20 Chapters Dizzizzle

A while back, earlier this month, I started to read this book called The Grapes of Wrath. Now, about twelve days later I am deep into its plot and story. With twenty of the first thirty chapters finished, I am now able to understand fully what has been, and what is happening on this great and brutal book.

I am sure the Joads are beginning to think, "Why in the hell did we start this trip to California?" So far they have lost three of their family members and they are not even to their destination yet. They are constantly being told how terrible of a place California is, and not to go there because there are no jobs, no food, no fare wages, and no way to survive. I know that is exactly what I would be thinking at this point.

I really liked that Knowles fellow. He was quite the character. I think that he has been my favorite character in this book, even though I have not known him for very long. It was cool how he pretended like he was an idiot just so the police do not find him threatening. I really want to know if Floyd has done anything bad in the past that would make him have to act unthreatening. Maybe he looks scary or something. I just do not know. But hey, that is life! You think you know everything when you really know very little.

I hate how the American squatters basically run the show in California. They seem like they are all very selfish and do not deserve to run the show like my friend the Admiral. These people come from thousands miles away and all these squatters do is give them wages that are not even high enough to live off of. Then they have all this extra cash laying around that they have nothing better to do with than wipe their butt. I mean they all have huge fences, tons of land, and people to work for them. IT IS JUST PLAIN SELFISH!
