The tone of chapter 11 in John Steinbeck's, “The Grapes of Wrath,” is sympathetic, sad and hopeless. His word choice and syntax show how the sad houses were left to decay in the weather. His use of descriptive words paints a picture in the reader's mind. As each paragraph unfolds, new details come to life and adds to the imagery. While it may seem unimportant, this intercalary chapter shows how the effects of the great depression affected common households.

In the sequel of this book the following should happen: The boy, and his “girlfriend” Hannah, should grow up together, and get married, and buy another dog so Bailey can have puppies, and they should also live on Ethan’s Grandparents’ farm together. There should definitely be a Bailey's Story 2, because I would read it, and I would want to hear the boy, and his, “girlfriend” get married, or they have a giant plot twist and don't get married, that's why they should make a sequel. I would also like to see them get get another dog, and for Bailey to have puppies, also my last thing that I would like to see in the sequel of this book is for Ethan and Hannah to live on Ethan’s grandparents’ farm together, and live their lives out on the farm. Reading Bailey’s Story was a pleasure, and I hope to see a sequel to this book

In The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, the chapters alternate between two perspectives of a story. One chapter focuses on the tenants as a whole, while the other chapter focuses specifically of a family of tenants, the Joads, and their journey to California. Chapter 5 is the former and Steinbeck does an excellent job of omniscient third person point of view to describe the situation. Chapter 5’s main idea is to set the conflict and let the readers make connections between Steinbeck’s alternating chapters with foreshadowing. Steinbeck is effectual in letting readers make connections both to the world and the text itself with the use of exposition, and symbolism.

I would describe the acting in The Grapes of Wrath as “OUTSIDE” (or external/presentational. I would say that this play is outside acting because the actors need vocal coaching/ dialect, stage combat, and dance classes. I do not really know if they needed all of these things or they already know how to do it. In the play a lot of these things were represented throughout. The actors were dancing and singing just a little of combat.

Humanity likes to believe that it doesn’t create problems when in reality it is the main cause. In The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, cruelty to mankind through its own actions is demonstrated by the harsh conditions of the Great Depression. Along the Joad’s journey to a prosperous life in California, they come across multiple challenging obstacles. They are able to unite with friends and other families at government camps and on Route 66 that help them defeat each obstacle. These trials of inhumanity are portrayed through literary devices that support the creation of a theme throughout the novel.

I understand that Jason did care about what Percy was saying but it's still kind of stupid of him to not realize how bad the situation is??? Like, here is one of his closest friends, who is just saying that he deserves to die a painful death and who's been feeling depressed and really angry lately— starts talking to him about it and Jason is just like “No. I think I get it.” He really should have let Percy vent to him about how he feels (and Percy really needs someone to vent to, at this point).
