Interchapters

Let’s look at chapter 5.
What’s the answer?
Can somebody give us a background on what you know about our current crisis?
When did it start?
Who do we blame? Who’s at fault?
What have we done about it?
What should we do about it?
Does it upset you? Does your age matter? Does your income level matter?
What effect has the crisis had on you?
For starters: Tuition is up 50% at UW in three years. Don’t pay tuition?
76 classes cut at YVCC this year. YVCC has lost a third of the budget.
“With the increase, full-time YVCC students will pay 13 percent more in tuition -- or $407 more than the $3,850 they paid for the 2010-2011 academic year. Part-time students will pay an additional 11 percent.
Next spring, the board will decide whether to approve another 12 percent increase for the 2012-13 school year. The rate reflects the maximum allowed by the Legislature in the 2011-13 operating budget.
The budget also includes a two-year, 3 percent pay cut for staff.” YHR online

At first I was confused about the chapters because every other chapter talks about Tom Joad and Jim Casey but now knowing about the inter chapters helps me understand the concept.
@Anna... yes! I agree! I was always confused as to why Steinbeck would tell the story then pause and mention something (I had previously thought was) random... but talking a baou tinterchapters in class made everything make more sense! :)
Once I read the chapters and then went back to understood them better, I figured it out that way. Also talking about it all in class was VERY helpful.
I agree with my classmates, it was a bit confusing .. but going back and reading it makes more sense..
I agree. it kinda bounces around but then again it is a book. But ya I do understand it.
It was a bit confusing in the beginning, but it was easier to understand after I went back and reviewed it.
