Miss Gluch In 'The Grapes Of Wrath'

The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.” (1) this quote is significant because it shows the narrator’s point of view on how women deal with things.

Characters mutate more and more as the novel progresses, which makes the character dynamic. The change that a character undergoes works to impact the overall theme of the novel. Over the course of John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, one of the characters, ma Joad has drastically developed. She changes into a more nourishing and optimistic character.

When examining John Steinbeck’s, Grapes of Wrath’” he details the story of the Joads an Oklahoma family on their way to California in the midsts of the Dust Bowl. As he discusses their journey towards the american dream he inserts several intercalary chapters that break up the discussion of the Joads and shifts the focus towards the things that symbolizes them. In the novel there are several intercalary chapters that are used to depict the lies and deceit that occurs to the Joads right under their nose.

Imagery paints a picture in the reader’s head of how a landscape appears, or how a character feels, and Beah’s imagery illustrates the fearful violence of the war. When commentating on the funeral of Saidu, Beah “began to weep quietly. [Beah] let [his] tears drip on the earth and the summer dust absorb them” (Beah 86). During the death of his friend, Beah felt disbelief, but grieving could only ‘absorb the summer dust’. The war broke Beah into feeling numbness in everything, including his own emotion. Beah also presents imagery when his family is close in reach, but assumably dies, exclaiming that he “screamed at the top of [his] lungs and began to cry loudly as [he] could, punching and kicking with all of [his] might into the weak walls that

“I’ll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!” These are the famous words of one of the world’s most iconic villains, the Wicked Witch of the West, the antagonist of the classic film The Wizard of Oz. She appears to be the epitome of villainy: purely evil and selfish. There is no ambiguity in the Witch’s ruthless evil. Within the movie, she was stooped, green-skinned, and dressed entirely in black. In many people's minds, this representation of The Wicked Witch has become an archetype for human wickedness.

3.. The tile itself is an allusion to a biblical reference. The line “Grapes of Wrath” comes from a Hymn, songs sang in churches, titled “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The journey that the Joad family goes on is a biblical allusion to the Exodus Journey. All the parts of the Journey can be traced back to the Bible. When the drought that stops the family from working in family comes to the journey to california and to working in california. The farm because their prison like the prisoners of the Pharaoh, and their journey to run away from the Pharaoh and to the Promised land can be seen throughout the entirety of the book. Although it might not be that obvious, the tale of Noah’s ark can be see through the family as they go from one car to another throughout the journey. “Noah stood on the ground looking up at the great load of them sitting on top of the truck.” (The Grapes, P. 84) Jim Casy can also be seen as Moses. Casy acts as a leader and helped the Joads start a new life much like moses who guided people out of Egypt. Joads “resurrection” as Jim Casy can also be alluded to the Bible. Ma joad can also be seen as the Virgin Mary From the Bible. She reveals her strength and is very selfless and knows her morals. Rose of Sharon can also be seen as the Virgin Mary. Rose of Sharon is very humble and helps many people throughout the journey and shows selflessness and humbleness. The allusions to the Bible is very important in this novel because it helps deliver that

“That was the last I would ever hear...like a hard piece of hard shoe leather” (196).

In literature, stories of madness and isolation have fascinated the minds of readers, exploring the human psyche and pushing the boundaries of reality. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” are both famous examples of short stories that explore the chilling depths of psychological horror, creating narratives that plunge audiences into a nightmarish world of dread and suspense. These narratives converge on themes of isolation and the exploration of the blurred boundary between sanity and madness. Through these writings, Gilman and Poe present the complexities of mental illness and the terrifying effects of societal constraints on individual autonomy.

The 1930s were a time of hardship for many across the United States. Not only was the Great Depression making it difficult for families to eat every day, but the Dust Bowl swept through the plains states making it nearly impossible to farm the land in which they relied. John Steinbeck saw how the Dust Bowl affected farmers, primarily the tenant farmers, and journeyed to California after droves of families. These families were dispossessed from the farms they had worked for years, if not generations (Mills 388). Steinbeck was guided by Tom Collins, the real-life model for the Weedpatch camp’s manager Jim Rawley, through one of the federal migrant worker camps. He was able to see for himself,

Does society have disparate expectations of men and women? Are men and women treated equally? In the 1930s, when The Grapes of Wrath takes place, men and women had expectations that today’s society does not always align with because we have a more complex view on sexism. Men were responsible for the money, and women were responsible for the house and the children. Even though gender roles occasionally become irrelevant, men and women more or less align evenly with gender roles.

“At the heart of every immigrant’s experience is a dream- a vision of hope that is embodied in his or her destination” (Gladstein 685). In the novel, The Grapes of Wrath the migrants imagined the absolute aspects of living care free to the west. However, everything changed once they traveled to the west, realizing the simple concept turned into hazardous problems. John Steinback emphasized the American dream of economic stability and truculent situations towards the Joads family's point of view. Throughout the immigration, the Joads family goes through constant and unpredictable changes in employment, and their eventual failure to find success in California. The novel has been called by critics "a celebration of the human spirit", in several ways it is true due to the aspects of human nature. Despite the hazardous actions people can do, it is important to realize everything around us.

Macbeth was rewritten for the relatively new King of Scotland, James I, by Shakespeare. Some believe that the play was written to reflect the King’s interests such as the altering of his family tree so that it wasn’t about murder, creating a scene where the King’s line of succession is conjured by the witches, the current threat of regicide, and medieval time’s ever growing interest/fear in witchcraft. There is no official date of Shakespeare’s birth but today, it is recognized at April 23, 1564. He lived in a big family (five siblings) with his mother, Mary, and his father, John.
