كتاب The Red Pony PDF John Steinbeck : 1992م - 1443هـ The Red Pony John Steinbeck is one of the greatest storytellers of the twentieth century. His wonderful novellas The Red Pony, Cannery Row, Of Mice and Men, and The Pearl not only introduce readers to a fascinating, realistic cast of characters, make the hills and seacoast of California and Mexico come to life, but also tell intriguing stories of the lives of real people. Steinbeck’s characters are not the rich men and women of California’s boom days, but are the homeless, the migrant workers, the poor fishermen, and the farmers. However, each of these people has a deceptively simple, but important story to tell, a story filled with love and pain. The stories tell us not only of the lives of the poor who seek to live off the land, but of the struggles of all people. In many ways, Steinbeck’s The Red Pony is the most accessible of his novellas to students. It can be taught at the middle or high school level, with differing emphasis. It is first a coming-of-age story about Jody, the son of a California rancher of limited economic means, who learns that no one is perfect. Secondly, it is a horse story, one of the first and best of the genre, in which Jody discovers the pain of caring for someone too much. Finally, it is a story of place, time, and family— a tale which brings to life, with few descriptive passages, the difficult, meager existence of California ranchers of the 1930s. The beauty and the isolation of the Gabilan mountains, the love of a father for his son, and the working of a family ranch are all important aspects of this carefully crafted tale. .
