pgs. 1-100
I think that even though the Walls family has little to no money they had it better off than most families. The parents, even though the father drank heavily, were very intellectually gifted. Both of them are able to teach their kids various sciences and literature better than the school. Some kids aren't able to get an education like that. But they were also worse off than most families. Every time money got tight the family packed up and left. They were like nomads. I can't imagine living like that, just leaving a place. That would be very hard especially if I were attached to a certain place/house.
What I found interesting so far was when Jeannette went to the hospital then checked out 'Rex Walls style'. Which basically meant leaving the hospital without paying. I think this is a drastic way to save money. I mean what if Jeannette wasn't fully healed or the people in the hospital tracked down the family and demanded they pay, what then?
Venus was a creative idea for Jeannette's birthday gift. Other presents could get lost, stolen, broken, or old but Jeannette will always be able to 'have' Venus.
