2. “Migration,” as a theme, is at the center of The Vortex, Barren Lives, and The Grapes of Wrath. The act of migrating implies hope. How does hope fare against the backdrop of Determinism in these novels?

4. Both in Barren Lives and The Grapes of Wrath the authors assign no (definitive) proper names to some characters. Example: the two boys in Ramos’s text, and the waitress and the cook at the road diner (Ch. 15: “Minni or Susy or Mae;” “The cook is Joe or Carl or Al”). The lack of names suggests the writers’ desire to create social types rather than individualized characters. In which of the two novels nameless characters are also used to dehumanize them? Elaborate.

5. Epic is the spirit of the heroic struggle that characterizes the fight by Arturo Cova and the rubber tappers, and the Joad family. What or whom are they fighting against? Mention two epic aspects in these novels. Explain.

6. Describe how Ramos and Steinbeck portrait the law enforcement in their novels. What does the relationship between the police and the victims tell us as readers?

8. It is admissible to think that Barren Lives and The Grapes of Wrath do not produce any sense of an ending and that their narratives are then cyclical. If this premise is correct, please explain why. If you disagree with it, justify your answer as well.
