Blogger tips

Here's a quick informational sheet to help you with Blogger. If you have other questions, I'll help you out as best I can.

How to share blog authorship

To share authorship of the blog go to Settings --> Basic. Scroll down a bit to Permissions. You'll see a section called "Blog Authors". Click on "Add Authors", and send your partner an email to invite her/him to be an author. Once your partner has signed in, change his/her permission to ADMIN. Then you'll both have writing abilities.


Hope this helps.

The Bible & The Grapes of Wrath


Discussion questions from lots and lots of reading

1. When the car breaks down, what is significant about Ma's reaction? How does this mechanical difficulty affect the relationship between Ma & Pa? Ma and the family? Tom & Al?

2. What advice does Tom offer the one-eyed man in the junkyard? What might the one-eyed man represent, metaphorically?

3. In the camping area, what information does the ragged man give to Pa about California? What effect does this information have on the Joads? (Pa, Tom, Al, & Ma)

4. What effect does the nightly camping have on the people heading for California? How does it give them strength and power? In what way does the night camp influence the identity of the migrant people?

5. What is the Joads' first view of California? What impressions of California do the father and son from the Panhandle provide?

6. 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.
