Jeannette Walls, the second oldest child, was chosen to be interviewed next. Jeannette Walls is a tall, skinny, pale, orange haired thirteen year old girl with large scar across her body. Jeannette got this scar from an incident when she was three years old and living in trailer park in southern Arizona. During this time, Jeannette was left unattended and allowed to cook hot dogs and her dress caught on fire, leading to her to receive severe burns that required a skin graft (Walls 9-10).

The neighbour remembers that the mother informed her that her, “child smacks his cheeks on the floor” (15) yet he does not look clumsy. It is not possible for both cheeks to be hit on the floor at the same time while falling on the floor therefore the mother is lying. It represents her dishonest and how she would neglect her child to fabricate a suitable image of herself and family in front of others to protect her reputation. Not to mention, the mother veils her son’s burns by stating, “sparks burn starts in his skin” (22). Sparks cannot burn star shapes into skin and it shows the destruction of a vulnerable life. The abuse does not benefit anyone and will influence the child emotionally and physically yet she is not doing anything to support him. Moreover, things are not always the way they seem, which is proven through, “the cast that holds his small bones” (24-25). The injuries that the mother utilizes to conceal the abuse would not break his bones, but damage his skin. The mother does not give her child the proper care to heal from the abuse nor does she show concern. The description portrays his weakness and innocence because he does not deserve it yet other children are supported by their kinds mothers. His mother chooses to act as if there is everything is perfect and ignores her child and mistake of abusing

Taylor looked down. Through the flimsy hospital gown, she could see all of the charred skin on her arms. There was some on her legs, too.

All Taylor needed was the car, and she would figure out the case. The car, and she would know who caused the death of her adored cousin and her cherished parents.
