Cannary Row Notes

Today I read my third Summer Reading Book called Cannary Row by John Steinbook. This novel is highly recommended because of the style that Steinbeck chose to write this book. He uses long sentences to capture the landscape. The landscape becomes a metaphor for individualism. Like the other books, Cannary row also emphasizes the importance of family in one's life. This family does not need to be blood related. The community in the end ended up treating each other like family. Also like the other books, Cannary row teaches the importance of individualism and hard work.
