In the epic movie Grapes of Wrath, director John
Ford depicted a saga of one family trying to
survive the 1930 s. In watching this film, it
helped me to understand the hardships of the
American migrants. The characters showed unique
traits and dealt with problems each in a different
way. The Dust Bowl was an ecological and human

It was a terrible time for the people in the
United States' Great Plains when a seemingly
endless drought followed excessive plowing of the
soil and caused the earth to let loose it's hold
on it's very skin. The stripped red soil boiled up
into the air, infiltrating every crevice it could
find, inanimate or alive. The Dream Wheat was a
treasure crop in the 1920 s. With more and more
farmers owning tractors and combines they were
seeing greater yields and profits than ever
before. As a result the...

The Grapes of Wrath Theres an old saying, Blood is
thicker than water. Well, nothing proves truer
than the families in The Grapes of Wrath. When

known for years to protect and provide for their
families: Cant think of that. Got to think of my
own kids. Three dollars a day, and it comes every

Yet one truth remains, throughout human history
oppression has ultimately failed. That leaves the
question of why. In Kate Chopin's The Awakening,

focused on social problems, like the? haves?
verses the? have nots, and made the reader want to
encourage the underdog. Steinbeck? s back ground
and concern for the common man made him one of the
best writers for human rights. John Steinbeck was
