Two Classes, Divided by 'I Do' & The Glass Castle

In the article "Two Classes, divided by 'I Do" by Jason DeParle, The "American Dream" is again discussed but towards a different idea. This article explains how family structure has an affect on the social class. The two mothers Ms. Faulkner and Ms. Schairer. Both friends and have similar pay, they are separated in this article by their martial status. Ms. Faulkner is married and lives on two incomes, while Ms Schairer has to support herself. When you compare this article to The Glass Castle, Rex and Rosemary stay married throughout the book. Similar to Ms. Faulkner situation, a mother and father brings different perspectives to the table. In The Glass Castle, Rex is a very mathematical and logical man. While Rosemary is very original and likes to think "Outside the Box" a little. Also the article gives an argument that families with two incomes have an advantage in terms of income and nurturing time. Although The Walls family wasn't in financial stable. I do think that the parents in  The Glass Castle gave their children plenty of nurturing time. Rosemary and Rex did give their children plenty of lifelong lessons that gave them success in their adult lives today.
