Ilustration Toward Books The Valley of the Moon

Here now is my Sock Puppet Theater script for this book:

Saxon: Hello.
Billy: Hello. I enjoy talking about my ancestors, and how white they were, and what good stock they were, and how much they suffered.
Saxon: I enjoy talking about how they came here before these other dirty immigrants, and are therefore way more awesome. Also how my form and figure reflect the old stock.
Billy: We should get married, and talk about this all the time.
Saxon: Yay!
Saxon's Sister: BITCH YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE PAIR OF SHOES GIVE ME SHOES I DESERVE SHOES YOUR BROTHER IS A WORTHLESS SHOE PROVIDER. *faints*
Billy: I will now give you uncomfortable compliments about the way your teeth glisten.
Saxon: You're so manly and romantic!
Billy: Uh oh. There's a strike coming.
Saxon: I'll get a job!
Billy: Never! I would rather take in boarders and borrow money and see my wife wander the town trying to capture stray seafood than bear the shame of my woman working!
*Billy beats some scabs*
*Some scabs beat Billy*
*Saxon miscarries*
*All their friends die and/or become prostitutes*
Saxon: Let's leave the city and go camping forever.
Billy: Yay!
*intermission to sing quite delightful songs about abalone*
Saxon: I'm glad we're not in the city any more. It isn't crowded, yet we have visited about 45 people.
Billy: Slangedy slang racism slang.
*They talk for an hour about sustainable agriculture*
Billy: Look! A farm we can farm!
Saxon: I will hire some convicts, which freaks me out even though my husband has been to jail too.
Billy: We've saved America from efficient immigrants! High five!
Saxon: You're the best. Like our ancestors. Except the part where they wrecked the farmland.

The End


Seriously, just read the songs about abalone. They're pretty funny. The rest I have given you here.

Criticism About Books The Valley of the Moon

So many people associate Jack London with Call of the Wild, The Sea Wolf, White Fang, and of course the short story To Build a Fire. Most do not realize that he wrote some 50 books and hundreds of short stories and essays. The Valley of the Moon was written in 1913, three years before he died at the age of 40. The first part of the book takes place in Oakland during troubled economic times and labor strikes playing havoc on many peoples lives. Billy and Saxon are the main characters who are

Jack London is one of my favorite authors, and this is his only book that I just did not like at all. It's sort of set up as a novelized agrarian treatise, but it's also rather contrived, trite, and dull. Big disappointment.

Ooh, Mr. Jack London. This book, "the Valley of The Moon. You have done it. Rarely, one might find a monumental book, but this book is majestic. It should be in every American Literature class in every school. Billy, " one of those rare individuals that radiate muscular grace through the ungraceful non garments of civilization, " and Saxon, pragmatic , wise, demure, and beautiful. Of pioneer stock, both their families having driven across the country with ox team, both working in Oakland, she

I love much of Jack London simply because of who he is and the energy he infused into his characters. Hes definitely a man who I would invite to dinner if I could.

I bought the book on a camping trip to see Jack London's home in Sonoma county. I'm just reading it now, and am about halfway through. I'm impressed with how well London writes from a female perspective, though there is a certain lack of depth. That said, it is fascinating to read a book set in Oakland in the early 1900s, reading about familiar places and streets is great for the imagination. Jack London's opinion of the world comes through clearly in each character, and you can recognize his

Wow how had I waited so long to read this? What a wonderful story. Their life in Carmel and descriptions of Monterey and really all of Northern California were amazing. Read this.
