John Steinbeck's The Red ***** represents one of the author's best works as some critics believe. The book unlike standard chapters is divided into four different sections that are held together by general characters, setting, and themes followed ***** a simil*****r time line (Jackson, 1990). However, the prolongation of story line is not as smooth ***** the transition between normal chapters of a novel.

Each of the four s*****ries centers on Jody; all parts showing him together in a crucial time of his childhood. In the first story, ***** leading character, Jody is ten years old.

He did ***** look into ***** characters internal lives ***** instead aimed to depict life through their external words and ***** (Jackson, 1990). This combination of simple prose style on representing only what could be seen or heard ***** felt is a quality of the real*****m movement, of ***** the author is one of the leading stylists among all (Jackson, 1990).

The central theme of the book is *****'s coming-*****-age with his transforming relationship with his father. At the beginning of ***** book, a reader notices Carl Tiflin- father ***** Jody, as a ***** who keeps his emotions concealed and whenever he speaks something kind ***** ***** it brought excitement in the boy (Cherry, 1998).This showed that such praises given by this ***** is exceptional. Jody sees his father
