John Steinbeck took the name for his novel from a very well-known song in US History "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".
First read through the lyrics and talk with your group about where the title came from. Then lsten to the song as you read the lyrics again and see if the tone of the music helps you decide why he chose a line from THIS SONG to represent 570+ pages....

An Intro to the Grapes of Wrath
The situation:
Due to a situation beyond your control,your family is being forced to leave the only home you have ever known; the home where you and your siblings have all grown up; the home where you come to at the end of a long day when you just need a place where you feel safe; home....
The dilemma:
You cannot take everything with you. There is very limited space in the truck that will move your family, so you have to prioritize what you will take and what you will leave.
The questions:
What do you take with you and why?
And what things would be the hardest to leave behind?
