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.
