Book Reviews of The Grapes of Wrath (Centennial Edition)
Book Review: "It's a Sad Story"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Bobby, I'm tellin' ya, if'n ya read'at book it'll only make ya mad," Pa said, one eyebrow raised higher than the other.
"But, Pa, it's 'bout us and our fambly, ain't it?" Bobby asked, rubbing his ear.
"It ain't 'bout our fambly in name, but it is 'bout people from Oklahoma, people like us. But they's things in'at book shouldn't nobody read 'bout. Made your uncle Dale madder'n hell when he saw the movie."
"Why'd he get so mad?"
"'Cause, he took it personal. It's a sad story 'bout people hopin' for somethin' they don't have, and how they suffer starvation and destitution whilst lookin' to find it, and the very people who could'a helped'em out, beat'em and burned'em outa their tents. Some of'em even got killed."
"You mean like when Granpa and Granma moved out to Salinas from Tulsa?" Bobby had heard his folks talk about his grandparents when they thought he was asleep.
Pa sat quietly, thinking about how his parents had disappeared that cold winter in Salinas when he had been orphaned. The microwave dinged, telling him his coffee was hot, and it jogged his mind back to the conversation. "I wish't you wouldn't read it 'cause it sheds a bad light on us Okies."
"Pa, how'll I ever know 'bout this stuff if I don't read 'bout it?"
Pa watched Bobby walk out into the yard and sit against the bottom of the old madrona. The sun was setting low on the Pacific and the red-orange light shown across his face while light bouncing off the opened book in his lap shown across his eyes.
