grapes of wrath part 3
Chap. 13 describes that when the travel down Route 66, they carefully listen to the engine so that it does not break done. When the Joads get to a gas station, Al argues at the attendant that they dont have any money to pay for gas. While the family rests at the gas station, there dog is hit by a car. They passed Oklahoma City and when they reach the outer limits of the town, they pull over to rest for the night. Over night, grampa dies in a tent and they bury him along side of the road. Chap. 14 talks about the people out west do not know what is going on in the midwest. Chap. 15 talks about a trucker station. A father and his 2 sons come in and ask for a loaf of bread. Mae says no because the bread is 15 cents and the father only has 10. But Al, the cook, tells Mae to lighten up. So she did, gave them a loaf of bread and the boys were staring at the nickel candy, and Mae also gave the boys the candy. Chap. 16 talks about when Rose of Sharon and Connie get to California, they want to move to town and open their own business. Ma Joad said no because she wants the family to stick together. The Wilson's car breaks down so Tom and Casy head to town to find the part for the car. Pa Joad was talking to a man that he says that there is no work in California.

Yippee!! I've finally got you journaling. That's great. Now for the rest of the journaling experience try to analyze issues in the story rather than simply summarize. Also be more detailed in your journaling to prove that you are doing the reading and not simply using sparknotes to write your journal.
