The Final Chapter
Well all I have to say is...wow! Four hundred pages of a beautiful tragedy. Steinbeck definitely hooks the reader in to the story and the overall setting through different perspectives and many literary techniques. The novel as a whole is just phenomenal and I have to confess I was pretty close to shedding a tear. Nevertheless, the closing sequence of events leaves me very emotional and wondering what will happen to the Joad family. ~Sabrina Hernandez

Yeah, I know. Me too! I'm curious of what happened to Joad's family. This book is very emotional and in some ways can relate to family struggles now.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with both of you it was a really good book. Steinbeck is an amazing writer and knows how he captures the reader. I would love to be able to write like he does.
ReplyDeleteI like the amount of symbolism that if no thought about is easily gone unnoticed. Although emotionally active the book also hides alot of symbolism and metaphors that are only noticed if truly given deep though and making connections making the book that much more intellectually challenging and the more you go over it the more symbolism you notice as if never ending making the book that much more interesting every time you read it
