Generosity In The Grapes Of Wrath
Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, a French novelist who went by the pseudonym George Sand, claims "charity degrades those who receive it and
hardens those who dispense it." Those who give to others solely believe they are contributing to the greater good. While those receiving more or
less don't reciprocate the same gratitude. It comes from human nature to believe deep down to help others less fortunate than one. Generosity

telling the story of a poor family's journey during the Dust Bowl. In the novel, Steinbeck uses Mae to demonstrate generosity shown towards

The word is so ambiguous to everyone in society. Many view charity as giving back to those in need because they feel as though they are
"bettering the community" in one small way. However, those receiving, can see it as pity or shameful action. We see this throughout The
Grapes of Wrath as well, the receiving end of the generosity is interpreted differently than those giving out. In today's society, it's programmed
into us that if you don't partake in charitable actions, you aren't considered a "good samaritan". If you aren't helping, what are you doing?
Some people today, are being "generous" for all the wrong reasons: to fulfill volunteer hours or doing it to set an image. We need to people to
check their moral intentions before believing they are "helping" the community. In other words, people can do more damage to others when
having the wrong intentions when it comes to charitable work. If we don't, we create a society who pities those who suffer in order to boost
one's ego. Now. Reflect on how you are "bettering" the
