Throughout the story, Steinbeck hints at Elisa’s Dissatisfaction. What is Steinbeck’s overall message regarding Dissatisfaction for women in the 1930s? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: Before engaging students with this prompt, it might be helpful to consider all the ways a person could be dissatisfied—emotionally, physically, sexually, spiritually, etc.
Differentiation Suggestion: For students with processing challenges, it might be helpful to create a graphic organizer with some of the categories of dissatisfaction listed above. Instead of considering all the ways in which Elisa might be dissatisfied, it might be helpful for these learners to focus on one category with a small group. Then, have each group share out their findings for different categories in a whole group setting.
