In preparation for GOW Writing assignment #2, today's journal is a quote analysis from part 1 of the novel. Your task is to analyse this quote for its literal/figurative meaning, the message it has (who said it, why he said it, what the context was for the quote, etc)for the story as a whole, and Steinbeck's intention in writing it.
"This here is my country. I b'long here. An' I don't give a goddamn if they's
oranges an' grapes crowdin' a fella outa bed even. I ain't a−goin."
