Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I guess that Grapes of Wrath passage is based on this.

Maybe, but that's what the whole book is about. Very much recommend it.

edit: I recently saw a tweet or something that was like, "The state tells us we have to read The Grapes of Wraith at 13 and then gets mad when we understand it at 26."
