"Drove like he's blin' drunk. Jesus, the air was full of bed clothes an' chickens an' kids." (158)
This quote has impacted me in the way i see other people and in the way i see myself. We can intertwine this quote to that of the Corinthians 15:34
"Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go sinning on. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to you shame."
The connection to the Corinthians 15:34 and the quote of The Grapes of Wrath is that people are blind to that of what is around them and to what they do not understand. In my own personal life i have met people who in cases are blind to what they do not know or understand. It could be cases of race when one would put down the other because they are afraid of who they are or what people associate them to be. At times i see myself as blind to what i do not know or cannot perceive, it's a matter of what i do in order to become one with that of the unknown. And that is how this quote has affected me.
