Anyone think the whole chapter about the diner has any part in the future of the book?
Maybe it's where the Joads may run into trouble, that's my guess.

This your forum for discussion. Although I will toss in questions, I will expect you to be the main contributors to the blog. You are expected to post and comment at least twice (1x each) every time we are in the lab as a class. Naturally, you are required to keep comments germane to the novel and to treat your classmates' opinions with respect. Have fun.

i don't know; i don't really think the odd chapters are directly related to the Joads. i think they are mainly in the book to help readers get a clearer understanding of the backdrop for the joad's story: the great depression.
And I think they sort of are there to add some pathos to the novel. Although I don't really care about those people after reading those chapters. I guess I'm a horrible person.
I think that the diner chapter will have some importance to the Joad's journey. They might break down there or need food there or something. I do think that the odd chapters have some direct realtionship with the Joads. I mean the situation is described in these odd chapters and then basicly described over again with the Joads in them so I think that we will see the Diner again in the book.
Nah, I think it was another one of Steinbeck's symbolic chapters. I doubt it will have much significance to the actually thought. I agree with gazellia though that there is some pathos there. I think he uses it to create sympathy for the lower, poorer classes.
When i said thought, i meant plot lol.
