Pero, ¿de dónde viene tanta ropa? ¿Qué estamos haciendo con tantas prendas? Y, más importante aún, ¿qué efecto tiene su producción masiva en la sociedad, el medio ambiente y el bienestar económico?

Las tiendas ofrecen tendencias nuevas a precios cada vez más bajos los mayoristas producen prendas en volúmenes altísimos para bajar los costos y subir las ganancias, convirtiendo a la ropa en un bien desechable.

We’re also a long way from the Californian settings of many of Steinbeck’s best-known works. ![]() With respect to The Winter of Our Discontent, we’re a long way from the more energetic, playful Steinbeck of Tortilla Flat or The Long Valley. In some ways, it feels like a late-period novel from a literary lion: thoughtful, rife with symbolism, and somewhat stark in its prose. ![]() It’s not one of Steinbeck’s better-loved novels: over the years, it’s amassed neither the accolades of East of Eden or The Grapes of Wrath or the cult dedication of Cannery Row. That novel is 1961’s The Winter of Our Discontent. But while Steinbeck’s work often grappled with class and poverty, one novel from his late period grappled with questions of immigration-and did so in ways that resonate uncomfortably with Trump-era America. Steinbeck’s name has also served as shorthand for a kind of socially-aware fiction. Steinbeck wrote about economic desperation far better than most, and approached some of his fiction with an eye towards the grander systems that left many impoverished. There’s a very good reason that readers return again and again to John Steinbeck’s fiction when it comes to its handling of class in America. ![]() ![]() ![]() (To the point I had 10 She’s in a row on numerous pages.)Įntire scenes were repeated (such as her bicep being grabbed and her saying ‘you’re hurting me’ happened at least 2 times within the first maybe 40 pages.

His dark secret and sarcastic attitude keep him from getting close to anyone, yet when the camp attendees are taken hostage by three masked men, Riley and Max must dig deep to trust each other in order to escape the warehouse. Max Cross shares a therapy group with her, though they don't interact much.
