After a busy summer of reading and then transitioning to the new school year, I unfortunately have not had much time for reading. Nonetheless, I have started The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, a 1939 classic that takes the reader on the journey of the Joad family as they leave the dusty plains of Oklahoma during the Great Depression and head west. They, along with thousands of other displaced families, journey to California in search of jobs they believe will be waiting for them upon arrival. Their travels along Route 66 are met with more challenges than they expected, and they are ill-prepared for most of them. However, they continue onward. I find the book compelling, not only from a historical perspective but also for Steinbeck’s detailed writing style, as he vividly outlines the challenges and resilience of these Americans.
