    The very best.
worst feeling in the world, is it not?
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Your paper:  So, the Jodes were farmers in OK and they got kicked the F off their leased ground.  They decided to travel to CA because they could get jobs there.  They pilled in an old beater and finally got there after tons of stuff they had to overcome.  Come to find out, CA sucks balls just like OK.  Anyway, moral of the story is that it sucks to not have money but you can make it work if you stick together (except for the Jodes that bailed).  The End.

AP Prep we aren't doing a book report summary that'd be easy the prompt is: Discuss the gender roles of the women in the Joad family and how it is un-common from the traits most women of the time are given.

great book and the answer to her question is that the Joad women are the glue that binds the family together in an environment where supposedly only the strongest men can survive

Just talk about how the daughter breast feeds the random poor d00d and it's like lionesses in the pride or whatever.

Enough time?

Ultimately their leadership roles when helping to preserve the family were illusory and that they were always sacrificing for the benefit of others.  This comes to a climactic point at the end of the book when the daughter feeds the starving Okie weirdos with her breast milk.  I'd say that pretty much reduces her to a commodity.

ask if you can use a visual aid to illustrate your 3rd point to the class.  I hope your teacher has huge BOOBS.   :hope:

Great book.  The gut wrenching part for me was the fact they destroyed food to push up prices and there were hundreds of thousands starving.  What a &@#%ing mess. 

Also a great example of how gullible and retarded Okies are.  LMFAO.

I know its too late now, but you could have made your essay have a lot more 'impact' if would have embedded tupac's 'keep ya head up' video at the end.

its the same message and shows you are able to reinterpret classics in todays culture

probably would have earned you a A for the rest of the semester
