The tenant men

In this context,

necessities vs. excess consumption

The banks simply want a profit they don't care who gets stepped on.

The tractor drivers were selfish only thinking about their own family. They go and take people's land and destroy it. Making other people starve and die.

Selfish Men

Consuming all

It consumes all but never eats. The tractor crushes the house, taking it in its wake. It doesn't care. Big companies don't care about individual people. Devoid of emotion.

Ethics of the land

Ethics of Capitalism

Those who were born on the land are a part of the land, they feel the land. When there is no rain, they weep, when there is a good harvest, they are happy. But these are broken with the new tractors who neither allow them to feel the land, but doesn't let them appreciate the land which they work.

Poison

The land

Capitalism is a harsh, biggest man wins world. The little guy gets thrown under the metaphorical (literal) tractor.

The tractors are evicting people off their land

to make their own money so other families can't make any.

Migrant Farmers

Tractors take advantage of the land in order to get the most profit out of it as possible. The tractors are the workhorses of the bank.

The bank is the monster, because they only care about money even thought it means destroying families

"The Monster"

MR. Cannell claims

The land is a character very much like the people who are uprooted from their homes, lives, and even families.

Autumn SwartzDyer 68 November 2013Autobiography 8FriendsI always thought that I would just have one friend in my life, only one hopeful soul that would like to stay with me and be my almost sister/brother and have such a close relationship with me that the bond between us wouldn't be broken. I never actually believed I would have more than one friend in my life or best friends, it was something that just never really happened to a girl like me, someone who is never really that important and is just quiet. But when eighth grade came upon me, people actually started wanting to hang out with me. It was unusual because my first year at western I only had one friend but then the next year I started coming out of shell of social insecurities with my class mates and became best friends with so many people. My first best friend of eight grade was a girl named Julia Vandyke, she was my locker buddy in seventh grade and slowly over time she became one of my closest friends. Shortly after Julia and I became friends it wasn't hard to talk to more people and make more friends, over all this time in eighth grade all the friends I made were Julia Vandyke, Shayla Williams, Katy Dryer, Nora Cole, Alex Bott, Hannah Patrick, and Erika Stephens. I had such a blast in eighth grade with all of them and I hope that fun would continue with them throughout the year. In ninth grade I joined the western theater and was in the ever so clever and funny Lil' Abner and soon my passion for theater became so much more than it already was. It  really impacted my life greatly and made me meet so many awesome people who are into the same things as I am, and are extremely nice. Some amazing people I met that year were Sebastian Wright, Parker Brue,  Haily Glinse, Grace Coffee, Hannah Riely, Carly Morrow, Emily Giffen, Rachel Barns, Tony Mayotte, Jake Mcracken and his nice girlfriend Alison, Kristin Vann, Sarah Downs, Audrey .F.C., Jessica Glick, Kimmy and Katey Berry, Megan Eddy, Alex Sponsler, and saving the very best for last, Parker Yikimoff, who became like an older brother to me all throughout my years here at Western High. Now moving onto Sophomore year and things started settling in with my new friends. Keeping all the friends I made since eighth grade and all the new ones I made last year, I felt extremely happy with my life at Western. Mostly Sophomore year was all about making memories with those friends now, and oh boy did we ever! Most of my Sophomore year was about talking about my three year crush on a particular kid ever since the end of seventh grade, and if you ask me, that ship has sailed now but in Sophomore year was when it was at it's biggest hipe. Other things I can recall enjoying from my Sophomore year is getting along with most of the people in my graduating class, and being able to call my self a theater person from more shows I did that year. But one of the relationships I would have to say I strengthened more then that rest was mine with Megan Eddy. When I first met her I thought she was a bit to peppy for me and then she cut her hair extremely short and became a bit too goth for me. I never really looked down on her but then again I never saw her as being one of my close friends. But once I really got to know her, it was like meeting a new sister, we were that close. And ever since then I can't see my life being without her. So from this experience at Western I have gained so many friends, secret sisters and brothers that were close friends but are now more and some soul mates that will never be forgotten or lost. I love them all and I wouldn't change the world for those relationships. God has truly blessed me and I love that he has given me family, and friends to share this wonderful life with.

Tractors

The tractors tear up the earth making it even less fertile there by causing people to be less able to grow their crops this then causes more tractors to come because the people are unable to pay the banks. That leaves the Midwest in a paradox.

Banks

Slaves

Symbolizes the bank and how it operates in the time period. It's sole purpose is to make money even if it means moving people out of their homes.

Those who work on the farms are basically slaves, for they do not own the land they work on.
