Don't give up! John Steinbeck is a wonderful writer, and he is very good to learn from.
He doesn't use too much slang (even when characters speak with an accent, he keeps odd spellings to a minimum), and he doesn't really say things differently from a modern American. If you wanted to take on something easier, I'd recommend Of Mice and Men, another one of his books. If you get into American Lit., Steinbeck is one of the greatest in our history, and his prose is very much in modern English style: clean and without eccentric vocabulary. 1 person has voted this message useful |
