Today I started reading a book called Grapes of Wrath by a famous American author who writes pieces of fiction set during the Great Depression. His name is John Steinbeck. The book is during the Great Depression. The novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of sharecroppers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other Okies, they sought jobs, land, dignity and a future. This book is like being back in the Depression all over again. It's very interesting and I recommend you to read it.
