Grandfather’s Passion
In the story “The Leader of the People,” written by John Steinbeck, Grandfather tells stories to his grandson about how he crossed the plains and how he was an important leader.
Although everyone in the family does not appreciate his stories, Grandfather values his past leadership role in leading a wagon train across the plains. As soon as Grandfather gets to the Tiflin residence, Jody immediately asks him if he wants to help him kill the mice in the barn. Once Joey sees that Grandfather is not interested in hunting the mice, Joey tells him, “It wouldn't be much like hunting Indians, I guess” (Steinbeck 1050). This quote shows that Joey knows how important hunting the Indians is to Grandfather. After the family gets done
