Week of September 21-28Entry #2

This week, the independent reading was done in class because we had to do the oral presentations on our Things Fall Apart scrapbooks. Since the class wasn't so silent due to other kids being nervous, I couldn't read a lot. Yet, I read about 30 pages despite the bad conditions.
From this part of the book, the story starts to flow. Chapter 7 is somewhat different from the precedent part of the story. This talks about how a salesmen could cheat tenant farmers. If a car seller changes the car's important parts into older and cheaper components, the salesmen could make more profit because the farmers don't know well about cars.
Chapter 8 starts to talk about Tom and Casy going to uncle John's house. Tom talks about Unlce John to Casy. Later, they arrive to the farm of Uncle John, but they found out that the place has been abandoned.
Chapter 9, the next chapter relates to chapter 6 again. It talks about the tenant farmers preparing to move to California. The interesting part of this chapter is the people who help the farmers move are ripping them off and the author is taking the perspective of a typical tenant farmer who is disappointed about moving to California.
