Week of November 14th--Grapes of Wrath!

1. How does the land turtle, that Tom Joad wraps up tight in his shirt, foreshadow events in the story?

2. What is corrupt and morally questionable about the bankers' agents that foreclosed on mortgages and drove farmers off of their land?

3. What happens to Tom Joad when he attempts to return home after 4 years in prison? Who does he meet along the way and what happens? Be specific and use concrete details!

4. Why does Tom Joad become so agitated with the truck driver that gives him a free ride? Make sure you are analyzing and using concrete details!
