in this chapter 16, i liked how Ma rised her powerful voice and convince the others to stay toghether. it seams that when Ma speaks, she do it for a good reason, and the others admire her.
I'm enjoying reading this book. Watching the video clips today helped me see what the characters are like and how they are portrayed similarly in the book. It was funny watching grandpa in the clip.
@Anna... yes I agree! :) I was surprised at how different my mental pictures of the characters were very different from the director's idea. It was still very helpful to see the clips :) And once again, today's exercise was very good. I never really realized how often I just read through everything and how much I miss out on when I don't analyze or really ponder what I'm reading :) That is one thing that this class has helped me with... analyze my reading :)
The clips really do help i know its an old movie and I'm usually not interested in old movies but this one seems like one that i would enjoy think that i may rent it!
This book is very good, I love the detail and the dialogue is so well done. I wish I could write like Steinbeck. The video was good, I tried watching it earlier on netflix but once I saw that it was in black and white I shut it off. Now after watching the clip in class I want to actually watch it.
The book is good! I find I want to keep reading, and even though I have read it before, I am enjoying to read it all over again.
I truly liked watching the video because it gave us faces to put on the characters but some one the characters were not the way I would of pictured them. The book is getting better and better, don't want it to end.
