The student lists several textual features and authorial choices from *The Glass Castle*, including euphemistic language, irony, and symbolism, demonstrating an understanding of how these elements contribute to Jeannette's perspective during her childhood. While the analysis of these features is clear and appropriately linked to the thesis on tone and perspective change, the student does not convincingly analyze the tonal shift's impact on the reader's understanding of the narrative. Nevertheless, the student effectively interprets and evaluates how these features convey the complexities of Jeannette's relationship with her parents, particularly in illustrating her transition from idealism to a more realistic view of her childhood. Overall, the analysis is well-connected to the chosen topic, emphasizing the evolution of Jeannette's perspective.
