Everyone is going to remember different things about the novels we have read. The point is to use those details that we remember to the best possible effect on the test. Looking over the notes for Grapes of Wrath I was reminded of this small detail.

At the beginning of the book, Tom (the son) talks about how his father would always wait to eat a pig, and by the time he was ready to butcher and eat it, the pig would have died of some disease. By contrast, Uncle John wouldn't save and would butcher a whole pig just because he had a sudden craving for pork.  In a sense, both were insane in their own way, one waiting for a promise that would never be fulfilled, the other not having the patience to wait.

 Easy stuff. 🙂
