="That's the Monster"= “[|The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.]”-Malcolm X http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c101/oipunk89/myspaceimage.jpg Courtesy of Google

This image closely relates to the book Grapes of Wrath. However, instead of the bank controlling our society today, it has been replaced by the media. We see that in the Grapes of Wrath they want to attack the bank, and kill whoever is behind it. To the farmer's and Joad's chagrin, the bank isn't a person. Instead it is faceless. It is something more else than man. It is a monster they created, probably for the better of society, but now it has gotten out of control, and is helping to ruin their lives. The same message could be sent for media. People want to eliminate the messages it is brainwashing people with, but they can't just attack one person. It is a faceless aspect of society run by multiple people. We've created a modern day Grapes of Wrath Monster. "The bank isn't like a man...the bank is something else than men." Grapes of Wrath-(33) Replace bank with media, and we have the same issue, and it is true as well.

It seems like our lives are just being controlled and run by people we don't even know.

What are we to do? "It's not us. It's the Monster." Grapes of Wrarth (33). The monster is controlling us. The Monster doesn't only have to the bank, because media is also faceless and just as destructive

We are like mindless zombies, following whatever ads tell us to. Buy this, buy that, seems to be our self motto. Even so, we always agree with what the faceless world tells us. Corporate companies make us believe that this is good, and this is bad, and they basically control our lives without us even knowing about it. We are living under the command under people who have no faces, and who aren't even tangible.
