Grapes of Wrath
Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors. His style can be recognized throughout his writings. It is timeless, moving yet has an easy flow.
The Grapes of Wrath is a story written in the depression era. This is a moving tale of a poor farming family who are getting kicked off their land.
The characters and the story come to life with each word. This could easily be a true story of its time. It is a time in history we need to contain knowledge of. Though fictional, The Grapes of Wrath is a good choice for a history student to read as they turn the pages in their history book to The Great Depression. Many hard-working families suddenly became penniless, homeless and hopeless during this wretched era.
The term “sharecroppers” was nearly said with a sneer.Many Americans were duped into traveling out west with promises, hope and dreams of a bountiful land filled with wealth and riches untold. Yet upon their arrival, they like all the other hundreds of starving families find themselves living in camps and begging for work on a day to day schedule.
The people were treated as if they were a blemish on society because they were poor and hungry.
This is a moving story and a must read. It is an excellent example of a very hard time in history which our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.… (meer)

A MAN'S WORLD was absolutely delightful, I love Frankie, and I'm really glad that he didn't settle for that guy. I know this is set in the past and most men were like that, but she still deserves better.
I was a little disappointed by the end of WHY MARRY?, but before that it had great discussions and scenes and it was just really funny and lively.
