chapter 28: the symbolism of the rain
In class we discussed the symbolism of rain to the story and after listening to everyone discuss this I kept thinking about it. Everyone basically said that the rain symbolised "hope", however, I believe that the rain symbolizes "cleaning" the past or "showering" their lives. The rain is washing away the negativity and bringing a brand new begining for the Joad Family. Its washing the past and the struggles off their past, making them forget about their past lives and look forward to what will occur in the future. Maybe the rain means a new brighter change for every one.

Well to me the rain was like life and death. Since rain can kill but it can fertilize and create life. But it could also be seen as that sliver of hope.
