Grampa demanded, "Where is he? Goddamn it, where is he?"
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 8. Grampa’s first words in the novel show him to be an impatient and outspoken man who doesn’t mind taking God’s name in vain. It is not surprising that he fights a lot with his religious wife, whose first words in the book are to praise God.
