Chapter 5
I know I'm kind of late everyone but I just wanted some input on Chapter 5. I am not gonna lie when I first started this chapter I was super confused I didn't understand what was going on but by the end I could sort of recollect what I read and realize what it was really about. But the real question I have regards the second bullet point of the prompt. Summarize the conflict between the landowners and the banks. Is this man vs. man or man vs. society? I was thinking about both but I mean, the author kept referring to the bank being a monster more than a man, but then again could the bank be a society? What are some other opinions on this?

Well I thought it was more of Individual versus Society because of how Steinbeck says that the bank isn't one man it's a monster. "It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man...The bank is something more than men... Men made it, but they can't control it" This quote kind of helped me like provide evidence why it might be individual versus society.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with Melissa on this it's more of an individual verses society scenario because the tenant farmers can be viewed as the individuals and the banks or the monster as society because it's never really said who controls the bank when the guy on the tractor was telling the tenant farmer his orders.
