Week of October 13-19 Entry #6

This week, I have read chapters 21~24. These chapters talk about how more big landowners push out small landowners and how the small tenant farmers live. Many aspects of farmers' lives are shown such as the Weedpatch camp and being baptized by preachers.
Now, I am starting to get a little bored to this book. The story just seems to be endless. The farmers just moved to avoid misery but it didn't end. They are just living hard lives. They drink alcohol, sing, get preached, look for jobs, but they fail. That's all they do and the mood of the story never seems to fluctuate a lot, which makes the book feel like watching everyday-life of a machine. Yet, the story seems to proceed little by little, which is at least a little relieving. However, I wish I could see some more progress to the depressing mood in the next chapters.
