John Steinbeck, a Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, wrote in !939 The Grapes of Wrath about the hardships of
the Great Depression.
The book may be very wordy, but overall, it teaches about the strength of
being a family, even in the most unbearable situations. As the Joad family emmigrate from Kansas, where they were evicted from their farm, they experience hardships. They decided to go to California, because there are a lot of job openings on the farmland. They arrive in California, and see all of the crops on hills and mountains, but they see that some crops are left to die and rot to keep the cost of the crop high. The sad thing is that California is a small grapevine of wrath, there are nice things that people can have, but it requires lots of money.
