The figurative language used in the excerpt "The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds" is the <u>paradox</u>.
The paradox connects in the same situation two opposite things in a construct phrase that together acquires sense: although it seems more logical that when knowledge increases, ignorance reduces or fades away, the meaning of this sentence is that the more we know, the more we discover that yet we have much to learn; Then, the connection of the increasing knowledge with the unfolding ignorance makes sense.

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.
