The Turtleeeeeeeeeeeee

The story “The Turtle” is a chapter from the famous book Grapes of Wrath, written by John Steinbeck. In the short chapter, Steinbeck describes the hardships a turtle had to go through in a short period of time. He wrote about how it stumbled across the busy and dangerous road, and how it crawled through the tall rough grass. The comparison Steinbeck tries to make here is using the turtle as something to symbolize how people went from place to place to find work during the great depression. Throughout the whole entire chapter, there were many concrete and strong descriptions of the turtle, as well as the atmosphere around the turtle. The one I enjoyed the most was introduction to the second paragraph. The introduction to the second paragraph was very solid and unique. It talked about the area the turtle started in. Steinbeck used many yet so simple words to make a fairly interesting and portraying picture. In conclusion, I like Steinbeck’s literature pieces and would like to read more.
