Due Early in January ...

Find three quotes in The Grapes of Wrath that might help you answer the question "What, if anything, is society's obligation to the poor?"

For each quotation, include the page number and enough context to help you establish the source effectively.

Typed. Of course.

While I'm at it, here are the texts we will most likely be reading in January. Other than "The Communist Manifesto," they're all in The Language of Composition. Feel free - but not obligated - to read ahead.

"The Communist Manifesto" (excerpt) - Handout
"A Modest Proposal," by Jonathan Swift
"The Roots of Honor," by John Ruskin
"On Dumpster Diving," by Lars Eighner
"Serving in Florida," by Barbara Ehrenreich
"In the Strawberry Fields," by Eric Schlosser
"How to Restore the American Dream," by Fareed Zakaria
