Chapters 1-9: Family Discussion Reflection

Property owners in Lake Mead forced to leave their own homes until government shutdown ends

Research

Summary: People that are residents and owners of their own property on Lake Mead are forced to leave while the government was shut down. They weren't allowed to go back until the government reopened again because it was on federal land. Because of this shutdown, people have been protesting and lives have been taken, voluntarily and not voluntarily.
Evaluation: This article ties to the chapters 1-9 in The Grapes of Wrath because in these chapters everyone in the Oklahoma farmlands were forced to leave. Some of these farmers also tried to fight back for the owner rights but it failed.

Reflection

The most memorable moment of my discussion with my little sister, Mary is when i asked her the first question. I had expected her to say that she would fight back and try to leave here even longer. But instead all she ended up saying was that she would just pack. Which kinda surprised me. Something that was most surprising to me about my discussion with Mary was that once i asked her the 2nd question, she decided to say that she would actually fight back for something she loved... but not her own house. 1 way i could improve my questions is change up either # 1 or #2 because those 2 questions were somewhat too similar to Mary.
