The novel that we are beginning is "The Grapes Of Wrath". The book takes place during the Great Depression. A Family is going through the depression and the hardships of living through it. The Families head and also the main character is a man named Tom Joad.
The Author of this novel used this phrase from the hymn "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic",
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on
A review about this book is that,"I can't remember the last time I was moved so profoundly by a work of fiction. I finished the book two weeks ago and have not been able to stop talking or thinking about it. Read this book. It will truly change the way you view the world."
