In your journal, write about 3 sentences about the painting American Gothic done by Grant Wood. What is the story behind this painting? Who are these people? What are they doing? Don’t read the poem yet, just look at the picture. After you have written these thoughts down, research the painting itself using both print and trusted online sources. What did you find? How was what you found similar to your predictions, and how was it different? Write about these comparisons in your journal, with one paragraph dedicated to similarities and one paragraph related to differences.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.
