A parent’s love can be described as a double-edged sword, having the power to both defend and destroy a child. Explain how this

is true in the case of Waverly’s mother in rules of the game

Waverly's mother is a very proud and strong woman who tries to achieve recongnition through her dauther's accomplishments in chess and when Waverly gains national recognition her mother starts making Waverly's victories hers.

There is nothing wrong with a mother being proud of her daugther's triumphs, but in the case of Waverly her mother became obsessed with her daugther at the point of trying to live her life through Waverly. And the worring part is that all this was covered under the mask of love, Waverly's mother never meant any harm for her daughter, all the damaged she caused was disguised by love, and this is where the phrase "A parent’s love can be described as a double-edged sword, having the power to both defend and destroy a child" becomes valid, sometimes love can do more damage because when you see it you can not protect yourself, it is love in the end.

How does each child try to help the parents in the glass castle? 5 sentences minimum
IrinaK [193]

In The Glass Castle, the Walls family consists of four children. The oldest one is <em>Lori</em>, who often teams up with Jeanette to help the family. She tries to help them by being realistic, and trying to see the world as it really is. The second one is <em>Jeanette</em>, the main character in the story. Jeanette's most important contribution to the family is the fact that she never loses faith in them, so she is the glue that holds them together. This is particularly important in the case of her father.

<em>Brian</em> is the next child, and he is a great defender of his sisters. He is also the most honest one about the parent's shortcomings. Because of this, he is able to bring some reality into their lives, and he is able to remain more distant from the chaos. Finally, <em>Maureen</em> is the one who reflects what a chaotic childhood can cause on a child. She is more affected mentally and spiritually by her upbringing, in contrast with her siblings. She is also the one who seems to contribute the least to the family's stability.
