He never calls them by name, John Steinbeck immortalizes the Wobblies in The

Grapes of Wrath. The novel is about the life of the Joad family. The Joads have lost

their farm during the Depression, the family has come to California seeking work.

There is no permanent work for anyone, moreover, the money earned by picking

crops is not enough to feed the family.

Union organizers have talked to the workers about organizing and striking.

Tom, the oldest Joad son, has listened to them, however, he has not yet joined them.

Tom is in hiding because he has accidentally killed a man in a fight. He spends all

his daylight hours alone, he has lots of time to think about his family’s situation.

Tom becomes convinced that life is unfair for his people, he decides to leave the family, find the union men, and work with them.

He is inarticulate when he tries to explain to Ma what he hopes to do he gropes

for words to express his frustration and his hope. Ma asks him how she will know

about him, she worries that he might get killed and she would not know. Tom’s reassurances are almost mystical: “Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat,

I’ll be there an’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they

build, I’ll be there.”

If Tom had had a copy of the Wobblies’ “little red song book,” he could have

found less mystical words. Every copy of the book contained the Wobblies’

Preamble, the first sentence in the Preamble was unmistakably clear “The working

class and the employing class have nothing in common.” Tom would have understood those words he would have believed them too.

Answer:

<em>The truth doesn't cost anything, but a lie could cost everything.</em>

<em>- Unknown</em>

The wind whistled in [name]'s ears. He could hear his voice rising louder above the noise as he tried to explain his way out of yet another lie. "But, mom-" "[character's full name], you have to stop telling so many lies! Don't you regret any of this?" his mother sighed exasperatedly. "I- I'm sorry..." "Just like all those other times...!" [Name]'s mother looked him squarely in the face, her eyes faintly wettening. "It's just that - I didn't wanna get in trouble. I mean, I <em>never </em>want to get in trouble-" "And that's why you keep lying." His mother sighed again. "[Name], if you spend all your life trying to get out of trouble instead of keeping yourself from getting <em>in</em>to trouble, who knows how many lies you'll tell? It'll just keep getting worse and worse."

[Name] sighed as he walked towards the town, the mountain air somehow not making him feel any better. He really didn't want to lie- but it was such a hard habit for him to break. It seemed as if for every lie he told, three more came after it, only for him to get in trouble for something else to avoid getting punished for what he actually did- and the cycle continued. It was a never-ending cycle of lies, lies, and more lies.

Question 1 (1 point) Question 1 Saved
tekilochka [14]

"She and her friends will go shopping at the mall"

nouns and pronouns in the subjective case are italicized. A noun in the subjective case is often the subject of a verb. For example: "The tree fell on my car", "the tree" is in the nominative case because it's the subject of the verb "fell".
