Reflections+on+Change

Constantly throughout the year, we examined in one way or another our will and our capacity for change.

We as Americans in a naive sense, feel that we are a sort of liquid entity, constantly changing. However, the literary masters of America, direct us with scathing criticism to the reality of Americans and their ability to change or adjust to conditions. Like The Joad's quest across the Southwest to encounter the unwelcoming land of California.
