In the novel, Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, depicts the struggles between upper class, middle class, and poor, migrant workers which show how natural human greed and selfishness amongst those with sustainable income increases tension between the separate classes. Steinbeck also uses the empathetic views shared amongst those in the same situations and how it gives them a want to help each other survive. The rich are wasteful with things they are unable to profit from; they cannot stand the poor nor the thought of the stagnation of their company. They are unable to accept a large consistent profit; the business itself is not the monster that begins to die from a constant profit but the greedy humans behind it.

John Steinbeck is the renowned author of novels such as Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, and The Pearl. In his novel The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck expounds on the theme of the cruelty people inflict on one another as well as how they can overcome the inhumanity of others. Steinbeck’s artfully demonstrates that this cruelty is often born out of the human tendency to think of oneself first; others, if they are thought of at all, come second.

John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, takes place during the Great Depression, a time when troubled and distressed American men and women lived; a time of poverty and an economic crisis. When change is thought upon, it is to be thought of new life and new experiences. The Great Depression is the kind of change that replaces a part of American living with “ Somepin’s happening. I went up an’ I looked, an’ the houses is all empty, an’ the lan’ is empty, an’ this whole country is empty” ( Steinbeck 94). In his work, Steinbeck presents the hardships that Americans had to go through by being mindful of particular aspects which makes the reader understand the characters’ distress. For example, the landscape of the farm lands. Even though the land has its brutality, it grows to be the scenery for humans to be able to recognize and consider their troubles about work and life in general. With these concerns, there are differences between the people who are accustomed to the landscape and admire it, and those who do not agree with it. In the novel, Steinbeck uses attributes of class conflict and injustice as a way of presenting and socially commenting that the Great Depression brought attention to more problems beyond the idea of poverty.

The unconventionally written intercalary chapters of Steinbeck's novel, “The Grapes of Wrath”, are designed to show the readers a view of economic depression and social aspects of America during this time period. Steinbeck tells the reader about the situation through a macroscopic point of view, when he writes the intercalary chapters. It is through these intercalary chapters that Steinbeck tells us about the struggle of many migrant farmers who are pushed out of their homes and start to live their lives on the road, while trying to find places for them to work. Between each of these intercalary chapters are narrative chapters where Steinbeck gives the readers a microscopic view of the situation, by giving us an example of one of the migrant

The 1930’s were a decade of great change politically, economically, and socially. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl wore raw the nerves of the people, and our true strength was shown. From it arose John Steinbeck, a storyteller of the Okies and their hardships. His books, especially The Grapes of Wrath, are reflections of what really went on in the 1930’s. John Steinbeck did not write about what he had previously read, he instead wrote what he experienced through his travels with the migrant workers. “His method was not to present himself notebook in hand and interview people. Instead he worked and traveled with the migrants as one of them, living as they did and arousing no suspicion from employers militantly alert against

By presenting how the rich landowners and businessmen take advantage of the migrant workers and pit them against each other, Steinbeck reveals the harsher facets of capitalist society and the obstacles that the migrants face within it. The migrants had lost almost everything with the bank reclaiming their lands, and, yet, they face more hardships at the hands of wealthy capitalists. Before they even start their journey, greedy salesmen take advantage of them by selling them

We sol’ our car. Had to. Run outa food, run outa ever’thing. Couldn’ git no job. Fellas come aroun’ ever’ week, buyin’ cars. Come aroun’, an’ if you’re hungry enough, they don’t hafta pay nothin’ for it. An’- we was hungry enough. Give us ten dollars for her.” (400)

Miller and Steinbeck portray a negative view of America by showing humanity’s unsuccessful attempts at achieving their dreams, causing them to feel victimised by the society they live in. The deterioration of these dreams causes destructive emotions that overpowers the characters and inevitably causes their downfalls. In this essay, I will explore the effect of society on the characters in ‘Death of a Salesman’ and ‘Of Mice and Men’. Both texts are set between the 1930s - 1950s and tell the tales of men who are unable to accomplish much in life. ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a montage of memories, confrontations and dreams and how Willy’s value as a salesman has degraded, causing a psychological warfare occurring between his dreams and

“Of Mice and Men” is a novella written by John Steinbeck set in 1930’s America during the Great Depression. The novella explores the social problems and prejudices faced by people in the 1930’s through the portrayal of the migrant workers and their experience on the ranch. Steinbeck uses the ranch as a microcosm of wider society to present the harsh reality of life in America during this period. “The Golden Cadillac” is a short story written by Mildred Taylor who depicts life in the 1950’s Ohio when the apartheid was enforced. This inevitably examines social prejudices and discrimination in America.

John Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ shows the cruel society that was created in America during the Great Depression. This is revealed through the brutal environment established on the ranch near Soledad. Steinbeck explores the hierarchy of society and the unfair power structures that challenge some characters. Life is also difficult for the inhabitants of the ranch as they experience loneliness and isolation and struggle to find friendship. Although some cling on to dreams as a means of escape, the harsh world they live in eventually crushes their plans. This was a hard era to live in and people were constantly stripped of their human rights.

Suzuki did not demonstrate very well the use of the mode logos, logical argument, throughout her speech. Aristotle describes logos as the techniques that have the power to persuade. The speaker used a diagram of the brain to show where specific areas on the brain are located so that the audience could understand the terms better. She also explained that exercising about three or four times a week for at least half an hour will help get the heart rate up especially if aerobic exercise is included. Although she used these nonverbal and verbal tools, she lacked conclusive evidence to support her claim.

John Steinbeck was an American Nobel Prize winner whose work was viewed by many as controversial. Growing up in Salinas Valley California, Steinbeck enjoyed a comfortable life but opted to work with migrants on a farm. Here, his interest in the socio -economic aspects of life sparked, which later influenced his literary perspective. As an outspoken democrat and advocate of blue collared America, his critics often argue that his works are biased and reflect inaccurate depictions of white collar America. This paper will examine three of Steinbeck’s works and two criticisms of them to determine the extent of which his political and socio-economic experiences have influenced his writing.
