Chapter 26
Jim Casey has always been a Switzerland type of person. He was never too hot, never too cold, always neutral until some recent chapters when he states to Tom that he's tired of talking and never acting out his ideas. Just as he says that he makes his first Christ-like step he takes the blame for Tom. From the beginning Jims message has always been to unity of the people's do love for one another, which is the same message Jesus came to spread. Similarly, both Jesus and Jim have sacrificed them selves multiple times for their people and dying for their beliefs. Plus, I don't think it's a coincidence that they have the same initials.

That's so cool, I didn't even realize that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with your comparison of Casey to Jesus. They both set in motion a change, and they both inspired people to continue their message.
ReplyDeleteYes, his initials aren't a coincedence. Steinbeck purposely made Jim Casy the way he is due to the impact and philosophies he makes. All the biblical references in the book also support the fact that Jim Casy is similar to Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteI like your comparisons between Casy and Jesus. Also, I like that you mentioned he was neutral I didn't notice that until you said it.
