It actually is a very interesting book; have you read past the first five chapters?
The way the book is structured might be what's boring you, but after you get into it it's not boring at all.


The basic plot is about the Joad family, which travels to California in search of work. Along the way they lose some family members, who either die or leave the family.
When they arrive in California they have great trouble finding places to stay, let alone getting a job.
They eventually do find places to stay/get jobs, but they end up having to move to a different place due to Tom Joad's (the main character) imperativeness.

I really suggest that you try reading it.
If you can't stand the book, you might want to check out sparknotes.com or cliff's notes.

Good luck with your assignment

Hello Great Depression. Let's go to California for work. No Okies here! COMMUNISM! (okay not that much of it but there's a bit.) You did say quick. btw it's a lot better than my summary.

To give you the gist, it is about how life was for millions of people during the Great Depression of the 1930s. They lost their jobs, their homes, and everything you and I take for granted.

My father was a child during that period and it affected him throughout his entire life. Few people who lived during that time, was able to escape that period unscathed.

Let's hope this society never has to live through that again.

Even if you may not have been assigned that task it would be really good for those who are too young to even know about it to read more about it, watch movies about it

Here is one:
