- Let's see if you can make the connection! Think about some of the
naturalistic elements we identified in class (Chapter 1). What aspects or
characteristics of the 1930s are being demonstrated to us at those moments in
the text? What do you believe John Steinbeck was trying to show us or
expose about the way people, life, or society was during this time in American
history?
The aspects of the 1930s that are being demonstrated to us at those
moments in the text are for example like elements in their clothing how it was
being described. The characteristics of naturalism that we had talked
about in class have many examples in the text that we read in chapter 1; like
they way he compares Lennie to a bear, and a horse when he was drinking because
he was dehydrated and when he was dragging his feet across the grounded like a
bear drags his paws, cause he was tired so I would feel bad for the working
class because it shows how tired he is, and no body knows
how long they had
been walking for.
I think that John Steinbeck was trying to explain to us how hard it was
for people to survive get food, water, jobs and how they weren’t able to travel
from place to place as efficiently as we can now.
