The author, John Steinbeck, states in paragraph 12 that this first family about whom he is writing is in “the middle class of the squatters’ camp,” but that “[i]n a few months this family will slip down to the lower class.” What information does the author use to support his prediction? Explain your reasoning with textual evidence.

The overall story is talking about how the gods where not their for them when they needed them. I think the theme of Antigone based on scene five is that people should be thankful for what they have and not take it for granted because if you take it for granted, when you really need something it isn't going to be there.

Hope this Helps you  write your 3 paragraphs.
