    Although the salesman who works at the car lot is less intimidating than the cyclops the both have a one eyed character at one point in their journeys . In The Grapes of Wrath when the Joads are looking for a car for their "Road Trip" to California they visit a car lot.

Through out their "stay" at the car lot the salesman spends more time complaining, wallowing in self pity and describing his struggles of only having one eye instead of actually doing his job. Eventually Tom has enough of his whining and lectures him, Which leads me to my next comparison; both roles have a good amount of arrogance attached to them.…

    The short story that I decided to analyze is Ralph Ellison’s Battle Royal. This short story to me implied how in essence, we are not so different from our (black people) slave ancestors. A quote in the story where he says, “I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time been ashamed.” This quote epitomized the whole short story for me.…
