This chapter starts off with Jannette at the age of three. In these chapters Jannette's family is on the run from the FBI. Her father is in a lot of trouble and they need to find a place to live. Her mother and father decide to move to the dessert, in search of gold. Jannette's father promises Jannette once they strike gold he will build her a glass castle. Jannette is so excited about this because he promises her a glass staircase with a room she can decorate. Even though her dad promises her this he is not motivated enough to actually go out and look for gold. In the dessert they come across a lot of dangerous things such as, coyotes, scorpions, and rattle snakes which killed their dog. Janettes parents believe that this is the best place for their kids to live and for them not to be in school.
In these chapters I now know why the book is titled The Glass Castle. Her dad is promising her something she will never have which will just disappoint her in the future.
