Understanding the Book

Casy's Death



This shows how there is no mercy with the people. They will do whatever it takes just to be able to feed their families. The police were wrong for killing innocent people, but they are just trying to make a buck; if the means killing people then that is what they will do. It also goes along with Casy's "new religion" he went out of his way to help the people, and he died doing it. This event shows us the extreme's people will go in life.



The End



This very akward ending also deals with Casyology. Casyology is the idea that people help one another, and they go out of their way to do it. In the end we have Rose of Sharon feeding a starved stranger. She had never met this mand before, but the only way he would be able to survive was her. So she did what she had to do to give the helpless man hope.
