A letter to the Sooner State:
Dear Oklahoma,
I grew up here. And although I got locked up here, you hold many memories. My life story so far revolves around you, but sadly that is going to change. Soon I am going to be on my way to California and I will have to leave you. I am sad that we will be separated, but leaving you is bringing me closer to my family. You're great, but I love them more than I love your warm dry dust against my feet. My house has already been destroyed, and my family is already packed and ready. My childhood is coming with me, my parents, my siblings, my grandparents, and even my preacher. I will no longer be with you, but my memories here will be forever. Stay dry!
Love,
Tom Joad
