Dear Mrs. Zrihen
I am currently in the beginning of the book titled “Travels with Charlie In search of America ” by John Steinbeck . The genre of this book is nonfiction. The quote that I like the most was “When the virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward man and the road away from here seems broad and straight and sweet.” I like this quote because it show that John Steinbeck ,who was nearing the end of his writing career was not going to stop him from venturing America before he dies .
The strategies I used before reading the book were reading the synopsis that got me hooked in already so after that I looked up reviews from different people and in the back of the book there are 2 reviews from the Boston Herald and the Chicago Tribune. Then I checked for any literary elements that I can spot out after reading the first 30 pages. The protagonist are the narrator ,who is the actual author and his dog Charley, a French poodle who he takes along with on the trip to travel all of America. The setting of the book is all around America but begins in his home in Sag Harbor Long Island, New York . The theme of this book is a Realistic Fiction. The weather condition is all over the place because he goes All over America. The mood is determined and happy and also successful. I have not yet found the social conditions but I am pretty sure he talks to somebody there.
The plot is that A man and his dog go to travel across all of America because he wants to do this before he dies. He travels in a trailer car named Rocinante after Don Quixote’s horse. Don Quixote was a written by Miguel de Cervantes. Some consider it the best book ever written. John Steinbeck agreed with that statement and that is why he called it that.
