Early in the book, Mrs. Walls says that “It’s the Joshua tree’s
struggle that gives it its beauty.” The
same can be said of people. Often it is
our struggles that make us beautiful in our own unique ways. The Walls’ children are like Joshua trees:
beautiful, tough, survivors. (I) For
example, early in the book, Jeanette Walls tells about one of the hardships the
Walls children frequently faced: hunger.
(C) On
page 22, Jeanette Walls tells us “We ate irregularly, and when we did, we’d
gorge ourselves.” (E) Like the Joshua tree which only gets rain occasionally, the
Walls children learn to eat as much as possible when food is available, knowing
that it may be awhile before they get food again. They have learned to survive in a harsh,
unpredictable environment.
