First Post

This is my first post for my ISP on The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gatsby. I have recently started reading The Grapes of Wrath and amazed at the language and great words John Steinbeck using. The first chapter was just describing the scenery but gave so much to the story. I could tell that it was a time of despair and loss of family and food. The certain words he uses to show that the dreaded drought that destroyed their fields and crop. I had known about the drought more so in Canada, so it's interesting that this book takes place down south in a different part of the world and experiences the drought. I have read about three chapters now and expect to have ten chapters done by next Tuesday. I decided to read this book first since it is longer and I don't know too much about it unlike The Great Gatsby. When I read this book, it also gives me more ideas of how to structure sentences and use different words to describe certain things. I'm really enjoying it so far!
