The diction of Steinbeck here in apparently describing the dustbowl conditions of the Dirty Thirties is speaking of "tenant men" or presumably men who were tenant farmers perhaps who were allowed to live on the land in return for working it and that they "scuffed"  their way home indicates that the dust was so thick they had to scuff but also perhaps that since they could barely make a living under the poor agricultural conditions they did not walk confidently but scuffed.

Write a paragraph that evaluates Odysseus’s qualifications as an epic hero.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Odysseus has all of the qualifications as an epic leader. He is wise, and determined.

" I had touched the spot when sudden fear stayed me: if I killed him we perished there as well, for we could never move his ponderous doorway slab aside. So we were left to groan and wait for morning."

This proves that he knows what is right, and they he is determined to do what he believes is best for his crew. Odysseus knows that if he kills the Cyclops, then he and his men will not be able to go inside the cave.
