Grapes of Wrath

Pick one or more scenes from Grapes of Wrath to illustrate the four norms: be attentive, be intelligent, be reasonable, and be responsible. The illustrations can be positive or negative. There are many scenes throughout Grapes of Wrath that contain illustrations of the form norms: be attentive, be intelligent, be reasonable, and be responsible. I feel that the scene between the truck driver and Tom Joad in Chapter Two was able to express these norms …

…In my opinion the characters of this scene struggled with these standards of truth that transcend cultural differences. While they weren’t always attentive, intelligent, reasonable, and responsible I hope that they were both able to leave the situation with a somewhat new perspective on how others think and react in situations. Overall, I felt the scene was able to portray the majority of the norms in both a positive and negative nature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
