    Summer, 1968. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy are dead. The assassination conspiracies have begun to unravel. A dirty-tricks squad is getting ready to deploy at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. Black militants are warring in southside L.A. The Feds are concocting draconian countermeasures. And fate has placed three men at the vortex of History.

    Story

    I had a hard time following the storyline. The charactors were all over the place. I wanted it to end almost from the beginning.

    Story

    At once naturalistic epic, captivity narrative, road novel, and transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s, The Grapes of Wrath is perhaps the most American of American classics. Although it follows the movement of thousands of men and women and the transformation of an entire nation during the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s, The Grapes of Wrath is also the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, who are forced to travel west to the promised land of California.

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to The Grapes of Wrath the most enjoyable?

    I was most impressed with the way the charactors in this story seemed so true to life. The charactors were an inspiration in how they dealt with the misery and unfairness that they endured.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    My favorite charactor was the mother. She was a never ending source of strength to the rest of the family.


    Any additional comments?

    This story has alot in common with what is happening in America today, Many times while reading this I became angry at the present state of our union and the extreme differences between the have and have nots.
