In Ireland a farmer was recently kicked off his farm: Bank sold his debt to a vulture fund and they started (quasi-legally) repossessing it by sending in security and removing him by force.
A few nights later the security occupying the farm was attacked and their vehicles were burned out. They left and haven't been back.
Sounds like the way The Grapes of Wrath should have ended.
As I recall, the novel mentions that some farmers stayed and fought, but they were ineffective and the protagonists did not stay and fight.
While written by a jew, Grapes of Wrath was the best book I was forced to read in high school. I loved that book.
Steinbeck was a jew? That's news to me
He's a good author. He constantly stirs the class conflict pot but aside from that they're good books.
Steinbeck being a Jew could explain why Jim Casy is a "bizzaro world" version of Jesus Christ who becomes a martyr for communism.
I agree that it was definitely up there in quality among the mandatory reading for high schoolers.
