Rex Walls vs Chris Gardner

They are both different people and surprisingly there are many similarities between Rex Walls (the father in the “Glass Castle”) and Chris Gardner (the father in the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness”). The Differences between the two is that Rex Walls is an alcoholic, unmotivated, and terrible parent while Chris Gardner is not. There are many similarities between the two dads. First similarities is that both father show compassion to their kids. Even through Rex is a terrible parent but he still loves his kids. Another similarities is that they are both intelligent. They both don't have a great record of education but they do show that they have as much intelligent as a person who went to a post secondary education. And the last similarities is how they had a terrible money making scheme. Rex Walls wanting to build a machine to dig for gold to make it rich. While Chris Gardner spent all of his money on a bone scanner machine which didn't help him out at all. They both had an crazy idea of making it rich but it didn't turn out right. Luckily Chris Gardner move on from this idea and made it rich while Rex Walls didn't.
