The lack of assistance from the richer has caused the poor to be with no choice left but to still in order to keep their families alive.]]> 2018-05-01 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016012 abby_kamai https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016013 This shows how the existing authorities and the land owners dislike migrants and are looking for any excuse to kill them or atleast to keep them beaten down. This shows how there are two opposing groups that one is clearly in power and trying to stay that way. Steinbeck most likely did this to emphasize that the wealthy were afraid of the migrants and want to keep them down at all cost. ]]> 2018-05-01 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016013 abby_kamai https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016014 This provides and example of us versus them by showing how the land owners (who presumably are in power and control the police) use them to try and keep the workers in line as well as harassing them in order to keep them beat down and submissive. Steinbeck most likely did thin in order to point out how to these poor workers, the entire world seemed to be against them which included their own government. ]]> 2018-05-01 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016014 abby_kamai https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016015 Steinbeck establishes a sense of human greed in this passage by explaining how the company turns employment into indentured servitude.  He does this to emphasize a lower class vs Higher class mentality.]]> 2018-05-01 19:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016015 abby_kamai https://padlet.com/abby_kamai/39eg4yhymh8c/wish/257016016 Steinbeck showcases human greed in this passage by displaying how no one accepted the Okies all because they were greedy and they did allow them gain.

1.  Title How Monsanto is Terrifying the Farming World 

2.  Summary
Monsanto has become the largest corporation in regards to agriculture. This is due to them not only having an effective monopoly on pesticides but also has a monopoly on seeds and seed technology. Due to this, farmers are forced to buy from Monsanto, which charges a lot of money for seeds and products if the farm is not large enough to by massive amounts. In addition to this, if farmers do not use Monsanto products, the company finds creative ways to sue the small farmers (who will have difficulty defending themselves in court) and ultimately makes it impossible to not buy from Monsanto. However, due to the cost of the seeds many small farms simply cannot afford it and as a result are forced to sell their farms to large farms that can. 

3. Implications of Research (Why is it important?)
This is important because it shows how small farmers are no longer able to function, as well as agriculture being effectively a monopoly due to Monsanto owning so much of the process of growing crops which allows them to change prices and as result result in food costing more. 

4.  Connection to The Grapes of Wrath
This is a connection to the Grapes of Wrath due to them both involving one large, profit driven company owning the land which consequently removes small farmers from growing crops, similar to the way that the people in the Grapes of Wrath were unable to famr simply because all the land was owned by large companies and any land that was available, the people did not have any money to buy. This ultimately resulted in a major income gap between the large corporations and the small farmer and laborer.

1.  Produce Industries
waste food in preference to giving them away.
2.  America is the nation that wastes the most food. Produce companies prefer to throw away tons of food all for the reason that American stores(and the people) prefer more "clean" and "perfect" looking produce. This results in half of our produce being trashed instead of donated to the less fortunate.

3. Implications of Research (Why is it important?)
This news highlights how much the industry has advance in its technology and breached ethics. Instead of expunging further funds to donate the food, they are ready to toss away 1/2 of the produce they create.

4.  Connection to The Grapes of Wrath
Connects to how the wealthy are greedy in the Grapes Of Wrath. Instead of letting the man farm and feed his family, they deny their land to everyone to make a buck.
