Grapes of Wrath is a very interesting story of looking for a good decent life for their family through a tough past.
I thought it was interesting how you organized your page by time period in the story. I think this because it gives some light on the order of events. In addition to this I thought it was interesting how you still had the archetypes on the bottom of the page. I would like to do this in my writing because my synthesis page wasn't organized too well.
