Thursday

Read chapter 26.  As you read be sure to take notes to compare Weedpatch with the Hooper Ranch.

The climax is coming soon, look for it. 

Grapes of Wrath

Today we need to read chapters 21 and 22. 

There is a lot of reading here so keep up.  Also, remember to post your outlines of chapters 1-18 tonight. 

The Grapes of Wrath

Today - we will briefly discuss chapter 18.  We'll read chapter 19.

Afterwards, I want you to outline the book to where we are - go chapter by chapter include:

1) Theme
2) Brief description of what happens
3) characters
4) Any important symbol or motif
5) Make sure you list the inciting event.

This outline will be due on Tuesday.  Try and get as much done today and tonight.  It'll be worth 38 points - 2 pts per chapter.

Chapters 15 and 16

Chapter 15 is the chapter about the diner and the truck drivers.  Diners are like an oasis on the road.  The chapter shows that Al, Mae, and the drivers do care about all these people on the road, but feel overwhelmed at the same time.

Chapter 16 -
Junk yard and the private camp
One eyed man- feels sorry for himself and prevent himself from doing anything
Stienbeck is trying to say that you cant let thing hold you back

Private camp- man who was in cali and tells them that someone owns everything and that its not going to be like what everyone thinks. it is workers needed, not told the salary. you work just enough to live. he lost his entire family.

The One Eyed man is a symbol you'll need to know.  

Grapes of Wrath MOVEMENT 1

So the 1st 11 chapters make up the first movement of the book. 

Chapter 11 ends with abandon houses and kids coming to break the windows.  There is a ghost-like feeling to these houses and the land: places where people were born, struggled, lived, died, and now everyone is gone.

YOUTUBE citations

For those of you using YouTube as a source - you might check HERE for a link for proper steps to cite the source.  NOTE - Purdue OWL offers the following help on citing YOUTUBE videos:

The MLA does not specifically address how to cite a YouTube video. This has, it appears, led to some confusion as to the best method of for citing YouTube videos in MLA. 
Based on MLA standards for other media formats, we feel that the following format is the most acceptable for citing YouTube videos:
Author’s Name or Poster’s Username. “Title of Image or Video.” Media Type
Text. Name of Website. Name of Website’s Publisher, date of posting. Medium. date retrieved.

Here is an example of what that looks like:
