary: Stephan Glass

who fell from grace when it was found he had fabricated over half of his articles. He was a staff writer at The New Republic for three years who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in Washington, D.C.

He did everything in his power to make sure that everyone is pleased by him so that they do not figure him out.

But since one lie creates another, eventually it got out of his control and he ended up partially or entirely fabricating 27 out of 41 of his news articles. Although at the beginning his goals was to be a journalist, later during the movie it drifted to entertaining the readers rather than providing fact-based information.

The Glass Castle; a memoir by Jeannette Walls is a heart wrenching story of a family that learned what loyalty is and is not. The family is dysfunctional and unique. It was eye-opening to read about this family moved from place to place not knowing where they would end up, what they would eat or what they would wear. Reading about how the Walls kids dealt with mental illness and alcoholism was indeed eye opening.

There are people out there who never get out of their rut and live the rest of their lives unhappy, but then there are the Walls children. They have two parents who never amount to anything. They let their children starve, let their children struggle to survive on their own, and even though they could make their children’s lives better, they don’t.

The whole story is a flashback because she’s older and she’s writing about her troubled childhood.

Throughout this memoir Walls discloses countless episodes of how she survived her childhood. Her parents did not have a stable income to support four children.

The film Shattered Glass presents the ethical issues of fabrication and the deception of the writer, Stephen Glass, to his editor and co-workers. He deliberately sensationalized his stories in order to gain his reader’s attention. His facts were partially, if not completely, inaccurate and he presented notes that he fabricated as facts for each of his pieces at the New Republic. Journalists in the media have a duty to the people to report the truth and follow an ethical code whenever reporting stories.

City of Glass is a novel written by Paul Auster in 1985, and its one of the stories included in the series of novels The New York Trilogy (1987). One of the essential themes that recur in many of Austers works is the search for identity and personal meaning, and this is exactly one of the main elements of City of Glass. It deals with this detective writer, who descends into madness when he becomes a private investigator himself by mistake.

Besides that, I will concentrate on the themes that are dealt with in the story.
