Send us another brother Moses!

From across the Red Sea!....

We're leaving Babylon, ya'll!

We're going to our father's land."

~Bob Marley Exodus

 

This quote connects to the Grapes of Wrath because it makes a biblical reference to Moses.  In the Grapes of Wrath, when they sent the dead baby down the river, it was like when Moses' mother sent Moses down the river.  In both stories, the babies were sent down the river because their mothers were too poor to care for them.  The difference in the two stories was that the baby in the Grapes of Wrath was dead, while Moses was alive.  The quote also points out the migration of people to the "promised land" which was like when the Joads' journeyed to their "promised land," California. 

One heart,

Let's get together and feel alright..."

~Bob Marley, One Love

 

These lyrics by Bob Marley tie into the Grapes of Wrath because both incorporate the idea of the phalanx.  Bob Marley and the Grapes of Wrath emphasize the importance of the group opposed to the importance of the individual.
