'Have I have nothing better to do that cure insect bites for 'little Indians''? I am a doctor not a veterinarian."'(Page 11). I chose this quote because this shows how Kino's race was treated by other races such as the doctor's race. During John Steinbeck's life, The Great Depression, WWll, Japanese Internment Camps, Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement were going on. Because of his unique writing style, he won a Nobel Prize for Literature and got nominated for an Oscar. In
