GOW: 1/2 18 & 19 — Part 2 is done!

Free write:
1. How have the Joads been tested? How does their faith/hope survive?
2. What do you think of when you hear the phrase Promised Land? What have the Joads expected of their promised land? Has the idea of a promised land blinded the Joads in any way?
3. What character has been the strongest teacher/leader? Has any character emerged as a savior of any kind?

Bible & The Grapes of Wrath

Character Groups: What did we learn about your character during this journey?

Discussion:
1. p. 233: let's look at the use of the word Okie and how the narrator, a person we assume sides with the migrant worker, is able to turn the word around into something powerful instead of a slur of weakness.
