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.

maybe someone swerved to hit it...
i miss the turtle too :(
I think I would have liked the book more if the turtle had come back. He was my favorite metaphor....
i hate turtles and i'm glad he didn't come back.
Maybe it drowned in the flood?
Since we're so into symbolism... maybe the dying man was the reincarnation of the turtle
GUYS! THINK! Where did we last see the turtle (yes, it was the same turtle)?
See my last post...come on, dig deep!
I think Steinbeck was probably just using the turtle to forshadow what was going to happen in the book and nothing else.
I'm digging deep....yep, still not getting it....but the turtle was pretty cool
I know!! I really miss the little guy... :(
"They was on'y one thing to do-ever-an' we done it." ma this to pa in the last chapter, and she was right; with all this crazy stuff happening in oklahoma, they pretty much had no other choice but to start moving. The turtle is this way too; it encounters all of these obstacles but just keeps going.
where did we last see the turtle?!?! I can't remember!
hahah i was right the only reason steinbeck put the turtle in the stor is because he has a turtle fetish...no i think that the turtle had some symbolism...it showed that during the depression life was hard for the animals too.
