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.

The idyllic nature of one’s dream compels them forward, albeit an almost impossible one. The continual use of vivid imagery greatly immerses the reader; the reader could see George and Lennie’s “little house and a couple of acres” (14) and smell “the bacon and the hams” (57). Steinbeck appeals to the senses to show the alluring qualities of their dream. George’s repetitive depictions of their own land shows the importance of their dreams; without it, there would be no plot, no story, no desire to progress. It would be a story of two nondescript men, wandering aimlessly across the vast American west. Steinbeck chooses to incorporate imagery throughout the story to emphasize what the fruits of one’s labor will result in. The dreamlike setting of George and Lennie’s farm shows the impossibility of it, as a place that perfect would not be in the mortal world.

S. I. Hayakawa wrote and published an article named "What lt Means to Be Creative". This article challenged how a creative person could be defined and identified. In Hayakawa’s essay he presents several points of view an individual could be characterized as being creative. His writing forces you to contemplate on how a person’s aptitudes are categorized. Hayakawa tests your ability to be opened minded and makes you visualize how a person could be described as a creative individual but may discredited themselves due to society’s standard of this word. After reading his writing, I believe I can summarize his analogy.

Through his use of imagery, Steinbeck not only creates a brilliant setting, but also ties man’s inherent good into an otherwise dark portrait of the human condition, reminding me of the good within us all.

To begin with, Alex is using is self reliance by having an answer for everything and thinking his will survive out in the wild.

At the beginning of the novel, Jay Gatsby’s house is opulent and extravagant. According to Nick, it is “a colossal affair by any standard.” It has a “tower” and a “marble swimming pool,” and it spans an entire “forty acres” of property (5). While some regular houses might have swimming pools, marble is an overtly expensive material to use. Moreover, his “towers” exhibit wealth, and forty acres of land would be far more than enough for the single person who owns the property.

In John Steinbeck’s fiction novel The Grapes of Wrath, the dustbowl renders farmland useless, so the Joad family embarks on a journey across the country, leaving their farm behind in Oklahoma to attempt to find work in California. Along the way, they encounter several characters facing hardships not unlike their own. Gradually, they extend their compassion to include these characters, allowing for a “widening circle of compassion”.

The precious existence of familial relations in any given society is deemed to be invaluable by many, hence, the reason both John Steinbeck and Geraldine Brooks have integrated the value of familial relations into their novels. The influence of the conditions of migrant labours during the Dust Bowl of the Great Depression led to the creation of John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath whereby the value of familial relations are questioned in a third-person perspective as families face difficulties and obstacles throughout the years. On the other hand, Geraldine Brooks' 2001 novel Year of Wonders is inspired through the village of Eyam during the 1665-1666 Bubonic Plague period depicted through the eyes of one person showing their experiences

In 1902, John Steinbeck, a renowned twentieth century novelist was born in Salinas, California. Before he was born his father moved to the West and became a manager at a flower mill; he later married a strong characterized woman named Olive Hamilton. Because the Steinbeck family became well known in Salinas, Mrs. Steinbeck was involved in many social activities. As a child, this caused Steinbeck and his two sisters to believe that she spent more time with others than she does with them. However, when she was home, Mrs. Steinbeck encouraged their literary efforts and kept them busy with books and magazines. John Steinbeck soon came to love Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur stories of the Kings at the Round Table.

An individual can innovate their society by changing their view on the way it is

The game is changing. It is not just about math and science anymore. It is about creativity, imagination, and, above all, innovation. “Without creativity, there is no innovation. As every good gardener knows, you can’t rely on the same old flowers season after season. They die. New seeds are needed to rejuvenate the garden and stimulate growth” (Dundon, 2002). What is unfolding is the commoditization of knowledge.

With a natural talent for art and an even more natural curiosity for learning, he managed to discover new perspectives in reference to art. His take

Mr. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a fascinating man. He weighed nearly 290 pounds. He was so large that P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud sound as “a sound like G. K. Chesterton falling on a sheet of tin.” Chesterton once remarked to George Bernard Shaw, his friendly enemy in many a debate and exchanged essay, “To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England.” Shaw responded, “To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it.” Chesterton originally attended the Slade School of Art to become an illustrator, but he dropped out before receiving a degree. He certainly enjoyed drawing and did some excellent work in that area, but he soon turned his pen instead to another purpose: writing.

Companies live and breathe innovation; or, at the terribly least, notice it basic to their success. Such companies are those that others ought to emulate for they recognize that to do business, as Peter Drucker prompt in an exceedingly recent Harvard Business review article, “Every firm—not simply businesses—needs one core competence: innovation.”
