The Grapes of Wrath # 2
300 words minimum - due by 11:59 pm, Sunday, 27 March 2011
Please respond to the following prompt:
What's the difference between the tractor driver in Chapter 5 and Mae in chapter 15. I'm not requiring you to analyze the two characters and make assumptions based on what little information you have on them; instead, I am asking that you assess the two situations that these characters are involved in.
What enables the tractor driver to knock down the Joads' house, while Mae lies and sells candy to the children at a very discounted rate? What is the difference in these two situations?
I'm looking forward to discussing this further during our Socratic Seminar on Monday.

An Interview with Marlow
Please respond to these questions in the character of Marlow. Make sure your answers reflect the text. Be creative and have fun!
1.) Mr. Marlow, what factors led you into the business that you are in?
2.) Why the obsession with finding Kurtz?
3.) If you and Kurtz had met on the streets of London prior to any of this jungle nonsense, how would that meeting have gone? Might a friendship have blossomed?
