Grapes of Wrath Summary Two

Okay so this is the second part (and last part since we are only allowed two summary blogs per book) of my Grapes of Wrath summary. The book The Grapes of Wrath was written by John Steinbeck. This book to me was extremely long and boring. There was way too much unnecessary information included in this book. It was way to long and boring. Terrible.

anyway....

I left off when the Joads ditched the Wilsons near the California border. The Joads are traveling along route 66. It is starting to get really boring for all of them. Soon they hear about the depleted jobs that are not in California. They hear about how many extra people there are for jobs. The number was like 2,000 or maybe 20,000 people show up for every 800 jobs. But the Joads are dumb and carry onwards towards the no job city Hooverville. The Joads get to their destination, and what a suprise, there is no jobs for them there. Tom, Casy, and some cops get into a fight and Casy gets arrested. Soon, stuff lightens up and the Joads make friends and somehow Tom lands a job. It is not enough however and the money Tom makes leaves them hungry yet. Then Tom finds Casy again. They talk, then a cop comes into the tent and realizes that Casy is the one that has been organizing the people. The cops attacks Casy and Tom kills him. Tom then goes into hiding. Tom's pregnant sister has a stillbaby and then sends it down a river in a box. Soon it starts to rain, then it floods. The Joads take shelter in a barn where a young man and his father are. The father has been worrying too much about his son that he has been slowly starving. Rose of SHaron realizes she has nothing to do with her milk so she nurses the starving man. The end.

Now in the midst of that there is a bunch of random scenes, people, and a turtle.
