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 it successfully shows sympathy for the plight of the Dust Bowl farmers. It shows the hardship they go through; the troubles, losses, and financial problem. Like, if it wanted to show anger towards the Dust bowl farmers, it would talk about how they should have stayed in Oklahoma and the book would have portrayed them as bad people. But the book portrayed them as innocent hhonest people just looking for a way to survive and keep their family living.
