We most certainly see this theme of fear and disdain for the police all throughout our reading! And it is so sad to read about how awful these men treated the okies, but then we learn that they have to in a way to get paid. We see the total chaos and anarchy being created when everyone looks out for only themselves and forget the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." These few words of this adage can go a long way in maintaining peace. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966135509968095500noreply@blogger.com
