This technique does not draw you into the story very quickly. It is clear from the writing that Steinbeck is calling on previous experiences. He is basically writing about what he has witnessed and experienced as he went through the Great Depression. Steinbeck's simple writing style shows what it was like during the Great Depression. Steinbec...

The speech of Jaques is, along with the advice of the Polonius to his son, the most famous example of this problem.
