The Grapes of Wrath Structure Analysis
Instructions: Take a look at your annotations from The Grapes of Wrath. As
you've learned, the vignettes in the novel emerge to become Steinbeck's
personal "claims" to defend a bigger thesis contained within the novel. The
chapters detailing the Joad family serve as support for those claims; they
function as the evidence for Steinbeck's claims.
Choose six other examples of vignette/claim and narrative/support pairs and
complete the chart below. An example has been completed for you.
Structure
Choose six vignettes from the novel and, for each, summarize the claim
Steinbeck appears to be presenting within them. Then identify which
narrative chapters or events from the novel help to support that claim.
Make sure you use direct quotes from the novel and cite your support by
referencing the chapters in which they appear. An example has been
completed for you.
Make sure that you provide at least two vignettes from each "section" of
the novel:
● The Joads in Oklahoma (Chapters One through Eleven)
● The Joads's Journey to California (Chapters Twelve through TwentyOne)
● The Joads in California (Chapters Twenty-Two through Thirty)
