John Steinbeck S The Grapes Of Wrath

John Steinbeck s The Grapes Of Wrath

It describes the migration of the fictional Joad family during the Dust Bowl era as they seek a better future in California. Unfortunately their tale is one of woe and suffering.

They face intense discrimination, a dearth of jobs and abject poverty in their quest. The underlying rage and frustration seeps out through this book, which won the Pulitzer Prize and was a primary reason for the Steinbeck's winning of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

It is entertaining, emotive and impactful all in one fell swoop. Steinbeck creates complex characters that aren't tropes within this huge historical context of mass migration and movement of time, space and lives. Truly deserving of high praise and was duly recognised during its own time and even to this day.

Superb in every way. Kyrin out!]

What does the highway represent? How about cars and trucks? What is their goal and direction? Is it significant that the turtle moves in a different direction southward, crossing the road? What happens to the turtle and its cargo? What does Steinbeck suggest? John Steinbeck s The Grapes Of Wrath
