Can someone please tell me the description of the bunkhouse at the beginning of Chapter 2?I'm supposed to draw a picture for my English class and I...

Hi Idek,

The bunkhouse
describes the squalid living conditions migrant workers faced during the Great Depression, the
era the book is based in. Here are some of the features
inside:

1. It's a long, rectangular building; three of its
   walls have windows, and one has just a door.


2. The walls are
   whitewashed, and the floor is unpainted.


3. There are 8 bunks
   inside.


4. An apple box is nailed above each bed; the opening of the
   box faces forward, so that the top and bottom act as shelves for the men's personal
   possessions 


5. There is a table in the middle of the room, with
   boxes as chairs.


6. There's a black cast-iron stove near one wall -
   it's flue (pipe) goes up through the roof.

If you want
to get a great grade, here are some extra details:

1. Of the
   8 bunks, 5 are made up with blankets, the other three with just burlap ticking on
   them.


2. In the apple box above George's bunk, there is a can of
   powder to get rid of bugs - presumably because the bunkhouse harbors fleas and/or lice - although
   Candy (the "swamper" who cleans the bunkhouse) denies this.


3. There
   are playing cards scattered all over the table.

Good
luck with your drawing!
