AN UNDAUNTED JOURNEY
|
|
|
|
Through out history man has made many journeys, far and wide. Moses's
|
|
great march through the Red Sea and Columbus's transversing the Atlantic
|
|
are only, but a few of mans great voyages. Even today, great journeys are
|
|
being made. Terry Fox's run across Canada while having cancer is one of
|
|
these such journeys. In every one of these instances people have had to
|
|
rise above themselves and over come emence odds, similar to a salmon
|
|
swimming up stream to fullfill it's life line. Intense drive and extreme
|
|
fortitude are qualities they had to possess during their travels. In The
|
|
Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck shows the Joads endurance by his use of extended
|
|
metaphors in intercalary chapters.
|
|
|
|
Steinbeck uses intercalary chapters to provide background for the
|
|
various themes in the novel. This effectively forshadows upcoming events by
|
|
telling of the general state of the local population in the intercalary
|
|
chapters and then narrowing it down to how it effects the main characters
|
|
of the novel, the Joads. Setting the tone of the novel in the readers mind
|
|
is another function of Steinbeck's intercalary chapters.
|
|
|
|
In chapter three, Steinbeck emaculatly describes the long tedious
|
|
journey of a land turtle across a desolate highway. From the onset of his
|
|
journey, the turtle encounters many set backs. All along the way he is
|
|
hindered by ants, hills, and oak seeds under his shell. The turtles
|
|
determination to reach his destination is most apparent when a truck driven
|
|
by a young man swerves to hit the turtle. The turtle's shell was clipped
|
|
and he went flying off the highway, but stop the turtle did not. He
|
|
struggled back to his belly and kept driving toward his goal, just as the
|
|
Joads kept driving toward their goal.
|
|
|
|
Much like the turtle from chapter three, the Joads had to face many
|
|
great hardships in their travels. The planes of Oklahoma, with their harsh
|
|
summer weather, was the Joads desolate highway. The truck driver
|
|
represented the Californians, whom Buried food and killed live stock to
|
|
keep the Joads and others like them away from their dream. And sickness was
|
|
their ants and hills. But even through all of this the Joads persevered.
|
|
They were driven by great motivating powers - poverty and hunger. Just as
|
|
the turtle searched for food, the Joads were searching for paradise, "the
|
|
garden of Eden."
|
|
|
|
The Joad's journey is second to none in terms of adversity and length.
|
|
The Joads incredible ability to over come all odds and keep going is
|
|
epitomized in intercalary chapter three. Steinbeck uses his rendition of
|
|
facts, the "turtle" chapter, to parallel the Joads struggle to reach the
|
|
promise land. Just as the turtle endured, so did the Joads. Never
|
|
digressing from their strait and narrow path to California.
