Irrelevant.

Far from it

m-mods!!!!

steinbeck's art is crafting operatic worlds with multiple narratives, culminating in a powerful cathartic scene.



grapes of wrath is an example of that. east of eden perfects it

Way too long for me

>poor people have it tough

Yeah I got that by page 50

Irrelevant for what

Is a harsh book that's a real event. The language in grapes is a amazing, how Steinbeck can create specific personality's with simply how they speak and you can discern who is talking by a few words is pretty spectacular.

Poverty was eliminated decades ago. And there can’t be anymore economic depressions. Authors bio etc.

I cant understand how little they were bothered when Noah left the family. He just wandered away and nobody gave a fuck.

I have been sitting here thinking hard for if I have ever heard anything more stupid since I started browsing this fucking board 5 years back.

I cannot.

Its good... if you like books about grapes

This was one of my favorites aspects from the book. I was hooked I finished it in two days. Would recommend it to everyone. Kino mystic finale too

I read it ages ago. I remember a lot of dirt broke poor people having to make pragmatic decisions. I remember some family member being forgotten because he was serving a short stint in jail and they left no forwarding address for him. I remember that they bought a shitty truck that had the transmission packed with sawdust to muffle the sound of the grinding gears. I remember nothing else. I assume that they were going to California because that is ground zero for all things Steinbeck.

Oh yeah milky milky baby

Not good. Shoehorned commie sympathizing from steinbeck. I care more about how blatant the politics are rather than the content themselves. I also hate reading books where the dialogue is spelled how its said, it totally ruins the flow of my reading

The nation was majority socialist back then. This wasn’t shoehorning. Capitalism had collapsed and people where joining socialist organizations in droves. We weren’t all dumb 1950s cucks scared of the red menace, you CIA fed grub of person

i'm reading it right now after not reading it when it was assigned in school. it's a slog. i enjoyed every steinbeck book before grapes of wrath so i thought i would like this one too but the "interludes" between the meat of the book are boring for the most part.

people weren't proper socialists like in the sense that they read theory and shit but yeah. some people don't realize that the new deal was a means of pacifying the growing militant labor/socialist movement.

True enough.

much preferred The Bananas of Greed

for me, it the cantaloupes of lust :^)

peppers of pride

Newfag.

wait till ai/automation wipes out 80% of jobs like already projected 

people wont be starving, but the quality of life will drop like a pajeet turd on a dedicated shitting street - it will get really ugly

Boring and didn't see the point of continuing with trying to read it to the end.



The movie was literally better. The book had serious pacing issues.

Kiwis of sloth

Pretty cool band.
