In the excerpt from Grapes of Wrath what message do you see about our capitalistic society? Is that message a positive message or negative message?
Much of the excerpt you were assigned to read deals with “people in flight, refugees from the dust . . .” [Quote from Grapes of Wrath Excerpt]. Do you see similar people in today’s America?
What message or theme do you think we could take away from this reading that would be comparable to current issues in America today? Explain the “how so” or why.
