1. Why did the glass not fit in the picture frame right away? Explain what you did to solve the issue in detail? The glass didn't fit in mine at the start because the wood wasn’t even to the other pieces of wood. So in doing this I had to go to the miter saw and fix the angle and cut off the wood that made it like that. Another reason why the glass didn’t fit is because when the pieces of wood wasn’t clamped and it wasn’t together tightly leaving gaps in the spaces between the wood, when this happened I had to sand it better and see if I had to cut anything extra off. Also the lip holding the glass was too small so, this made me have to fix and make the cut bigger. 2. What other issues did you run into and how did you go about solving them? Some things that I ran into was the fact that I had to fix the cutting because one piece was bigger than the other and the fact that I had to sand some excess pieces that the miter saw would not cut …show more content…
When having to recut the piece I had to measure it agin to make sure that both of the sides of the wood matched in measurements. Also sometimes I don’t like the waiting for the glue, stain, and clear coat to dry. When having to solve them I had to think of a way to fix it, then once I would do that I would see what the problem is. Following that I would use the different tools to fix it. In this I would use the miter saw. To fix the angles and use the sanders to fix any access piece I had hanging off my project stopping me from gluing. 3. Reflect on how you felt not having step by step directions for this project. What life lesson did you take away from this project? I felt that not having a step by step direction was okay because it helped me make my own creations, sometimes I feel that by having a step by step process, I feel that I have to make it perfect. The lesson that I took away from this is project is that you don’t always have directions to lead you on the way, also you might not always having someone helping
Towards the end of the movie, Glass makes up a story completely. He thinks he can get away with another one, but does not realize that an online magazine found some of his facts as interesting as not being real. They found out that his sources are fake. All of his notes and descriptions of the people neither the company are imaginations. Glass makes it so believable for the audience to think that the story exists that he takes over the audience’s imagination. Stephen Glass gets fact-checked over and over by many different people untill they realize that his story and facts do not even excist. It takes him a long time, but he finally admits that he lied in
Henry, opposed to Fitzgerald's idea, believed that Glass was the sole reason why they are still alive. Instead, Henry offered a monetary deal to anyone who wants to stay with Glass. He insisted to have them wait for Glass' death and provide a proper burial for him. When the others left, Fitzgerald aimed to suffocate Glass, but his son, Hawk saw Fitzgerald and tried to stop him. Fitzgerald ended up stabbing Hawk in front of Glass. The next day, Glass found himself lying on the ground and saw his son lifeless. The rising action started the moment Glass woke up after spending the night beside his dead son. Despite the fact that he was feeble, Glass was determined to proceed by crawling. Man vs Self, is another major conflict in the movie. Glass knew that he was going to have a hard time with his body. Yet, his weak body didn't block his determination to keep moving
The Glass Castle is a memoir written by Jeannette Walls and it tells a story the life of Jeannette Walls and her family. Towards the beginning of the novel, the family made a pitstop at a casino in Las Vegas where the parents decided to gamble hoping they will earn extra cash. On their way home, the doors flew open, and Jeannette suddenly falls out of the car and rolls down a hill after the car took a sharp turn. The accident left her with a blood nose, multiple scrapes, and pebbles stuck on her skin. After a long wait, she began to panic that her parents decided to desert her. Eventually the car returned, and Jeannette accuses her family for leaving her behind and even refuses to hug her dad. This occurrence ends with her family calling her

Gold was all they needed to build the glass castle dad had the architectural plans already made
Finally, there is a point to be made for the partnerships that are created in this program, specifically in student/youth and educator/mentor interactions. Considering there is surely an opportunity for “mentors” to pass along their expertise and knowledge in this collaborative environment, it should not be understated how valuable such positions are. In this case, the mentor helps one or more project teams find a project vision if they do not already have one, and then to help them realize that vision, and guide them along the way. They should be expected to pass on their knowledge of proper tool usage and safety measures while helping to show the importance of “failure as a means to success” is nurtured.

Now you're probably wondering why the heck is this book called the glass castle. Well this book is called the Glass castle because Jeannette’s father Rex promised the kids that's when he “hit it big” he would build them their dream Castle that's made of glass hence the name. Sounds like a great plan right?
The Glass castle was something the girl Jeannette and her father had planned for a long time and wanted to accomplish just like the American dream is for many people. The way they were going to get this goal was this: “All we had to do was find gold, dad said, and we were on the verge of that. Once he finished the Prospector and we struck it rich, he’d start work on our Glass Castle.” (Walls 25) The way they wanted to achieve their goal was the same way just about everyone else wanted to. They wanted the American dream. They wanted to work hard and never give up until they had something great.
In the memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle is an important symbol to Jeannette and the rest of the Walls family. The Glass Castle represents hope to the children at a young age. Jeanette's dad loved telling stories to her when she was little “about the wondrous things he was going to do. Like build the Glass Castle” (Walls 25). In this case, the Glass Castle represents hope and luxury. The Walls are hoping for a life that is good and a luxurious bright future. Unfortunately, the family " 'never did build that Glass Castle"' (Walls 279). The Glass Castle represents something else at this point in the book, an unacheivable dream. Glass has the ability to shatter, this proves that Jeannette's father wanted something unattainable
The extreme hardship encountering him was something he was forced to overcome in order to achieve survival. Punke describes the pain and blood in such a way that readers will side with Glass as he faces adversity of all kinds.
The title The Glass Castle is a metaphor for Jeanette Walls life because her family was like a glass castle. They were always together but once one person in the family broke apart or cracked the whole family slowly broke apart. In the story, Maureen was barely home because she would stay at her friends house most of the time. After this Lori moved to New York alone and left home.
Glass’ life was not always as dangerous as the trapping trip but early on his life took a toll for the worst. His brother wrote to him, “Their mother had died, he wrote, following their father after barely a month. There was more. ’It is also my sad duty to tell you that your dear Elizabeth has died’” (Punke, 79).
The first instance in which we begin to see Glass’ irrational attempts of revenge is in the very
Glass has a variety of unique properties. Glass is hard, very brittle, a good insulator, and does not react to other chemicals easily. In addition to this, glass is considered an amorphous solid. This means that the molecular structure of glass is mostly random. This is because in the process of making glass, glass is cooled so quickly that it does not have time to form or create a structure at the molecular level. This process is known as quenching.
