Dwight constantly sets him up for ridicule. For example, he makes him “shuck” horse chestnuts without gloves, which is an incredibly difficult task. His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.
Summary of the Time Period, Author’s Focus, and Purpose In the article “The Labor Problem at Jamestown, 1607-18,” written by Edmund S. Morgan, Jamestown had a major problem with labor. The citizens of Jamestown were lazy and wouldn’t work for their food, because their only intention was to look for gold. They’d rather play games than work in the field.

Eventually, the citizens grew tired of this and forced Indians to do their labor for them.

Obviously, something wasn’t working if the Great Depression came to be. In this sense, men felt emasculated; their instinctual desire to be the breadwinner became an impossible dream. In The Grapes of Wrath, as in history, women rise up when their families’ well being is threatened. This is seen when Ma becomes the noticeable “head of the house”, and also when Rose of Sharon is the only person capable of helping the young boy’s father. My peers forget the importance of maternity, and instead view simple things such as breastfeeding as crude and inappropriate.
