chapter 5

     Good afternoon, I would just like to put my perspective  on why it's evident  that Steinbeck  wrote from a third person omniscient point of view. It is evident that the author is writing from a third person omniscient point of view  because Steinbeck shifts from character to character allowing the readers to  really conceptualize the lives of the characters, for example, in chapter 1 the story is being told from the farmers perspective but in chapter 2 Steinbeck is using a truck drivers perspective. As the story moves along  Steinbeck dramatically shifts and rotates the characters to enable the reader to read some of the thoughts and feelings of the characters at specific important points. Moreover, this specific point of view can definitely be the most  affective point of view for Steinbeck's purpose because throughout the chapters we can occasionally get into the mind of the characters and get a close glimpse of their feelings, he lets the readers know when, why, and where everything is happening keeping the readers enlightened and diverted as the story moves along. If anyone has anything to add or correct please feel free to do so. I just wanted to get this specific chapter on the blog because I felt like I can get more opinions on why Steinbeck chose this point of view.

Thanks :)
