  • Unlikely Transfusions: Wise Blood and the Grapes of Wrath John D
    Unlikely Transfusions: Wise Blood and The Grapes of Wrath John D. Seelye Steinbeck Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 41-45 (Article) Published by The Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/stn.2004.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/172420 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] UNLIKELY TRANSFUSIONS: WISE BLOOD AND THE GRAPES OF WRATH JOHN SEELYE THE LIST OF AMERICAN AUTHORS whose novels are in- debted for situations and materials (and popularity) to the novels and stories of John Steinbeck is impressive, from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s The Yearling and Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka. I would like to add Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, a text clearly inspired by the surreal ironies of Nathaniel West and one that would seem to be whole worlds apart from the re- alistic, empathetic zone created by Steinbeck. Indeed, I had been teaching both Wise Blood and Of Mice and Men in an un- dergraduate course on the novella for a year or two before the possibility of a connection became clear, not with the story of Lennie and George but with the much more ambitious epic of the Joad family. Tom Joad’s return home from a stretch in prison for manslaughter is a memorable beginning for Steinbeck’s novel, starting with his angry response to a truck driver’s curiosity and ending as he stands in front of the Joad house, abandoned in the wake of the great dust storms of the Depression years in Okla- homa.

  • 8Th Grade Summer Reading Log
    May 1, 2021 Dear St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School Families, Fostering a love of reading has many rewards! As your children assemble next year as the 8th grade class of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School, we will join in the common purpose of growing in knowledge and faith through the love of books! So, throughout the summer, let us be connected through books in the magnificent world of reading. As rising 8th graders, there will be two parts to summer reading: • Over the summer students will read two books: one classic from the attached reading list and one biography or autobiography of their choice. Students should record their reading on the attached reading log, which will be due the first full week of school. Reading logs will be used toward the grade on an in-class literature project. • During the first weeks of school, students will complete the in-class literature project. It will focus on character, setting, conflict/resolution, and theme from one of their chosen books. It would be helpful for the students to either have a copy of the book or have notes on the five elements listed above to complete this project. We hope this requirement will encourage your child to continue reading over the summer. We look forward to seeing you and your child in the fall! Happy Reading! Eighth Grade Teachers Classics List • The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett • A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett • My Antonia by Willa Cather • Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie • Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne • 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne • The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle • The Call of the Wild by Jack London • Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank • Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury • The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S.
