Grapes Of Wrath
THE GRAPES OF WRATH
The Grapes of Wrath is a novel by John Steinbeck that exposes
the desperate conditions under which the migratory farm families
of America during the 1930?s lived under. The novel tells of a
family known as the Joads migration west to california through the
great economic depression of the 1930?s. the Joad family had to
abandon their home and their livelihoods. They had to uproot and
set adrift because tractors were rapidly industrializing their
farms. The bank took possessions of their land because the owners
could not pay off their loan. One of the biggest problems faced
is the fact that the great depression is in its prime. After
reading this novel I was able to tell that the great depression is
the main cause and sound basis for the novel.
The government started playing a major role in agriculture
during and after the Great Depression of the 1930?s. It acted
primarily to restrict output in order to keep prices high. The
growth of agricultural productivity depended on the accompanying
industrial revolution that freedom stimulated. So then came new
machines that revolutionized agriculture. Conversely, the
industrial revolution depended
