The man at first seems kind and helpful asking Goodman if he needed to borrow his staff to help him walk faster on his journey, Goodman does decline at this time.

Brown explains to the man about how tells the man that his family members have been Christians and good people for generations and that he feels ashamed to associate with him.
People need connections with others, but these connections are not always what brings them to their absolute highest level of happiness. Chris proceeded to record his personal thoughts in his journal, further proving to the reader the point that personal connections are not essential to happiness. “I now walk out and live amongst the wild. Take care, it was great knowing you.” (69), Chris wrote on a card sent to two generous people, Jan and Bob Burres. How briefly this sentence was written and how easily the “good-bye” was said to the couple that took him in and gave him supplies, Chris had displayed that his desire to be on his own was greater than his desire for theirs or anyone’s, friendship.
Valerie Montanez January 23, 2014 Period 1 The separation between nature and people is becoming more distinct with each generation. In the passage, “Last Child in the Woods”, Richard Louv is arguing against the gap between the two by effectively using imagery, repetition, hyperboles, dialogue, metaphors, and rhetorical questions. Louv provided the example of his friend declining the car salesman’s offer of the “backseat television monitor” and seeing his “jaw drop” in amazement. He used dialogue to support his argument and provide another person’s view on how hypocritical and disconnected people are becoming.

Also, I am so used to driving the truck with the speedometer being off that I didn’t think much of it driving the car. That’s my fault though for not paying attention, I apologize.” He gave me a foolish look like what a stupid blonde, then he looked at Dallas. “She’s telling the truth, the truck is off.” Dallas piped up.
This would be considered now as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and at the time nobody knew how to truly help him with his problem especially on the reservation. Lyman gives Henry the convertible to hopefully cheer Henry up somehow. And from there Henry makes repairs and improves a tad bit.

Jasmine Zamora Professor Izaquirre English 6015 January 31, 2013 “Love in L.A.” by Dagoberto Gilb Plot: “Love in L.A.” is a story that is set on the streets of Los Angeles in the heat of traffic. Our characters are Jake and Mariana. Ironically, while Jake is sitting in traffic, imagining about all of this freedom that he has, he collides with the car that is in front of him. For Jake it took a fender bender for his freedom to swell up. Even his license plate had “expired so long ago,” that he got one from the junkyard.
Even though most Okies were low on money and didn’t have space in their cars, they let others in need join them. As Ma says to Casy when he asks if he could go along “Why, we’d be proud to have you” (Steinbeck 101). This shows the Joads would accept a man in need into their family. The Joads accept him because they say it would be good to have a preacher along with them. Later in the story, the Joads come across the Wilsons.
