BOOK REVIEW: THE PEARL by John Steinbeck
by
Lynai Lamason
John Steinbeck (1902-1968) is one of America's greatest writers and is a Nobel Prize winner for Literature in 1962. I must confess, though, that this is the first time I read a book by him, all thanks to Jzhun who kept on raving about how wonderful a writer John Steinbeck is. I bought my copy of this book for only Php17.00 from Booksale, but certainly this book is worth a thousand more than its price.

The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck - A Book Review
by
Michael Cooper
The Grapes of Wrath combines Steinbeck adoration of the land, his simple hatred of corruption resulting from materialism (money) and his abiding faith in the common people to overcome the hostile environment. The novel opens with a retaining picture of nature on rampage. The novel shows the men and women that are unbroken by nature. The theme is one of man verses a hostile environment. His body destroyed but his spirit is not broken.

Steinbeck's Cannery Row
by
Janette Griffiths
Cannery Row, in Monterey, California lies between Castroville and Carmel. Castroville, the "artichoke capital of the world" once crowned a young Marilyn Monroe "the first California Artichoke Queen," in 1947. Carmel once had Clint Eastwood as mayor. Back in the 1930s, where John Steinbeck set his novel of the same name, Cannery Row once had sardines - millions and millions of them swirling around just offshore waiting for the Chinese and the Sicilian and the Portuguese immigrants to fish them out of the Pacific.

Cathy Trask: A Representation of Satan in the Book "East of Eden"
by
Maria Cristina Gornez
"If you can believe in saints, you can believe that somebody can be all good, you've got to believe that somebody can be all bad." - John Steinbeck As I read the book "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck, I admit that at first, I felt that I am just being obligated because I need it for my term paper. But as soon as I start reading the book it seems that I am reading a modern version of the "Book of Genesis." Curiosity arouses, when the characters unfolds the mystery of their identity especially when I encounter the character of Cathy Ames later known as Cathy Trask, the character that leaves an impression, the character whom Steinbeck represents as Satan in the story.
