semester TWO, Blog #10

Do you believe that the Grapes of Wrath successfully establishes sympathy for the plight of Dust Bowl farmers? Why or why not?

Please post your response by 11:59:59pm on 3/4/10.

I believe that it might for the right person. I personally do not feel any sort of sympathy or emotion towards this book or characters in this book, whether fictitious or not. I take the events in the book into account, based on the fact that we are in a similar boat with our nation as of now, but that is it. I do not feel sympathy for the Dust Bowl farmers. Call me impassionate, or whatever you please, but I just don't care.
