Why do the local people fear the migrants in The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The local people fear the migrants in "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck because they view them as competition for scarce resources and jobs during the Great Depression. The presence of migrants threatens their livelihoods and creates a sense of unease and resentment among the locals. Additionally, stereotypes and prejudices against migrants contribute to the fear and hostility directed towards them.

What is the order of the white camelia?

User Avatar

Asked by Thinktink14

The Order of the White Camelia was formed during the reconstruction period in Louisiana. It was not the Ku Klux Klan, as that organization was founded in Tennesee. The Camelia was far more brutal than the Ku Klux Klan and in large part helped bring the reconstruction era to a close after the Colfax riot in Louisiana. A good book referencing the White Camelia is Ted Tunnel's "The Crucible of Reconstruction".

Is there sharks in lake havasu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To date there are no documented accounts of sharks being present in Lake Havasu (2010). However, the possibility of a stray shark travelling that far inland in general does exist.

The Bull Shark in particular is capable of travelling far up rivers and estuaries from the ocean (through use of a process known as osmoregulation). Bull Sharks have been documented as far inland as Indiana and are considered responsible for a significant percentage of attacks on humans worldwide. The Bull Shark's known range includes the Gulf of California where the Colorado River empties into the ocean.

But more to the point, Lake Havasu is a reservoir created by the dam in Parker, AZ. I do not think it would be possible for any marine life to travel upstream past the dam, so there is no chance of this occurrence.

Does Hawaii have great white sharks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Hawaii is the perfect place for great white sharks because the water is so warm and the water has a lot of algea and algea atracts a lot of sharks.

Algae does NOT attract sharks. Fish, sea turtles, marine mammals, and carrion attracts sharks. White sharks are seen in Hawaiian waters, but rarely. Several theories include they follow the humpbacks down on their southward annual migration, mating areas may include the waters between Hawaii and Baja, they're passing through and several others. Truth is no one really knows why they are in Hawaii, but the Hawaiians have a name for them: Niuhi. They also used the shape of their teeth for tattoos and in museums are war implements and tools with the white shark teeth. (reefannie)

What is the difference between the megalodon and the great white shark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Great white sharks are considered, by many ichthyiologists and paleontologist alike, to be more closely related to the mako shark than to the megalodon, as megalodon is often considered to be of the genus carcharocles as opposed to carcharodon, the genus of both the mako and the great white. They were originally considered to be members of the same genus secondary to similarities in their teeth, and both were thought to share a common ancestor, genus palaeocarcharodon. Many scientists now believe that the evolutionary paths of the two species were in fact divergent, the megalodon evolving from the Otodus obliquus, and the great white from the Isurus hastalis, or broad tooth mako.

In addition, megalodon was thought to grow anywhere from 43 ft. to 75 ft. long, and weigh approximately 47 metric tons to 70 metric tons. Comparatively, the typical great white shark is approximately 13-20 ft long with a weight range, note the use of kg as opposed to tons here, of 680-1900 kg. There have been reports of individual sharks, mainly unconfirmed, being up to 37 ft long. Most of these seem to have been reported earlier in the 20th century, and in some cases, estimates done from measurements based upon surviving photographs of these leviathans have shown that they were often much smaller than reported.

The most notable difference between the two species is, of course, the fact that the Great White has survived, and megalodon lost it's battle against extinction 1.5 million years ago during the pleistocene epoch. There are some notable differences in dentition and physiology as well, and wikipedia has articles on both species with a great attached bibliography for more information.
