Sean O'Halloran- Grapes of Wrath

I chose the book The Grapes of Wrath because it's an American classic and I am interested in the conditions our ancestors were forced to live in. It is sad how the Joad family had to quickly uproot themselves and be forced to migrate West and try and survive the best they can. It makes me wonder how many other families actually had to struggle with similar life threatening conditions in this time period. I am not much of a reader, so I am struggling with the syntax of this book, but what I have understood is giving me some good insight into a day in the life of the great depression era.
