It is at this point in the story the widow is so distraught that she seeks out aid from anyone who can bring her son back from the grave thinking it merely some illness that can be cured through the use of medicine.

    In the “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck, we follow the Joads as they migrate from Oklahoma to California with family and friends in three stages.

John Steinbeck wanted this book to be relatable to the public and for people to understand and relate to and feel compassion for the people who felt the hardships of the dust bowl the most. Steinbeck uses a lot of repetition making it easy to relate to the simple characters that Steinbeck has created for us.…
