One of the characters I found the
most enjoyable, humane and just plain good is Tom Joad from Steinbecks' “The Grapes Of
Wrath”. Tom was a young man with such a strong persona. I picked him because he
was just so human, he transformed his life from being a non caring delinquent
to a protégé of people’s rights. His transformation struck me as a reader. It
was so nice and refreshing to see him grow into a better man. In all honesty I cannot
remember any literary techniques used in effect to Tom, but what I could say is
that Tom represented a new beginning. Despite his past he drove to move on and
that goes the same for his family, they had a difficult past and still managed
to survive and move on forward. It teaches the human race that no matter what
obstacles or social barriers there are in your life you can move forward you
just need to want to move forward.
