YMMV / Cannery Row

Cannery Row features examples of:

• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: One interpretation of Doc's aversion to getting his head wet, is to draw a parallel to an aversion to baptism.
• Tear Jerker: Frankie's story.
  • Along with the first party, Mack's apology, the second party, and pretty much the whole book.
  • The dead girl Doc finds floating in the water at the beach.
• Values Dissonance: Doc threatens to punch a hitchhiker who complained that Doc was going to drive under the influence of alcohol.
