East of Eden- The character I most relate to

The character that I have grown to like the msot in East of Eden is Adam. Adam is an honest and kindhearted guy who has been throught alot and deals with alot. Somehow though, he always manages to stay calm no matter what the situation is. He doesn't like to create trouble, he likes to stay behind the scenes. Cyrus likes Adam more than Charles I think because he sees such purity and innocence in him. Adam is the kind of person you aspire to be, to be forgiving and just peaceful. He seems to be the most sane one out of all the characters in the novel.

East of Eden

My first thoughts of East of Eden was that it seemed like an interesting enough book. The book showed the different ways Steinbeck thought about the people and the land. Most people are taught a romanticized version on how how everythign came to be. But in East of Eden Steinbeck seems to tell it like it is. He doesnt try to sugarcoat anything and brings in a new perspective on things. It is seemingly refreshing to read comapred to other books that I have read.
