whole family and their struggles. The grapes of
Wrath is modeled after a biblical reference to the
Israelites, god+s chosen people. They also left

Mice And Men Mentally Challenged

John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men should not
be banned form the grade 9 curriculum. This story
of a man and his best friend is a great source for
teaching in schools. In the book a mentally
challenged character is presented. This book
teaches us that people who arent as smart as some
are still good people and can do just as much as
anybody else, sometimes even more. I aint saying
hes bright. He aint. But I say hes a God damn good
worker. He can put up four hundred pound bale.

Third Person Omniscient Third Person Limited

By: Point-of-view Cannery Row Point-of-View By:
Ryan Walsh In Cannery Row, John Steinbeck used the
third person omniscient point-of-view. He could
have used the first person point-of-view, but it
wouldnt have gotten his entire story across. He
could have used third person limited, but then he
wouldnt have been able to tell about everything
that was going on in Cannery Row. It is my opinion
that Mr. Steinbeck used the best point-of-view
possible for this book. Cannery Row is a book

Rose Of Sharon Grapes Of Wrath

Survival of the Passionate Raymond Chandler,
author of The Big Sleep, and John Steinbeck,
author of The Grapes of Wrath, focus their novels
on astounding women, the backbone of support
necessary for their family to overcome obstacles
and survive. In many ways, women are used to
gathering information, inspiring, encouraging the
hero, while hiding the negative with an absolute
and optimistic, though often false, attitude. The
women in these two novels are parallel in many
ways. They all achieve an...
