[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The Grapes of Wrath. I read it in high school and really liked it. I just reread it again (I'm now in my mid-30s) and got so much more out of it. Parts of it are just hilarious, I was laughing out loud. Other parts made me really stop and think about my grandparents' generation and how much times have changed. When I read that book in high school, reflecting on the Depression and the dust bowl era didn't seem like so far away. [b]But I think about if my kids read that in high school - they will be reading about events that happened 100 years ago.[/b] I just don't know if it will have the same meaning for them. [/quote] It will happen again in their lifetime. The book will be a good advance look.[/quote] PP, are you seer? This rings too true these days. [/quote]
