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

My Essay Topic Stuff

My topic is going to be about the one about how dehumanizing the slave master and the slave to themselves and this is a good topic because it will show you the harmful effects about slavery toward each other and how slavery can kill everyones ego not just the slaves themselves but everyone around them. My main argument is going to be about how the slave masters and the slaves are dehumanizing themselves and why that is going to be a really bad thing for everyone down the road from now. I will also include how dehumanizing slaves and slave masters might be actully a good thing for this particular argument. Also how the slave masters actully end up dehumanizing the slaves and themselves all at once and how horrible this can be. I could prove this by using The Narrative of Freddy D as a resource for pretty much all of my info for now and then i will use some old resources from back then like uncle toms cabin and the liberator and good ol' wikipedia. So that is my plan

My reaction to the ending!

This chapter was my favorite because Freddy D was free like a free man haha and was getting paid like a free man also and everyone started to treat him like he was a actual person and not just as a piece of property. So that chapter was my favorite because it shows that he is a real human. What i hated was that when he worked he only got 6 cents compared to the other man who got 6 dollars and that is really horrible i think he should be paid more! But to wrap this up it was awesome!


Questions
1. Why was he paid 6 cents and not 6 dollars?
2.

Comments
1. This chapter was the best because he was free.
2. It was sad that he was only paid so little.

Chapter 10 Stuff

I thought that chapter 10 was really long. That made me lose where i was almost all the time, but anyways apart from that this chapter was pretty awesome like about how mr covey whipped one minute and for a week straight he did not whip at all i mean whats up with that? So i have no idea what this chapter was about because i got lost almost half the time because it made no sense to me and so all i did was just read it again. This chapter was epic because of how like i said before how mr covey dosent whip people sometimes because hes not consistent. Also i like how they refer to other parts from the panphlet haha which i thought was pretty cool



Questions

1. Why did Mr. Covey stop whipping one day or weeks at a time for no reason.

2. What was the certificate about for "Mr. Waggles"



Comments

1. I really dont like this chapter because it was really long for me anyways

2. This chapter was cool
