Would you like to live in Steinbeck's Soledad?
According to Stienbeck, Soledad is a place that is in the rural area and still abundant with beautiful nature. There are many large green trees, animals, streams or rivers . This atmosphere remind me when I was in the Vancouver, Canada last 3 years ago. I love this environments. It looks fresh and relaxed when I think of green areas and many green mountains. Moreover, in the rural area like Soledad give me a feeling of slow pacing society and people can do their activities without pressure. I can appreciate with the beautiful natural environment. When I compare it with the complex and rush society like life in Bangkok where I live, it is very diffirent. I rather like life in rural country that I can spend my time doing everything. So when I read Stienbeck book, I feel relax and fresh ,and if I have an opportunity, I would like to go there for a few weeks to enjoy my life,escaping from the busy society. But i don't want to stay long because I don't like the sytle of people in the ranch that seems a little bit strang and not friendly for me.

Thank you Kwan,
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas, and tend to agree with them. I don't what that area of California is like today. I suspect it is very different. Steinbeck's novel is set in the 1930s, which was eighty years ago now.
