Readings

Posted on July 18, 2008 by jibjib

The other day I finished reading The Grapes of Wrath. It was my first time reading it, and probably my last. It was a good read but I did have some issues with it. From a literary perspective I thought he relied on dialogue a little too much in progressing the story, especially with Ma’s [...]
