Individual Novel Response - The Grapes of Wrath
The novel i am reading is called The Grapes of Wrath and its by John Steinback and its a pretty good novel. I read about 3 chapters so far and its about a Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, who are driven off their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised land of California and they are forced to survive through the dustbowl but i only know that because i read the back of the book. I think this book will be a pretty good one and i hope theres going to be alot of adventure in this book but i must read it to find out.. Or find a summary. So far this book never really tells us anything except pretty much just the setting and main characters and a little information buts thats all for about 3 chapters and im too bored so im just gonna keep this simple as in not 250 words so i have very high hopes for this book and it better be worth it because i need to recheck in this book at the library.

The Jungle 4-6!
In these chapters jurgis is still trying to fit in with the american way of living and is trying to make a living off of about 1 dollar and a half a day and that shows that alot of people back then worked really hard but did not make as much as they should of i also. I didnt like the house they bought because it was gross haha but i guess if you need a place to live you will take anything. I liked how that they talked about how dieasaed meat got mixed in with the non dieasaed meat and that just shows how lazy some of the workers were and possibly endangered many lives so all in all i thought this chapter set us up for something that can be either awesome or disgusting or even both!
Comments:
1. I thought it ws horrible how he only got 1 and a half dollars a day
2. I liked how he carried stuff on his head
3. I liked how jurgis is always done with his work
4. I didnt like how the americans were treating the new immagrints
5. I like how the chapter is very informative
