Reading Log 4 Setting ?Crooks, the Negro stable buck, had his bunk in the harness room; a little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn. On one side of the little room there was a square four-paned window, and on the other, a narrow plank door leading into the barn. Crooks? bunk was a long box filled with straw, on which his blankets were flung. On the wall by the window there were pegs on which hung broken harness in process of being mended... Crooks could leave his things about, and being a stable buck and a cripple, he was more permanent than the other men, and he had accumulated more possessions than he could carry on his back.? (Steinbeck 66-67)

Reading Log 3 Setting ?Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows of the bunk house, inside it was dusk. Through the open door came the thuds and occasional clangs of a horseshoe game, and now and then the sound of voices raised in approval or derision... Slim sat down on a box and George took his place opposite.? (Steinbeck 38)

Reading Log 2 Setting ?The bunkhouse was a long rectangular building. Inside, the walls were whitewashed and floor inpainted. In the three walls there were small, square windows, and in the forth, a solid door with a wooden latch. Against the walls were eight binks, five of them made up with blankets and the other three showing their burlap ticking. Over each bunk there was... a big square table littered with playing cards, and around it were grouped boxes for the players to sit on.? (Steinbeck 17)

Reading Log 1 Setting ?A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees? willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter?s flooding; ... and with the split-wedge tracks of the deer to drink in the dark.? (Steinbeck 1)

Langston Hughes was an African-American man that believed in freedom and non-racism. He was a poet and a very inspirational one at that. He was a very persistent person that would not stop writing even when he was sent to jail because of his race. He was born in Joplin, Missouri, on February 1, 1902, and died in 1967 in New York. Langston Hughes was influenced by three major things which are his family, the time period, and the places he lived.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail is an exciting, poignant, accessible, and intellectually engrossing play in two acts, with several shifting and interpolated scenes from the real and imagined life of Henry David Thoreau (1817-62), the great nineteenth- century American author and poet-philosopher. The play is a dramatic representation of a vital moment in our history, in which the 29-year-old Thoreau?s ardent refusal to pay taxes?in protest to the United States government?s involvement in the Mexican War?landed him in prison in his home of Concord, Massachusetts. This famous act of civil disobedience?daring and unprecedented though it was? is merely the point of departure for Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee?s widely
