So I read the book Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. I have to pick three major events/ideas found in the book.

Question

This is what I think:
1. The flu epidemic which hit the town at the most busiest time of year.
2. The violence and suicides due to economic issues such as lack of jobs or homes.
A third event does not really come to mind, any ideas? Are the two events/ideas correct??

Answer 1

I haven't read this book, but try this:

Each section of chapters has a summary part and a commentary part. Read through the commentaries and see if something leaps out at you.

Answer 2

Thank You
