Final Discussions

Tuesday/ Wednesday
OMM Quiz

Review/ discuss the end of the novel

Big Question:  Were George's actions justified?

Quotation analysis: 

Hurst wrote, "I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death."  




 How do both authors (Hurst and Steinbeck) use this quote to springboard his concept of "pride" throughout the story?  (If you look closely, you will see that the authors refers to pride several times in each of their works (Hurst directly and Steinbeck indirectly).  

**To answer this question, you must locate the original quote listed above.  Next, find several references of "Pride" in both stories.  Why does the authors continuously refer to pride throughout their stories?  What does pride mean to the authors/ the characters?

Explain the quote using examples from the stories.  Both stories have many similarities.

(You may write in first or third person.  If you use first person, you will be writing from the narrator's point of view.....You can be the narrator of this journal)
