This shows how the turtle continues life no matter the troubles he faced. The author uses symbolism to show the turtle’s determination. “His front wheel struck the edge of the shell, flipped the turtle…it’s front foot caught a piece of

Steinbeck establishes the idea that the Joad family is like a turtle in order to heighten the intensity of their determination.

Throughout “The Grapes of Wrath” the Joads receive the most brutal of treatment from those with the most ability to help them: the more fortunate. It becomes repeatedly apparent, that profits are more important to the wealthy than the welfare of men.

This therefore shows the theme of financial status determining the human capacity for both kindness and arbitrary cruelty.

The tone changes with each character’s narration, pearl were stern and rigid, Cody’s tone was spiteful, and Ezra and Jenny were doubtful. I like the time transition that occurs in the novel. It let me see how the Tull’s lives and opinions have changed as they got older. I was shocked to read that their lives had gotten more complicated since their childhood. To me Ezra had changed the least. He stayed humble and was loved by everyone around him like always. Ezra finds peace working for Mrs. Scarlatti and spent most of his time there. He found everything that he did not find at home, he treated Mrs. Scarlatti as his mother and the restaurant as his home. He even tries to fix his broken family through his food. He often tried to bring their family
