This book is about a dust bowl migrant from Oklahoma. He is moving to California because of the Dust Bowl. Him and his family are moving there to grow good crops and to survive the Dust Bowl. California is a terrible place for people from Oklahoma. People in California call people that come from Oklahoma "Oakies."
The main character is in conflict with the people in California and nature.
He was in conflict with nature because of the dust storms. The dust storms brought down his roof, and are destroying the town. The dust storms are destroying the town by flooding the town with dust, and by killing animals. He was also in conflict with people in California because they are treating him really badly. The people in California are doing things like pointing guns at his fathers chest. His father ended up going to jail because he punched a guys who was yelling at his daughter.
I related to this character by the fact that he tries to be as nice as he can, and to be humble. This is how I relate to the character, and to what I try to be.
RATING: *****
