John Steinbeck

" The Grapes of Wrath" is more of a fictional portrayal of the struggles faced by the Joad family during the Great Depression, rather than a strict historical record. While it captures the essence of the time period and addresses the social issues prevalent during the era, it also includes elements of dramatization and storytelling that may not be wholly accurate.

Lennie tells his froend George he remembers that a lady used to give mice to him. George scoffs. "A lady, huh? (you) don't even remember who that lady was. That was your own Aunt Clara. An' she stopped givin' 'em to ya. You always killed 'em."

Lennie's Aunt Clara had raised Lennie from when he was a baby right up until she died, then he and his friend George went out working, and looking for work, together.

Charles Darwin sparked his interest in Realism and Naturalism. After he dropped out of college he traveled to New York to take a job as a reporter but soon got fired.

John Steinbeck was a great "people watcher" and was fascinating with people of all walks of life. He experienced a great deal in his lifetime and he wrote about it. At first he was not a successful writer and even left writing for a period of time, but got back into writing. One of his best loved works of writing is "The Grapes of Wrath."

John Steinbeck died in 1968.

Yes, Steinbeck has 2 kids.

Lifeboat was an unpublished short story written by Steinbeck. He tried to turn it into a screenplay for Hitchcock, but they couldn't reconcile their different visions of the movie. Steinbeck asked that his name never be released in conjunction to the movie. The story can be read at the John Steinbeck research library. Alas it is not online.

*His frequent topic was misfits, homeless and hopeless during the depession. *Methinks perhaps someone's working on an essay and is desperately scrambling to get it finished without having to do any more work than is necessary. *I think the second answer is correct. ~Deb~

JOHN ERNST & OLIVE HAMILTON STEINBECK John Ernst Steinbeck (Jr.) was the third of four children and the only son born (1902, Salinas, Califirnia) to County Treasurer John Ernst Steinbeck and former schoolteacher Olive Hamilton Steinbeck.

If you and your wife have talked about her affair openly, and you have supposedly come to terms with it and things were going along fine, I would drop it. By bringing it up you are opening wounds. She is probably ashamed of herself and feels guilty for breaking the trust you had in her, and you've heard this quote before, "If you tell a joke, and another person tells someone else, and on and on, the jokes isn't even the same as when it was first told." The same with her story. If you keep bringing it up it shakes her up, and makes her nervous. Quit playing the detective and stop torturing yourself about why she did it and take a good look at yourself for a bit as I am sure there are a few things in your own personality you could change to strengthen your marriage. It takes two! Many of us make mistakes in this area and it could have been you that cheated and it could still happen anytime during your own life. You have a choice ... give her another chance and she should earn your trust or know in your heart you can't forgive her and don't trust her and move on. If you caught her in an affair this is a different matter. She didn't come clean and you simply caught her. Marriage is always worth saving and you know her best. Search your own soul to see what you could have done to make your mate a little happier. Did you take the time out for her when she needed it? Do you really listen to her needs? When did you last buy her flowers or told her how pretty she is. When was the last time you went out for dinner and dancing or out with friends to a nice club and some good fun? None of us are perfect. Marriage takes a lot of work. If you feel you were attentive enough and she seems to be inclined to look for love in all the wrong places, you are best to move on. Good luck Marcy P.S. It never ceases to amaze me that when men cheat it's considered natural and OK, but if a woman does she is branded for life! Think about that one! If you haven't I bet you know a buddy or two who has, and I bet you didn't say one word!

Crooks tells Lennie that George might not come back from town, upsetting Lennie and making him worry.

George asks Candy not to tell anyone about their plan to buy a piece of land and start a farm together. He wants to keep it confidential to avoid any interference or obstacles in achieving their shared dream.

1. The title itself, "The Pearl," alludes to the central object in the story which symbolizes wealth and its consequences.
2. The character of Kino can be seen as an allusion to the biblical figure of Adam, representing human innocence and the temptations of wealth.
3. The doctor in the story alludes to the corrupting influence of greed and the exploitation of the poor.
4. The theme of good versus evil in the novel can be seen as an allusion to the age-old struggle between light and darkness.

"The Pearl" by John Steinbeck is a novella that is loosely based on a medieval Mexican folktale. It tells the story of Kino, a Mexican pearl diver, and his pursuit of wealth through finding a valuable pearl. The novella explores themes of greed, the corrupting influence of money, and the loss of innocence.

George is smaller than Lennie more protective of Lennie and he thinks before he makes an action or speaks

Lennie is tremendous in size he has a mind of a child he doesn't think what he does until he has harmed or killed something then he realizes what he has done bad he enjoys touching soft things and doesn't know when to lets go

some similarities are that they are both good at there jobs and they both have similar dreams (the Ranch)

**Hope this helped out (: **

It was not valuable.

Harper Lee wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird," and John Steinbeck wrote "The Grapes of Wrath" during the Great Depression. Both novels are considered literary classics and have had a significant impact on American literature.

No, Candy would not have agreed to let crooks live on the farm. Candy is loyal to George and Lennie, and he follows their decisions. He wouldn't jeopardize their safety or wellbeing by allowing strangers to live on the farm.

Kino gains wisdom through his experiences and hardships in his pursuit of the pearl. He learns about the destructive nature of greed, the importance of family and love, and the harsh realities of society. As he faces challenges and consequences, Kino reflects on his actions and gains a deeper understanding of himself and the world around him.
