Henry Seidel Canby, said that the small book had "every element of good story-telling," and noted that the "subject matter is deeply felt, richly conceived, and perfectly ordered." ]]> 2016-10-23 18:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132557993 laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558469 2016-10-23 18:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558469 laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558867 2016-10-23 18:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558867 laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558880 2016-10-23 18:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558880 laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558886 2016-10-23 18:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132558886 Books like Of Mice and Men laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559136 2016-10-23 18:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559136 "They had walked in single file down the path, and even in the open one stayed behind the other. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in denim coats with brass buttons. Both wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blanket rolls slung over their shoulders."  laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559304 John Steinbeck creates the feeling of the order and structure of the soldiers in war. The look exactly the same, but each our very different from each other. John Steinbeck reminds me that even if we all look alike each one of us is different and not to judge someone just by what they look like.]]> 2016-10-23 18:55:04 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559304 "Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place....With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us."  laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559793 This quote reminds me of the stereotypes made in the world. John Steinbeck shows that some people that work in certain places never have a chance to make it in the world. John Steinbeck shows that if you want it that badly than you can achieve what you want, and if people are there to support you then you can make it. ]]> 2016-10-23 19:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132559793 Active link to video laurenm_lulu07 https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132700700 https://youtu.be/DCM-sEpyh1Q]]> 2016-10-24 14:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/laurenm_lulu07/s8cxt7ub2jdk/wish/132700700
