Question: Need help with the Grapes Of Wrath!?
Okay so I had to read Grapes of Wrath for summer reading this year, and for part of the assignment, we need to write 1/2 page summaries for 1!. chapters 1-11 2!. chapters 12-20 and 3!. chapters 21-30!.
I know what i'll write for the first summary, but i need help with the other 2!. What would you put in each of them!?
I think i'm having trouble because I don't understand the whole story line with all of the different places they went!. How many different places in California did the Joads work at, and how did they get the information to go there!? I was a little confused with what was the government camp and which one was the boxcar place and which one was hoover something!?

It's been a while since I read it!.!.!. They worked at a peach orchard (i think) upon arriving!.!.!. Then they worked picking cotton!.!.!. I forget where they worked while at the government camp!. They got the info from both people from companies looking for workers (usually by handing out pamphlets) and other people in the same situation as the Joads!.
The government camp was just that!. A camp set up by the government to help with the plight of people like the joads!. They provided water, entertainment, living spaces, and food for those who really needed it!. The "boxcar place" was the hooverville!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
