I just finished reading my self-assigned section of The Grapes of Wrath for the day. I thought I’d share a few of my thoughts and some quotes.
The early part of this book seems to be contrasting and comparing the attitudes of these displaced tenant farmers with the “owner men.“
“I was a damn ol’ hypocrite, but I didn’t mean to be.” - Reverend Jim Casey
Jim Casey has spent some time wandering around and deconstructing his faith and what he’s left with- at least in the part of the book I’ve gotten up to - is his love for people.
“The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.” - owner men deflecting responsibility for displacing farmers
“Men ate what they had not raised, had no connection with the bread. The land bore under iron, and under iron gradually died; for it was not loved or hated, it had no prayers or curses.“ I find the imagery of the land, being enslaved and forced to bear quite compelling.
“If a fella’s got somepin to eat an’ another fella’s hungry – why the first fella ain’t got no choice. I mean, s’pose I pick up my rabbits, an’ go off somewheres and eat em. See?“ - Muley, a slightly crazy displaced farmer who has lost everything, including his family, expressing his feeling of moral obligation to his fellow man.
“Sometimes a sad man can talk the sadness right out through his mouth. Sometimes a killin’ man can talk the murder right out of his mouth an’ not do no murder. You done right. Don’t you kill nobody if you can help it.“ - Jim Casey counseling Muley. Casey is still very much a minister, even though his faith is not the same.
Willy Feely is also a former tenant farmer, but instead of being destitute like his neighbors, he has chosen to work for the “owner man.” He rides a tractor and plows the fields and knocks down houses and enforces evictions. He is between a rock and a hard place himself, but he is still a traitor to his people.
Ma Joad welcomes strangers and offers to feed them before she realizes that it’s her own prodigal son & the preacher. She does this even though they themselves are in poverty, and she makes no fuss about it. She says, “we got a-plenty.”

Enjoying some sweet silence this morning. Too bad I had to mop the floor to get it as everyone went to their rooms. How many times can a mom mop the floors daily 🤔 😂2

Write it all down. Usually by the third generation people can’t remember. So a few people can tell you their great grandmothers maiden name.Alinouveau2 wrote: »itchmyTwitch wrote: »

Both my grandmother's had interesting stories.
