Humanity vs. Inhumanity

Ok, so this week I'm not going to write about direct quotes, but more of an entire book in general.

I recently finished reading The Grapes of Wrath for a second time and I was amazed at the insight I gained when rereading. The book has so many themes and so much depth; it was hard for me to focus in on something to write about. But to me, the biggest theme in the book is mans humanity and inhumanity to man. Throughout the entire story there are contrasting examples of love and cruelty. Though men continually become more brutal and uncaring, families pull together and their love grows more than ever. I believe our world is becoming more like this today. The darkness continues to grow, and along with that so does the light that shuts it out.
