Farming became Industry /Correction
Message de raflop posté le 20-12-2010 à 20:53:25 (S | E | F)
Bonjour, j'ai un commentaire à rendre sur un extrait abrégé de THE GRAPES OF WRATH de J.Steinbeck. Je voudrais avoir une correction s'il vous plait et pourquoi pas un avis sur celui-ci.
Merci.
This document is an extract abridged from a novel entitled "The Grapes of Wrath". It was written by John Steinbeck in 1939, at the end of the Great Depression.
The main idea developed in this extract is the transformation of the society which was based before on the farming and it is now the industry which dominate widely.
We will analyze the author's reasoning :
-First, Steinbeck's view into the history of lands
-Second, The example of a life during this period by a homeless family
-Third, what could happen to the great owners
In this presentation, I will follow the structure of this extract and at the same time study what wants to formulate the author.
PART 1 :
In paragraph one, which begin like a tale ("Once California belonged to Mexico" l1), we have in outline what happened at California's lands. We learn that these lands which were proprieties of Mexicans were conquer by Americans ("and a horde of Americans poured in" l2).
But Americans didn't just cultivate lands like Mexicans before but they decided to count their crops in dollars and so, their jobs changed, they are now shopkeepers !
The last sentence of this paragraph is very demonstrative of the transformation bring on by Americans : "Farming became industry"(l7)
In paragraph two, the author focus on Mexicans who where dispossessed. He explains what happened to them, they were scatter in many states : "Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,New Mexico,Nevanda and Arkansans"(l8-9). But worst, they are now homeless and hungry ...
Part 2 :
In paragraph three, we have a homeless hungry family, maybe the author create them to illustrate how the life is difficult ... We learn that they travelled by roads together and that children are thin ("his thin children in the back seat" l12). To accentuate the predigment of the family, we can read that they are looking to lands with golden oranges but they can't try to pick it because many guards are patrolling with shotguns (l17).
Moreover, we understand that if fruits can't bring some profit, they will dumped it ...
In paragraph four, there is just two sentences, but they are full of meanings : "Where can we sleep the night" it shows all the distress of the family !
In paragraph five, John Steinbeck insists on Hooverville (three repetitions : l22,23 & 26). He explains what is really these Hooverville. We can see that there are in many places ("on the edge of every river"l22-23;"on the edge of every town"l23-24) and they are composed of tents and paper houses. For the author it's a "great junk pile"l25-26.
In paragraphs 6 and 7, we have a dialogue between the man of the family and an other man. They are speaking about the father's situation and his family.
In paragraphs 8 and 9, We learn that "the squatters" must leave their places because people burn down their camp.
Homeless are compared as "ants"(l41). It means that they try to save what thay can before all must be burnt ...
Part 3 :
In paragraph 10, The author wants to show that homeless aren't weaks, on the contrary, the great owners must be suspicious ! John Steinbeck sides with poors people ! He means that owners are arrogants, they don't think that homeless can be unite. They forget "three cries of history"(l43-44).
-When the power is just between some hands, it must be taken away.
-When most of people are hungry and cold they generally take the power by force
-The repression always reinforce links between repressed ("strenghten and knit the repressed"l50)
For the author, if this situation continue like that, every people who are repressed must be revolted and they will take the power by violence.
In paragraph 11, There is an explication about how is spend the money when there is an opposition between repressed and leadership. People who have the power buy arms, they protect gr

In paragraph 11, There is an explication about how is spend the money when there is an opposition between repressed and leadership. People who have the power buy arms, they protect great holdings by gas and finally, they buy spies to hear every murmuring of revolt.
In this extract, the author shows the the difficult lifes of homeless and hungry families. We can see early that he sides with poors (he says that Americans are a horde line 2).
I personally think that the author is right because many people were private of their lands and so their crops ...
Nowadays, many Americans are richs because their ancestors take lands to Mexicans by force and they became homeless and hungry.

We will analyze the author's reasoning :who are 'we'

Voila ma premiere correction suite a l'aide de Laure
(il me reste une erreur en rouge que je n'arrive pas à corriger):This document is an extract abridged from a novel entitled "The Grapes of Wrath". It was written by John Steinbeck in 1939, at the end of the Great Depression.
The main idea developed in this extract is the transformation of the society which was based before on farming and it is now industry which dominates widely.
We will analyze the author's reasoning :
-First, Steinbeck's view on the history of lands
-Second, The example of a life during this period by a homeless family
-Third, what could happen to the great owners
In this presentation, I will follow the structure of this extract and at the same time I will study what the author wants to formulate
PART 1 :
In paragraph one, which begins like a tale ("Once California belonged to Mexico" l1), we have in outline what happened in California's lands. We learn that these lands which were the proprieties of Mexicans were conquered by Americans ("and a horde of Americans poured in" l2).
But Americans didn't just cultivate lands like Mexicans before but they decided to count their crops in dollars and so, their jobs changed, they are now shopkeepers !
The last sentence of this paragraph is very demonstrative of the transformation brought on by Americans : "Farming became industry"(l7)
In paragraph two, the author focuses on Mexicans who where dispossessed. He explains what happened to them, they were scattered in many states : "Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,New Mexico,Nevanda and Arkansans"(l8-9). But worst, they are now homeless and hungry ...
Part 2 :
In paragraph three, we have a homeless hungry family, maybe the author created them to illustrate how difficult the life is ... We learn that they travelled by car together and that children are thin ("his thin children in the back seat" l12). To accentuate the predigment of the family, we can read that they are looking lands with golden oranges but they can't try to pick some fruits because many guards are patrolling with shotguns (l17).
Moreover, we understand that if fruits can't bring some profit, they will dumped it ...
In paragraph four, there are just two sentences, but they are full of meaning : "Where can we sleep the night" it shows all the distress of the family !
In paragraph five, John Steinbeck insists on Hooverville (three repetitions : l22,23 & 26). He explains what is really these (THESE: démonstratif pluriel + problème de construction) Hooverville. We can see that there are in many places ("on the edge of every river"l22-23;"on the edge of every town"l23-24) and they are composed of tents and paper houses. For the author it's a "great junk pile"l25-26.
In paragraphs 6 and 7, we have a dialogue between the man of the family and an other man. They are speaking about the father's situation and his family.

Voici la deuxieme partie de la correction :
Part 3 :
In paragraph 10, The author wants to show that homeless aren't weak, on the contrary, the great owners must be suspicious ! John Steinbeck sides with poor people ! He means that owners are arrogant, they don't think that homeless can be united . They forget "three cries of history"(l43-44).
-When the power is just among some hands, it must be taken away.
-When most of people are hungry and cold they generally take the power by force
-The repression always reinforces links between repressed ("strenghten and knit the repressed"l50)
For the author, if this situation is continuing like that, every people who are repressed will be revolted and they will take the power by violence.
In paragraph 11, There is an explication about how the money is spent is spend the money when there is an opposition between repressed and the leaders . People who have the power buy arms, they protect great holdings by gas and finally, they buy spies to hear every murmuring of revolt.
In this extract, the author shows the the difficult lives of homeless and hungry families. We can see early that he sides with the poor (he says that Americans are a horde line 2).
I personally think that the author is right because many people were privated of their lands and so their crops ...
Nowadays, many Americans are rich because their ancestors take lands to Mexicans by force and they become homeless and hungry.
