3/8 Steinbeck's writing is raw and emotional, and he does an excellent job of capturing the despair and hopelessness felt by many during the Depression. The novel's themes of social justice and the plight of the working class still resonate today.

1/8 The Grapes of Wrath is a powerful novel that depicts the struggles during the Great Depression (1929-1939). It tells the story of the Joad family, who are forced to leave their Oklahoma farm due to economic hardship, drought, economic hardship, and agricultural changes.
