Today we discussed a lot of ideas from the Grapes of Wrath to the "president." What was your favorite part of the discussion? Do you have any additional ideas to connect the text to the real world?
My favorite part of the discussion was talking about Ma and her character. I feel like many of us can connect to her characterization not only in being strong or at least trying to be, but also keeping the family together. By family, I mean us students working together to get that 5 on the exam and working together as family to achieve it! If we separate and go our own ways, who knows what would become of us! I feel like her character was well developed and Steinbeck did a wonderful job with her character!
Please comment any ideas, questions, or input you had about today's discussion! :)
I loved the whole conversation regarding the president as it was about current dilemmas in the world at the moment and how brainwashed society sadly is. I have negative feelings towards the current POTUS so it was a relief seeing people on the same side sharing the same ideas. Good question!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Jeffery.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Sonia on how Ma Joad was a fully developed character and how Steinbeck shows her in different situations and different attitudes helping us piece together who Ma Joad really was as a person.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your connection!
ReplyDeleteI really liked how Ma turned out in the book. Steinbeck showed that it's not just men who are strong but women too!
ReplyDeleteYour connection is actually so perfect, that was a great comment for the blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of you on Ma. I think in all family, mother play the role that connect the family members together.
