The author in this book is mostly trying to get at the point of getting revenge isn 't as sweet as you think it might be. But to Daniel he thinks it will be sweeter than tea and better than anything he has ever done in his life.

One example of when this happens is when Daniel 's parents are killed by the prayer and he is out for revenge,but the one thing he doesn 't know is that his parents were working with the prayer and helping him to eliminate the aliens on the list but when the prayer wants the list back his parents wont to give it back because Daniel will need it for the later journey in life. Another example of this is when he is in greenville and he is walking with this girl he met and the alien outlaws working for number seven come and try to kill them and they think they have found them but what they don 't realize is that it was all a trap and they were going to get killed but he had the girl there and he didn 't want her to know who he really was and what really was.

Another place this happens is when Daniel sees most of the creations that the alien outlaws are making to do whatever they want to do he thinks that there some kind of evil contraption that will do something to the human race to wipe it out or just take over earth.The final point that the author might be trying to show is that don’t get attached to things if you know you 're going to be leaving them soon. One example of this is when Daniel got too attached to klonder (the son of number seven and eight) and when he had to leave tokyo to go help his fellow alien hunter s he was sad because he had been attached to him and he was one of the only friends that have meant something to

    In the Great Depression era novel The Grapes of Wrath John Steinbeck deploys descriptive language to convey Man’s perseverance. For example in chapter 3 Steinbeck describes Man’s perseverance by using a turtle and it struggles to represent the Joad family’s struggles.

  • The Grapes Of Wrath Chapter 5 Analysis

    In The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, the chapters alternate between two perspectives of a story. One chapter focuses on the tenants as a whole, while the other chapter focuses specifically of a family of tenants, the Joads, and their journey to California. Chapter 5 is the former and Steinbeck does an excellent job of omniscient third person point of view to describe the situation. Chapter 5’s main idea is to set the conflict and let the readers make connections between Steinbeck’s alternating chapters with foreshadowing. Steinbeck is effectual in letting readers make connections both to the world and the text itself with the use of exposition, and symbolism.
