G.O.W. Chapter 11

Themes:
Connection to the land

Characters:

Summary:
Steinbeck tells us that when the farmers leave the land, it becomes part of a company. The company has people work on the land and they have no real connection to the land. A farmer has needs that the land can provide. But a worker has needs that the company provides. He doesn't care about the land, but what he gets out of wasting his time on it. A farmer is one with his land.
