Jim Casey Mood Board Analysis

Jim Casey is the spiritual leader of the Joad’s and because of this we choose religious images to represent him as Tom sees him. He is deeply connected with nature as seen by his journey of self discovery he took by himself in the wild. The images of the mountains and the preacher in the field show his connection to the land around him. In addition, he rejects the idea of religion though an entity such as the church, and chooses to focus on his personal relationship with God instead. The burning church shows his rejection of this side of religion, while the rosary demonstrates his continued religious nature. The picture of the man smoking was chosen as it is one a group of famous pictures from the era of the Dust Bowl and Depression. In addition, Jim Casey is often mentioned in conjunction with someone smoking, and this image is representative of this connotation. As a preacher, he seems to always be on the move, so for this reason we included an image of a trunk. Finally, the picture of the coffee and the book is representative of the Bible, as well as the hospitality that is shown to him, as the Joads offer him coffee and food.

“Before I knowed it, I was sayin’ it out loud, ‘The hell with it! There ain’t no sin and there ain’t no virtue. There’s just stuff people do. It’s all part of the same thing.’“

I admit that it makes me grumpy when radical progressives say they’d prefer an extreme conservative as leader of government than a moderate progressive/centrist because they feel that the extreme conservative would at least cause people to rise up or whatever. I guess to them all the people whose lives are demonstrably worse with an extreme conservative in power are less important than some glorious revolutionary future.

As a progressive, my guiding belief is that people matter. I believe that it’s better to make a lesser of two evils choice than to throw your hands up in the air, because at least the lesser evil will hurt less people and those people’s lives matter. I mean, I get that Bill Shorten is far far from perfect for a large number of reason and I get that the ALP is also far far from perfect for a large number of reasons, but they’ll still be less harmful than Tony freakin’ Abbott.

I’m all for actually working for practical alternatives to the current system, and I’m all for political protest. But I don’t believe that it’s okay for someone who isn’t in the groups who are going to be screwed over the most to feel that vulnerable people should be thrown under the bus when there isn’t even a clear path from that suffering to actually making those people’s lives better. That’s different to saying that people who are in marginalised groups should stay silent and wait their turn or anything like that. There’s a difference between members of marginalised groups talking about your own experiences and members of more privileged groups volunteering others for hardship.

I just hate the idea that we should have to be willing to wait and suffer in the hope of some glorious revolution that might never come, and I hate the idea that people should be forced to suffer to breed righteous anger and change. I’d rather people’s lives be improved now. I don’t think we need to choose between making people’s lives better in smaller ways now and changing the systems in our society to make people’s lives better in larger ways in the future. Because people matter, and for me that comes before any sort of political purity.

Labor's Grayndler MP Anthony Albanese mocked Greens candidate Jim Casey for being a long-standing socialist. This was actually quite interesting, as it proved that Tony Abbott is not the only federal politician still stuck in the 1950s.
