The Grapes of Wrath (Excerpt) by John Steinbeck

The owners of the land came onto the land, or more often a spokesman for the owners came. They came in closed cars, and they felt the dry earth with their fingers, and sometimes they drove big earth augers into the ground for soil tests. The tenants, from their sun-beaten dooryards, watched uneasily when the closed cars drove along the fields. And at last the owner men drove into the dooryards and sat in their cars to talk out of the windows. The tenant men stood beside the cars for a while, and then squatted on their hams and found sticks with which to mark the dust. In the open doors, the women stood looking out, and behind them the children— corn-headed children, with wide eyes, one bare foot on top of the other bare foot, and the toes working. The women and the children watched their men talking to the owner men. They were silent… 

The owner men sat in the cars and explained. “You know the land is poor. You’ve scrabbled at it long enough, God knows.” The tenant men nodded and wondered and drew figures in the dust, and yes, they knew, God knows. If the dust only wouldn’t fly. If the top would only stay on the soil, it might not be so bad. The owner men went on leading to their point: “You know the land’s getting poorer. You know what cotton does to the land; robs it, sucks all the blood out of it.” The tenants nodded—they knew, God knew. If they could only rotate the crops they might pump blood back into the land. Well, it’s too late… 

The tenant men raised their eyes to understand. “Can’t we just hang on? Maybe the next year will be a good year. God knows how much cotton next year. And with all the wars—God knows what price cotton will bring. Don’t they make explosives out of cotton? And uniforms? Get enough wars and cotton will hit the ceiling. Next year, maybe.” They looked up questioningly. “We can’t depend on it. The bank—the monster has to have profits all the time. It can’t wait. It’ll weaken…” The tenant men looked down again. “What do you want us to do? We can’t take less share of the crop—we’re half-starved now. The kids are hungry all the time. We got no clothes, torn and ragged. If all the neighbours weren’t the same, we’d be ashamed to go to meetings.” 

And at last the owner men came to the point. “The tenant system won’t work anymore. One man on a tractor can take the place of twelve or fourteen families. Pay him a wage and take all the crop. We have to do it. We don’t like to do it… “But you’ll affect the land with cotton.” “We know. We’ve got to take cotton quickly before the land dies. Then we’ll sell the land. Lots of families in the East would like to own a piece of land.” The tenant men looked alarmed. “But what’ll happen to us? How’ll we eat?” “You’ll have to get off the land. The ploughs will go through the dooryard…” 

And now the tenant men stood up angrily. “Grampa took up the land, and he had to be cruel to the old tenants and drive them away. And Pa was born here, and he removed weeds and snakes… An’ we was born here. There in the door—our children born here. And Pa had to borrow money. The bank owned the land then, but we stayed and we got a little bit of what we raised…It’s our land. We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it.. Even if it’s no good, it’s still ours. That’s what makes it ours—being born on it, working it, resting on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it…”

And now the owner men grew angry. “You’ll have to go…” “But it’s ours,” the tenants cried. “But if we go, where’ll we go? How’ll we go? We got no money.” “We’re sorry,” said the owner men… “You’re on land that isn’t yours. Once over the line maybe you can pick cotton in the fall. Maybe you can go on relief. Why don’t you go west to California? There’s work there, and it never gets cold. Why, you can reach out anywhere and pick an orange. Why, there’s always some kind of crop to work in. Why don’t you go there?” And the owner men started their cars and rolled away.

What is the climax in the story?

The Lonely Fight by Edgar A. Guest

It’s easy to be right when the multitude is cheering,

It is easy to have courage when you’re fighting with the throng;

But it’s altogether different when the multitude is sneering

To fight for what you know is right with no one else along.

It’s easy to be honest when the multitude is gazing. 5

It is easy to be truthful when the crowds are standing by;

But it’s altogether different when there is no spotlight blazing

To stand alone for what is right and never cheat or lie.

What is the main theme of the poem?

What does lines 2 and 3 mean?

Respect

Respect is a wide-ranging word. Experts have different ideas about what it means. 13…………………… It could also mean something that is very important or respected. Respect is a sign of doing the right thing. Respect has lost some of its importance in the modern world, which is sad. Respect is most important because it has two important parts. These are having respect for yourself and for other people.

Self-respect means loving yourself and acting in a way that is honourable and dignified. It shows that you respect yourself. If a person has Self-Respect, he or she will treat themselves with respect. Also, not having Self-Respect is a shameful thing. 14…………………… This is because nobody likes to show respect to such a person.

When you don’t respect yourself, bad things happen. People treat someone who doesn’t have self-respect like a doormat. Also, this kind of person may have bad habits. Also, this kind of person has very little self-confidence. 15…………………… A person like this also starts to live in a sloppy and messy way. Self-respect is a sign of being tough and sure of yourself. When a person has self-respect, they tend to take on more responsibility. Also, this kind of person would have a strong personality. Also, this kind of person always stands up for his rights, values, and opinions.

Having self-respect makes a person more moral. This person has a good moral character. So, having respect for yourself makes you a better person. Self-respect takes away the need to compare yourself to others. This means that people don’t have to compare themselves to other people. 16…………………… Most importantly, they do this to try to get approval from other people. All of that stops when you gain self-respect.

Everyone must have respect for other people. This is an important part of living in a community. We owe everyone at least a basic level of respect. Also, people who have an effect on our lives deserve the respect they deserve. 17……………………

Listening is one of the best ways to show respect for other people. Respecting someone is easy when you listen to their point of view. 18…………………… Religion and politics are another important part of respecting others. People’s religious and cultural views should be given a lot of thought. Respecting the religions of other people is definitely a sign of maturity. Respect is a big part of how people learn to get along with each other. It is a very valuable thing that must be kept safe. Respect is important for people to stay alive.

Understanding Dyslexia

Each child learns and grows at his or her own pace, and reading is no different from learning other skills. At some point or another, most kids will find reading hard. But if a child has trouble learning to read over and over again and falls behind their peers, it’s possible that they have dyslexia, a learning disorder.

Most of the time, people with dyslexia have trouble learning to read. It makes it harder for a child to recognise and use the sounds that make up language. Kids with dyslexia have trouble decoding new words or breaking them up into pieces they can then sound out. This makes it hard for people to read, write, and spell. They may try to make up for it by memorising words, but they won’t be able to recognise new words and may take a long time to find even words they know.

Dyslexia is not a sign of how smart a child is. Instead, it is the difference between what a student is capable of and what they actually do. Some kids with dyslexia can keep up with their peers, at least for the first few grades, if they work harder. But around the third grade, when they need to read quickly and easily to keep up with their work, they have trouble. Students with dyslexia can learn to read and do well in school if they get help and learn ways to make up for how bad they are at decoding. But dyslexia isn’t something that goes away when you get older.

It is thought that up to one in five children have dyslexia, and that 80–90% of children with learning disorders also have it. Sally Shaywitz, MD, co-director of the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity, says that many kids don’t get diagnosed because their problems in school are wrongly put down to their intelligence, level of effort, or the environment. Experts used to say that dyslexia was more common in boys than in girls, but new research shows that boys and girls are both affected by it.

Dyslexia makes it hard to read, but it can also make it hard for a child to make friends. Scott Bezsylko, the executive director of Winston Preparatory School, which teaches kids with learning disorders, says, “A dyslexic person who has trouble finding words can have trouble expressing themselves in language.” “That affects your social life, and it makes you feel bad about yourself. You also have trouble reading and writing.”

Kids with dyslexia, especially those who haven’t been diagnosed yet, often have low self-esteem because they think something is wrong with them. They are also often told they aren’t trying hard enough to learn to read. Beszylko says, “A lot of what we do with dyslexic kids is help them remember that they are smart and capable, because they’ve stopped believing in themselves.”

If a child has dyslexia, that doesn’t mean he or she will never learn to read. Dr. Cruger says there are a number of helpful programmes. Dr. Cruger says that traditional tutoring might not be helpful for a child with dyslexia, especially if it is not a good experience. “If the child doesn’t like getting help with reading, it’s not helpful,” says Dr. Cruger. “And it doesn’t fix the cause of the problem, which is a weakness in decoding.” 

Instead, Dr. Cruger says that making kids with dyslexia more comfortable reading is one of the best ways to help them. This can be done in part by making a big deal out of even small wins and successes and putting less emphasis on fixing their mistakes.

One of the best ways to help a child with dyslexia or any child who is having trouble is to encourage her to do things she likes and is good at, like music, sports, or anything else that helps her feel good about herself. Talking about successful people with dyslexia, like Whoopi Goldberg and Steven Spielberg, can also help. Audio books and text-to-speech innovation can also aid dyslexic pupils in learning since these technologies do not require the student to read words. 

How does dyslexia affect a child’s ability to sound out words?

Beszylko says, “A lot of what we do with dyslexic kids is help them remember that they are smart and capable, because they’ve stopped believing in themselves.”

If a child has dyslexia, that doesn’t mean he or she will never learn to read. Dr. Cruger says there are a number of helpful programmes. Dr. Cruger says that traditional tutoring might not be helpful for a child with dyslexia, especially if it is not a good experience. “If the child doesn’t like getting help with reading, it’s not helpful,” says Dr. Cruger. “And it doesn’t fix the cause of the problem, which is a weakness in decoding.” 

Instead, Dr. Cruger says that making kids with dyslexia more comfortable reading is one of the best ways to help them. This can be done in part by making a big deal out of even small wins and successes and putting less emphasis on fixing their mistakes.

One of the best ways to help a child with dyslexia or any child who is having trouble is to encourage her to do things she likes and is good at, like music, sports, or anything else that helps her feel good about herself. Talking about successful people with dyslexia, like Whoopi Goldberg and Steven Spielberg, can also help. Audio books and text-to-speech innovation can also aid dyslexic pupils in learning since these technologies do not require the student to read words. 

Which do you think is NOT a reason why the article suggests that talking about successful people with dyslexia can also help those who have dyslexia?
