 **Grapes of Wrath: Chapter 5**

The spokesmen for the land owners say that th bank is a monster to convince the farmerss that they have to do what it wantsand there is no other option than to feed it land or it will die.

//"The Bank-or the Company - needs - wants - insists - must have - as though the Bank or the Company were a monster, with thought and feeling, which had ensnared them... The Bank - the monster has to have profits all the time. It can't wait. It'll die. No, taxes go on. When the monster stops growing it dies. It can't stay one size...We don't like to do it. But ht emonster's sick. Something's happened to the monster... It's not us. It's the monster. The bank isn't like a man. Yes, but the bank is only made of men...The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it...No. The bank, the monster owns it. You'll have to go...You'll be stealing if you try to stay, you'll be murders if you kill to stay. The monster isn't men, but it can men do what it wants.//


 * Gettysburg** **Address**

The United States is compared to a growing person, so letting the country fall apart is like killing a someone. This makes Lincoln’s argument more convincing

// Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. // // But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that **this nation**, under God, **shall have a new birth of freedom** -- and that **government** of the people, by the people, for the people, **shall not perish** from the earth. //
 * //Four score and seven years ago//**// our fathers brought forth on this continent, **a new** **nation,conceived in Liberty,** and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. //

A mother says her son’s personality is like that of a bat. This makes the poem humorous and creates interesting imagery. //My son is a bat. His eyes blink when darkness comes. His body stirs with life. His limbs gorge with blood as he sets out through the cave of night his roof the stars the moon a big white eye watching. Attracted by the false lights he mingles with his batty friends weaving in and out of nightclubs endless parties each other’s places till sensing the sudden ebb of darkness he flutters home a cloaked Dracula to the hollow of his room where he will sleep all day //
