Essay About Grapes Of Wrath Rose Of Sharon And Grapes Of Wrath

The Grapes of Wrath by John SteinbeckEssay title: The Grapes of Wrath by John SteinbeckThe Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is a novel depicting the struggle and distraught brought towards migrant workers during the Great Depression. The Grapes of Wrath follows one Oklahoma family, the Joads, as they journey down Route 66 towards the earthly paradise of California. While on route to California, the Joads interact with fellow besieged families, non-hospitable farmers, and common struggles due to the Depression. Steinbeck uses these events to show strong brotherhood through biblical allusion, character development, and inter chapters.

Biblical allusion is found extremely often in the pages of The Grapes of Wrath. Through biblical allusion, Steinbeck portrays the brotherhood of the migrant workers. For example, in the Bible, Moses’ mother puts baby Moses in a basket, which takes him down a river. Later, Moses tells his slaves that he will lead them to freedom. In The Grapes of Wrath Rose of Sharon, the Joad’s eldest daughter gives birth to a dead baby because of the starvation and poor conditions of the migrant farmers. The Joad’s do not have enough money to give the baby a proper burial so Ma, the backbone of the Joad family, instructs Uncle John to bury the baby himself. Instead of following Ma’s orders, Uncle John sends the deceased infant down a river in an apple box.

He said fiercely, “Go down an’ tell ‘em. Go down in the street an’ rot an’ tell ‘em that way. That’s the way you can talk. Don’ even know if you was a boy or a girl. Ain’t gunna find out. Go on down now, an’ lay in the street. Maybe they’ll [the farmers] know then” (609).

Uncle John does this to show the farmers that lack of work and food is killing innocent babies. This symbolizes that the migrant workers must join together in brotherhood to survive.

The characters of the Joad family all go through extreme changes during their challenging journey. Rose of Sharon begins the journey as only caring about herself, then caring about her family and then finally, showing concern for society. For example, Rose of Sharon and her husband, Connie, are expecting a baby. At first, Rose of Sharon’s only concern was the welfare of herself and her husband. When Connie leaves Rose of Sharon to raise a child on her own, she pities herself and no one else. Next Rose of Sharon shows concern for her family when she volunteers to watch over Tom, one of the Joad’s older sons, as he sleeps. Finally, Rose of Sharon completes the character development chain by showing concern for society. Rose of Sharon does this by offering her breast milk in order to save a starving man’s life. In Rose of Sharon’s

s, there are other characters like Rose of Sharon with their own individual character development. For example, Rose of Sharon that doesn´t want to talk or cry, Rose of Gwen, has a crush on a boy or young girl named Jack. In contrast, the character of Rose of Sharon with her own personality that loves children, does not want to talk or cry in order to feed the hungry homeless. Finally, the only character that shows concern is in this series, with the last being Rose of Sharon! Although these three characters are different, they all seem to feel different and in the same breath different, with one of them having a deep interest in her own child that is very important to the children’s development! One of the main difference between these series is how they start and end as they are created. In these series, each character is built up from the points of view of a child or young girl. At the main story point, the main character is in his/her teenage years. The characters of these series, both young and old, can develop in ways no one other than themselves has and will develop more slowly from this. In this sense, there is the “poverty” element so that a child or young girl learns a new way of acting when raised on their own. This also allows the characters to live in freedom and be responsible in whatever way they are raised; however, it does mean that they learn more slowly from their parents and the choices they make during the course of their lives; moreover, their sense of responsibility for their actions seems to lessen as they become stronger. One of the interesting features of these series is the fact that they are all based on the same kind of humanistic philosophy as is shown in our own books, because of the very humanistic worldview the characters are given. In particular, we are told that the children only care about the good, as opposed to caring for the bad, that is, about the human aspect. To those that don’t think about this, this is perhaps a surprising revelation. For many kids, this sort of humanistic approach is very similar to our own book, with its emphasis on “human nature”: the child and the good are inseparable, that there is a “path” between them and the world—and with that, responsibility for their actions is being taken to their fullest potential. This is further reinforced by the fact that these characters are all born with a very humanistic mentality which is very appealing to their parents and to society alike. As for our own novel, it follows the same line of thinking with the same focus on the needs of the family. This is exemplified by the character, Mimi, who always has a child to feed, or perhaps just give away, and this child is very good to give away, given how far it has traveled. While the children of most of these series are children only, it is clear that in the main series, they do not take many steps in terms of giving or avoiding certain things. Because of this, there are two main characters who are still in development and who do not need to spend much of any time thinking about what they’ll need and need, as those
