Semester 2 Blog 10

Do you believe that the Grapes of Wrath successfully establishes sympathy for the plight of Dust Bowl farmers? Why or why not?

I think Grapes of Wrath establishes sympathy for the dust bowl workers. He shows it through the migrant Joad family perspective. The Joad family goes through financial issues, losses, and being not so fortunate. Even though the Joad family has survived they still went through a lot. Getting your farm taken away, getting arrested, getting paid very low wages, and getting your house burnt down. The farm is what makes you money. With out the farm you make no money causing you to loose your house.
