The father of Jeannette Walls. I think that Rex is a fairly skilled electrician, and also engineer. He usually spends his time trying to invent tools that can make his family wealthy. Rex Walls had suffered from sexual abuse when he was a child, which is most likely the cause of his alcoholism, and destructive behaviour he displays throughout the memoir. Although Rex had a troubled childhood, and was an alcoholic who could not be a good role model for his children. Rex was still able to provide his children with love that lasted forever. Because of this love for his children, they were able to get through their horrific upbringing, and were able to live good peaceful lives as adults. Though out this memoir Rex has changed from being very spontaneous, and always doing the ”skedddaddle” to settling down in New York, and living there until he passes away. Whenever Rex had thought that the authorities were after him he would make the family do the “skeddaddle”. When Rex settles down in New York he is much less spontaneous, which was maybe due to his aging, and is able to live in New York until he passes
