Peer feedback Essay #2

In the book, Grapes of Wrath written by John Steinbeck, is about a migrant family doing anything in order to survive. The had to move from there hometown in order to survive they need to get jobs. But when they got to California they had trouble because the people their would treat the migrants like trash and a waste of space.But in reality they aren't doing anything wrong all they are going is wanting a better life than what they had. They are doing it because it is a necessity to do in order to survive and have a better life than what they have now. Is that to much to ask for? Instead of have the police man " protect" people like they are suppose to they killed on of the Joad sons. Why are they treating migrants bad when in reality they should be focusing on the people who do bad in the community like killing not for working. In the beginning of the novel the turtle foreshadows the Joad family because they are willing to do anything in order to survive just like the turtle. The turtle is determined to survive at any cost. Doesn't matter how long it takes him to do it he will not give up. The story is saying that nothing can stop anyone of anything they set their mind to because they already have their mind set on accomplishing that goal.

  1. This is a good start. Sounds a bit like a summary and not an essay but that can be fixed easily. I am sure if the time wasn't so short you would be able to really show what you can really do(:
