Section 1
Free Will and Fate:
He mourned the fact he could not be a permanent soldier but he could not imagine any any
career for his sons except the army (Steinbeck 19).
This quote is foreshadowing the fate that one of cyruss sons will be force to join the army
because of cyruss wishes. Later we learn that son is Adam because Cyrus feels the army will let
loose things in charles that he feels needs to be contained.
Theyll first strip off your clothes They'll shuck off any little dignity you have--- you'll lose
what you think of as your decent right to live and to be let alone to live. They'll make you live
and eat and sleep and **** close to other men. And when they dress you up again you'll not be
able to tell yourself from the others (Steinbeck 25).
This quote symbolizes the loss of free will Adam faces while being forced to join the army and
while having to participate in the: violence, fighting, and killings, army life entailed. We will
later on see how this loss of free will or sense of self effects Adam after his 5 years in the
Cavalry is finished.
Seems like to me theres something not finished. Seems like when you half finished a job and
can't think what it was. Something didn't get done (Steinbeck 37).

This quote foreshadows charles fate. Charles has unfinished business and when there is
unfinished business it has to be finished. It is charles fate to finish this unfinished business. and
once we can realize cal is charles in the second generation we know it is truly his fate to finish it.
Knowledge:
He felt a man should learn soldiering from the ranks, as he had. Then he would know what it
was about from experience, not from charts and textbooks.
This quote is about cyrus thinking the best way to gain knowledge is from experience not from
textbooks.

3. Seems like to me theres something not finished. Seems like to me when you half finish a job
and can't think what it was. Something didn't get done (Steinbeck 37)
This quote is very unsettling in the context it was spoken and helps the author set up a ominous
and uneasy mood for the rest of the novel as well as foreshadows to charless/cals fate because he
has to finish the job that he didn't finish.
When a child first catches adults out----when it first walks into his grave little head that adults
do not have divine intelligence,that their judgements are not always wise, their thinking true, their
sentences just---his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And
there is one thing about the fall of the gods. they crash and shatter . it is a tedioe job to build

them up again they never quite shine. And the childs world is never quite whole again.
(Steinbeck 19-20)
This is a beautiful quote explaining feelings and emotions a child goes through once they realize
adults are not always as: perfect,wise,kind, or even godly as they may seem when you are a very
young child. Adam could relate to the feelings of this quote when he caught his father out and
realized his father was not a great man. He also realized his fathers training methods were only
used to make him a better man, not to benefit Adam or his brother.
4. Provide at least 2 questions

Section 2
Free Will and Fate
there are monsters born in the world to human parents.Some you can see,misshapen and
horrible...They are accidents and no ones fault(Steinbeck 72).

these monsters will be born making it fate when they are born into the world. We also learn about

the other kind of monster born into the world in this section not the kind you can see but the
mentally and morally unstable type of monsters such as, Charles and Cathy.
It is my belief that Cathy Ames was born with the tendencies or lack of them, which drove and
forced her all of her life(Steinbeck 72).
The author telling us he thinks Cathy was born a monster and or without tendencies
foreshadows that Cathy does not have a good fate. The author also says she will be drove and
force by these lack of tendencies her whole life also foreshadows to cathies fate.
And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable
thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it
wishes, undirected. And this is what i must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which
limits or destroys free will(Steinbeck 132)
This quote shows that the author has a very strong view about free will, and fits into the idea of
choosing our own fate/destiny.
Knowledge
Cathy learned when she was young that sexuality . is the most disturbing impulse humans
have . Cathy learned that by the manipulation and use of this one part of people she could gain
and keep power over nearly anyone(Steinbeck 75).

By learning this about people cathy was able to manipulate many people throughout the story with

sexuallity.
Biblical Allusions
3.
Monsters are variations from the accepted normal to be a greater or a less degree. As a child
may be born without an arm, so one may be born without kindness or the potential of conscience
(Steinbeck 72).
Cathy proves that she is a monster and manipulator and may have indeed been born without
kindness or conscience throughout this section. Earlier on in the section we learn that Cathy was
indeed a variation from the accepted normal that there was something uneasy and unsettling
about Cathy, and as the section goes on we learn even more unsettling things about Cathy that
would classify her a monster. We learn that she is a liar and manipulator, she set the boys up,
and she killed her parents.
It is my belief that Cathy was born with tendencies or lack of them,which drove and forced her
all her life. Some balanced wheel was misweighted, some gear out of ratio. She was not like other
people, never was from birth. And just as a cripple learn to utilize his lack so that he becomes
more effective in a limited field than the uncrippled, so did Cathy using her difference, make a
painful and bewildering stir in the world(Steinbeck 72-73).
