well first of all I'm thinking i should change me reading.
The grapes of wrath is slowly getting interesting.
i don't think this book is for me.
some connections if made with this book is that the characters in the story Joad, Muley and Casy have been acting like children, hiding and being trouble makers.
there is also a part in the story talking purely about cars, and selling cars.
our lives today are pretty much about cars as well !
we all want a car that we can drive for those far away places.
from the main characters actions i think in a way it is childish, that they are just hiding around and looking out for the bankers.
I think that their actions are also smart, so that they can take action without getting in trouble for it, or getting kicked out and having no time to let the bankers know their feelings.

oh finally
okay so my book !
"Grapes of Wrath" oh my, the beginning was not for me.
i could not understand it. but now that i am reading more of the book and coming to understand it.
its well written and perhaps exciting.
in the book Joad is visiting his old house where his parents live.
he finds out that they aren't there along with the old pastor, Casy.
His feelings are filled with anger. I think that it was very mature of him not to throw a fuss and a tantrum.
I think some connections i have the main character is that i can get mad easily, but can control myself to not be aggressive.
I like how the main character is so welcoming when it comes to friends, when he sees them he greets them and spends time with them.
I also like this other character who is so persistent is staying at his home even though the banks tried kicking him out already.
the character stays firm and in control of his thoughts.
I like how the story continued on with the story line instead of going to a one page description of what could be a literary device such as imagery and symbol.
Then that one page description applys with the story line, making it very difficult to read, because i do not know when the story line is in the mode.

thanks acadeca !
okay so the book i am reading for my 5th indie reading journal book is "The Grapes Of Wrath."
This book i have read so far connects to one thing in particular that i have in mind, that is from a friend of mine. In the book, the men talk to the Banks, who are the people making them leave their house, because the property belongs to them now. How the men react is with the intention to protect their house to matter what. How this connects with a dear friend of mine is because whenever she is stuck in a situation, whether it would be depressing, or aggravating she will try her hardest to maintain her perfect place in mind. They both have different ideas of what they want to save but still have the same concept. The concept I think they both have is having the actions to protect what you love. A text this book connects to is Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book connects with Grapes of Wrath because they both have something precious to them that they are willing to protect or save. For the book prom it would be the prom of course, but for Grapes of Wrath it would me the houses, they live in. Some main differences i find in my opinion is that losing your house is way more heart-breaking than losing your high school prom. The transition of the time spent with their precious objects or places are different in Grapes of Wrath he has had the home for many of years, past down from his family.
