Cannery row In over thirty years of writing, from the late 1920s to the 1960s, Steinbeck has given ample indication that he is not the naive proletarian he has at times been called.

Message In A Bottle I think the author was rather successful in creating a good piece of literature. He told a tale of two broken hearts who came together by a twist of fate and chance to share a love that everyone dreams about. It didn‘t have a happy ending for it ended with another broken heart. He used words to illustrate vivid pictures creating images that will last forever and a day

Literature There are many pieces of literature that are different from one another yet, each contains some of the same language and qualities.

East Of Eden The central point that I’ve seen so far in East of Eden is that it dramatizes the continuous conflict between good and evil within individuals and in society as a whole.
