My ideas for the Glass Castle are:

- Research what happens when little kids parents are Alcoholic and how it makes an impression towards the kids.

- Find out about how and what depression is.

- Find out how many families are struggling to pay for a home and pay child support.

So my ideas are pretty much research random things that family's have wrong with them.

My ideas for the Glass Castle would be:

-research what happened to the children after they left for New York; what the book doesn't talk about.

-research things on Alcoholic families and the things it can do to the children.

-read other books with Alcoholic fathers and families and compare what happens in each.

-find out if Rose is still alive or if she has died.

and...

-research the area's that they lived (Welch, California, Arizona, New York, etc.)

AMBER:
Was the mother's artwork ever sold?
