Quoting the book:
"Pa thought he knew why Noah was strange, but Pa was ashamed, and never told. For on the night when Noah was born, Pa, frightened at the spreading thighs, alone in the house, and horrified at the screaming wretch his wife had become, went mad with apprehension. Using his hands, his strong fingers for forceps, he had pulled and twisted the baby. The midwife, arriving late, had found the baby's head pulled out of shape, its neck stretched, its body warped; and she had pushed the head back and molded the body with her hands. But Pa always remembered, and was ashamed."
Pretty much, Pa pulled the baby out, and misshaped it.
In "The Grapes of Wrath," Noah is portrayed as a withdrawn and introspective member of the Joad family. He is depicted as physically unwell and mentally challenged, often isolated from the rest of the family. Noah's character serves to highlight the hardships and challenges faced by the Joad family as they struggle to survive during the Great Depression.
An example of a hyperbole in "The Grapes of Wrath" is when Steinbeck describes the heavy rain pouring down as if "the waters of Noah" were returning. This exaggeration emphasizes the intensity and relentless nature of the rain, setting a dramatic tone for the story.
After the flood Noah was a farmer and he grew grapes in a vineyard.
Noah Joad leaves the family in "The Grapes of Wrath" because he feels disconnected and isolated from them. He struggles to find his place in the family and in society, feeling a lack of purpose or direction. Noah's departure reflects his internal turmoil and search for personal identity.
He was a farmer and he grew grapes in his vineyard.
because when noah was being born, pa wanted to end the pain for ma as quickly as he could because he didnt understand pregnancy since that was their first child, and he twisted the baby by the head in attempt to get him out and then tried moving his face back to normal which actually made things worse
If you mean the Noah from Noah's Ark, there is no record of Noah being immoral, and it is slightly doubtful, since God chose him above everyone else on Earth at the time as a righteous man.
Moses was in a baby ark. Noah built an ark. Moses was safe from danger due to pharaoh's wrath. Noah was safe from danger due to God's wrath. Moses saved his people from bondage. Noah's descendants saved the world through the tribe of Judah. God is gracious. Amen.
In the story of Noah, the angry and vengeful God decides to cleanse the Earth of its wickedness through a catastrophic flood, as humanity had strayed far from righteousness. This divine wrath is depicted as a response to the pervasive sin and corruption among humans. Noah, deemed righteous, is chosen to build an ark to save his family and pairs of animals, symbolizing both judgment and mercy. The narrative highlights themes of divine justice and the consequences of moral decay.
