HAS ANYONE READ THE BOOK CALLED THE GRAPES OF WRATH IT WAS IN THE EPISODE CALLED TEACHERS PET. WHAT IS IT ABOUT.

------------------
B.TELL IT TO THE FROG.
GO ON TELL IT TO HIS FACE. YOU CAN'T CAN YOU? YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A FACE.

One of my favorite books. I read it in high school and last year in a history class. It's set during the Great Depression and begins in Oklahoma. The story follows the Joad family, known as "Okies", out to California (the Promised Land) in search of farm work. When the Joads finally make it to California they find there's not enough jobs and live in awful conditions trying to find work. Everytime they get a little bit of happiness, it's destroyed. The movie won a lot of academy awards, but it leaves off the last 200 pages because they were too taboo for 1939. So, do not try watching the movie if you can't make it through the book. It's over 600 pages long and is well worth it, but don't leave the last 300 pages up to the last weekend because you won't do anything else that weekend (Bad, really bad, mistake)!

The Grapes of Wrath is one of my favorite books. Don't get discouraged by its length, because once you start reading it, you'll get really into it ! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

yet another banned book.....

Hats off to all of you who have become interested in banned books mentioned in this show.

I am reading it rite now! It is an awesome book! I'm really not that far into it yet, but it's great so far! There are only 502 pages in the book I'm reading! Maybe the words are bigger or something!

(After the fake motorcycle accident)
Jo:My head hurtz a lil
Nat: A Concusion!!!!!!
Jo's dad:The doctor examined her head and found nothing!
Blair:Not even a lil bit of straw!

I'm reading Brave New World right now, which was also mentioned in FOL. So far it is really good, it is kind of weird, but futuristic. It reminds me of the book 1984.
