But I felt this choice but him front and center instead of the America he ostensibly set out to discover. I think I was struck by different aspects of the book the second time around. I will have to say, Steinbeck's observations in the 60's are sometime relevant now funny how things don't change but also towards the end, think might be an issue for what is going on in the world these days.

Paul, he went to Sauk Centre , the birthplace of writer Sinclair Lewis , but was disheartened to talk to locals at a restaurant who had no understanding of who Lewis was. Being tired and scruffy, he makes a deal with the hotel to borrow a room which hasn't been cleaned up after its last occupant, and once in the room investigates what the previous tenant, whom he refers to as "Harry," has left behind, constructing a half-grounded, half-fictional idea of him as a traveling businessman who hires a woman to spend the evening with, though Steinbeck believes neither enjoyed their time that much.

The dialogue was hilarious at times - It was also heartbreaking when faced with racial issues in the South. He reflects on rootedness, finds much to admire both ways, going and staying, and finds a secret language and camaraderie among truckers. Steinbeck avoided the most obvious tourist sites along the way, with Niagara Falls an exception. Who could bypass this miracle of nature? When Steinbeck visits his home state of California, he is equally dismayed. A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly.

He said the government makes a person feel small because it doesn't matter what you say, if it's not on paper and certified by an official, the government doesn't care. In all, he wrote twenty-five books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and several collections of short stories. Regardless of the level of truth that this book represents I was able to spend pages with the man John Steinbeck. Steinbeck's declining health and whether the novel is truly fact or just fiction is unimportant to me as I found it an insightful and entertaining ride during a tumultuous time in America.

  • The Context of of Mice and Men
    Of Mice and Men – Context The Context of Of Mice and Men Overview – Written in 1937 within the context of the Great Depression (began in 1929 and didn’t truly end until the Second World War began) and its effect on the Californian working class. – Steinbeck drew heavily from his own experiences as a teenage farm hand in California – he had lived through many of the same experiences as his characters. It also draws from his friendship with Ed Ricketts, an early proponent of ecological thinking. – Steinbeck was very political; he worked as a reporter prior to the publication of Tortilla Flat (his first commercially successful novel) and thought of farmers, landowners and bankers as immoral in the way by which they exploited workers. Of Mice and Men is an example of a social protest novel – in the tradition of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. However, where Of Mice and Men diverges from Uncle Tom’s Cabin is in its relative lack of idealism. – Steinbeck did not abide by the Romanticism (focus on human ideals, moral virtue, emotional sensibility) and was instead one of the first and most influential American proponents of literary realism. Rather than try and show the world as it could be, Steinbeck was interested in showing the world as it was. – His terse style was heavily influenced by his contemporary, Ernest Hemingway. He, much like Hemingway, focussed on themes such as masculinity and manliness; as evidenced by the book’s intense focus on what makes a man – often at the expense of its characterisation of women.

  • Defending Steinbeck: Morality, Philosophy, and Sentimentality in East of Eden
    Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ Defending Steinbeck: Morality, Philosophy, and Sentimentality in East of Eden Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Spring 2015 By Hannah Noël ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Erica Abrams Locklear ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Merritt Moseley Noël 2 In 1952, John Steinbeck published East of Eden, a sprawling, ambitious work built upon both monumental Biblical elements and deeply human themes grounded in reality. Intended to be his magnum opus, the book which “everything else [he had written had been] in a sense, practice for,” East of Eden received largely negative reviews upon its release (Oudenkirk 232). The New York Times called it, “Clumsy in structure and defaced by excessive melodramatics and much cheap sensationalism,” and literary critic Arthur Mizener claimed that, with this novel, “[Steinbeck’s] insight and talent cease to work and he writes like the author of any third-rate best-seller” (McElrath 399). Steinbeck’s literary reputation has long-suffered from reviews such as these, as well as from the accusation that he is a sentimentalist with a penchant for moralizing ethos which endows his work with ephemeral value. However, much of the criticism that has been leveled at East of Eden rests upon the established view among literary academics that all deep human emotion in a serious work should be labeled sentimental; furthermore, it assumes that sentimentalism is an inherently detrimental quality to any work, one that should be avoided at all costs.

  • The Function of Female Characters in . Steinbeck's Fiction: the Portrait of Curley's Wife in of Mice and Men
    UDK 821.111(73).09 Steinbeck J. THE FUNCTION OF FEMALE CHARACTERS IN . STEINBECK'S FICTION: THE PORTRAIT OF CURLEY'S WIFE IN OF MICE AND MEN Danica Cerce "Preferably a writer should die at about 28. Then he has a chance of being discovered. If he lives much longer he can only be revalued. I prefer discovery." So quipped the Nobel prize-winning American novelist John Steinbeck (1902-1968) to the British journalist Herbert Kretzmer in 1965. 1 Steinbeck died at the age of 66, however, as many critics have noted, there is still a lot about him to be discovered. It must be borne in mind that Steinbeck's reputation as the impersonal, objective reporter of striking farm workers and dispossessed migrants, or as the escapist popularizer of primitive folk, has needlessly obscured his intellectual background, imaginative power and artistic methods. Of course, to think of Steinbeck simply as a naive realist in inspiration and a straightforward journalist while his achievement as a writer extends well beyond the modes and methods of traditional realism or documentary presentation is to disregard the complexities of his art? For this reason, new readings and modern critical approaches constantly shed light on new sources of value in Steinbeck's work. Many book reviewers and academic critics became antagonistic toward the writer when he grew tired of being the chronicler of the Depression and went further afield to find new roots, different sources and different forms for his fiction. As their expectations were based entirely on his greatest novel, The Grapes of Wrath (1939), winner of the 1940 Pulitzer Prize, cornerstone of his 1962 Nobel prize award, and one of the most enduring works of fiction by any American author, Steinbeck's subsequent work during and after World War II understandably came as a startling shock.

  • John Steinbeck's America : America and a Mericans (1966), the Neglected Work
    Fac. Ltrs. Rev. （40）, Otemon Gakuin Univ., Dec. 30,2004 John Steinbeck's America : America and A mericans (1966), the Neglected Work Tsuyoshi ISHIHARA This essay will examine John Steinbeck's last work, America and Americans （1966）, as ａ cultural product which symbolizes the social milieu of America in the 1960s. First, it will clarify that America and Americans represents both critical and optimistic views on America shared by the public. Second, comparing it with his American travelogue Travels with Charley （1962）, we will discuss the transformation of his views on America during the sixties from pessimistic to optimistic. In this discussion, we will pay attention to his involvement to the public sphere in the sixties. Finally, we will consider four main reasons for which America and Americans has been ignored in academia in contrast with its public popularity･ John Steinbeck starts his last work, America and Americans （1966）, with the following notice : In text and pictures, this is ａ book of opinions, unashamed and individual It cannot even pretend to be objective truth. Of course it is opinion, conjecture, and speculation. What else could it be ？ But at least it is informed by America, and inspired by curiosity, impatience, some anger, and ａ passionate love of America and the Americansべ7） It is clear that this book is entirely different from standard scholarly books usually hiding authors' personal feelings respecting "objective truths." However, some scholars measured it by scholarly standard. One of the leading Steinbeck scholar, Warren French, for instance, says in his recent book on Steinbeck's non-fiction writings: ‥.Ｔｈｅmore serious structural weakness ...is his concluding with generalized and often stereotyped discussions of trends and tendencies in “American" development, with quite unrepresentative examples drawn from his own －23－ JohnSteinbeck's America : America and Americans (1966）,the Neglected Work experiencesべ110） The above criticism is true.
