SPA Structure
Intros, Titles, Conclusions
Small group work:
- What do the boxcars provide besides shelter?
- In hiding, what decision does Tom make? How does Ma feel about that? What conclusion does Ma reach about the family? And what keeps them from giving up?
- Ma articulates a big difference between men and women (see p. 423). Firstly, put her ideas into your own words and, secondly, what are your thoughts on her observations?
- p. 432: Opening paragraph -- lets collect some verbs & images
- Lots of talk about anger. What must be done with anger in order to overcome fear?
- Steinbeck said, "I've done my damndest to rip the reader's nerves to rages; I don't want him satisfied." Did he succeed in doing that to you? If so, how did he accomplish it? If not, why weren't you affected in that way?
