Is education the key to success? Many may think it is, but others may differ. I the book A Painted House, John Grisham gives’ a primary example of how educated are more successful then those uneducated. In the novel A Painted House, there was not a big focus on education at all. The history of the Chandler family was their men spent more time in war then in school, and the women spent more time doing chores and farm work then in the classroom. I believe this is why they had a hard time living or becoming successful. I don’t think the Chandler family would have survived without education in today’s society. The Chandlers were a nice family. Luke was the narrator of the story and he lived with is parents and grandparents on a farm in the 1950’s. Mexicans also stayed on the farm with them in the barn.

In opinion education was not a big focus at all in the story A Painted House. The Chandler family focused primarily on many other things. They focused more on things like their farm and wars then getting an education. Luke’s grandfather was in WW1 and his father was in WW2. His uncle Ricky was in the Korean War during the time of this story. I don’t think they would have survived in today’s so
