Even still the Joads are sad
And the Californians are still mad
And it will always be this way
Unless perhaps, perhaps one day
They get a job with decent pay
Then they won't have to run away
They'll buy a house with a nice lawn
Then no more will this go on
There is one thing from which this stems:
People only trust those with as much as them.

      Final Thoughts: The rhyme scheme on this page is completely fucked, but that's OK. Part of the assignment was to read my book to the class and I was able to make it rhyme by drawing out syllables and stressing certain words over others. No one really cared anyway because they were fairly impressed that I had actually managed to turn The Grapes of Wrath into a rhyming children's book. See, the assignment was just to adapt it into a children's book; it didn't actually *have* to rhyme. Oh, if you ever want to impress people and pretend you've read The Grapes of Wrath, here are a few key facts that were omitted from my version:

1. The Joads' dog dies.
2. Grampa Joad dies.
3. Granma Joad dies.
4. There's this guy, Jim Casy. He dies.
5. A cop dies because Tom Joad kills him.
6. Yet another Joad, Rose of Sharon, is pregnant. Her child is stillborn.
7. Jesus emerges from his underwater fortress and gives all the Okies enough fish and bread to eat forever. Everyone lives happily ever after.
8. The book's title refers to fruit that landowners let rot on the vine in order to keep prices up. Meanwhile, migrant workers were starving to death.
9. The novel is set in the 1930s.

      That's it. With the information that I've provided, you could easily write a high school caliber book report on Steinbeck's novel and ace it like a motherfucker. So if you or anyone you know needs to write a report on The Grapes of Wrath in a hurry, use my book as a guide. I guarantee you'll get a grade. Be sure to let me know how things turn out. I'll be waiting.
