Another important event in his life was when he decided to buy the greenhouse to make it into a market to sell food.

  • Wealth In John Steinbeck's Cannery Row

    1482 Words  | 6 Pages

    From earliest childhood, most parents explain concepts such as the impact of decisions, and that money can’t buy happiness; concepts which can help a young person begin to understand life. Still, many underestimate the impact that one seemingly small decision can make in changing the course of a person’s life. John Steinbeck, in his book Cannery Row, shows how such small desires can rob a person of control over his life, forcing him into an endless yet never gratifying cycle. The “trap” Steinbeck refers to is the self-destructive cycle of belief that if one only achieves certain goals such as a good job, having a family or living in a nice house, he will find true happiness and satisfaction. Mack and the boys are the focus of Cannery

  • The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind

    609 Words  | 3 Pages

    This book really gives you a good viewpoint on the everyday life of a poor farmer and their many struggles. I would give this book four out of five stars because it is very interesting and makes you feel up until the last few chapters, which are happy but unexciting. For example, towards the middle of the book, one of William’s best friends is starving and is swelling from lack of protein and when he finally gets food it’s satisfying and happy for the reader, too. In the end the story swings to his travels and belated education and leaves out my favorite characters from William’s village. This big swing makes you feel like you’re reading something else and there’s no story to it.
