Grapes...
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.

To me,it seems like Steinbeck questioned Christianity a lot. I think he also questioned what is moral and what is not. This may have been hard because at the time,many people had to do things that they had not previously thought was moral just so they could feed their kids.
We are out of our comfort zone--people are being forced to live in sub-human conditions; our first impulse is to blame the victom--it is their own fault, right? Or is it an issue of "There but for fortune go I"? It is uncomfortable to have to the dirty, unkempt, poorly educated as entitled to the opportunity to work for the same quality of life that we all enjoy...and it leads back to Christianity...do we teach people to fish so that they can eat for a lifetime, give them fish so that they can eat for a day and be dependent for a lifetime, or do we stand back and let evolution work its unbiased, nonsunjective course--selecting teh fittest--and possibly the meanest to survive--is that what Ma fears?
i'm pretty sure he was a socialist...borderline communist. thats just a fact, i'm not sure if it has anything to do with this post or not.
jeUSAves, I think you're making up facts. Lol, that was a joke
Steinbeck could just be questioning life. I mean... a lot of brilliant minds do that. I guess it's cool.
I feel weird calling him brilliant, though. I hate his writing.
