chapter 6: breaking point
I really liked chapter 6, for me it was the breaking point. I especially liked the way everything seemed so unrealistically realistic, if that makes any sense. The dialogues were so natural, natural enough that while i was reading a movie was playing in my head, not only that because that always happens but this movie was clearer than daylight, every small detail was portrayed. So far even though it was barely chapter 6, the book has been an introduction, or for lack of a better term, boring. I have no doubt that I will finish the book very quickly due to interest in what will come next all thanks to chapter 6.

Yeah I know what you mean Marissa it is pretty boring up to chapter 6 but after that trust me you may not want to put it down. I didn't want to put down the book and I'm on chapter 10. It gets really good just saying.
ReplyDeleteThen i just read chapter 7 and like honestly when he writes chapters like that, (i.e.chapter 5) it makes me lose interest. I dont know what that writing technique is called but it is super confusing and hard to follow.
ReplyDeleteThose are expository chapters and they are there for a great purpose. If you don't understand why then you're not fully understanding what Steinbeck is trying to do.
DeleteI actually enjoyed the book! I loved and hated it but to be honest, the author makes the story so real! I loved the book because it left you with questions and you wanted to keep reading to be able to answer them. I disliked the book because everyone looks for a happy ending but sometimes there isn't an ending. Sometimes you have to get dirty to survive. There really is not an ending because life never ends, it just goes on
ReplyDeleteTo be honest only the first two chapter bored me. However, at chapter 3 i was confused but was reminded of Steinbecks clever way of writing and adding symbolism and it added so much depth to the book that i had to finish it and find similar occasions where i needed to decipher symbolism which i personally enjoy props to Steinbeck
