Blog response ?'s and answers

1. How did you experience the book? It's not always helpful to talk about whether or not you liked the book, but rather how you felt as you were reading it? Were you pulled effortlessly into the book...or did you have difficulty getting into it? Why?
I liked the book. One of the things that it taught me not to judge someone for their appearance. I felt that I learned a lot more about John Steinbeck than the man who just wrote great books. I was pulled in effortlessly because I felt I could relate to his story and I liked him and the people he met. Some of the words and phrases he used were hard to understand but I really liked the story.

2. Were you happy about your book choice? Why or why not?
Yes I was happy with my book choice because Steinbeck is a great author and writer and I learned a lot  about how he lived his life.


3. Which place discussed in the book did you find the most intriguing? Why do you think that was the case?
The part that was the most intriguing was when he was talking about seeing the Northern Lights and how it lifted his spirits. I think it was because of the colors and how they were aligned in the sky. It almost seemed magical.


4. What central ideas might the author be exploring-the novel's themes? Consider ideas about the nature of love, the requirements of goodness, the meaning of justice, the burden of the past...basic human issues that are at stake in the book.

The central idea of this book seems to be that the country is different than he has experienced before.
