This story is full of informal language, mostly because of the fact about the time period and the lifestyle of the characters. The words used were like southern slang which gave away the time setting of the story and also it helped with understanding the story with the different mental images . Characterization helped distinguish between different characters and how they act. In most cases, a job is held by the level of education and how well a person acts.

Rhetorical Analysis- The Grapes of Wrath “You don’ know what you’re a-doin’,” were Casy’s last words before he died as a martyr. Casy died for his cause, his belief that the elite were not truly aware of how their greed was causing the suffering of the weak and that the weak could only surpass their sorrows if they worked together. Steinbeck uses chapter 25 of Grapes of Wrath to portray this very message. Steinbeck uses an array of rhetorical devices such as symbolism and the use of a instructive…
