Steinbeck uses this background information on California to show a social criticism, that history will always ending up repeating itself. At one point the land of California was stolen from Mexicans by the squatters but now wealthy landowners were being stolen from migrant farmers or ?Oakies?. This shows how nothing will change no matter how much times have changes or realities differentiate. The significance of Grandma?s funeral shows you how little the Joad?s or the ?Oakies? funds they could scoot by on. Not even the simplest of necessities could be met outside of food and water; this really highlights that desperation of the time period.

Sholan Kunjappan Mr.DeFilippis APUSHII January 23, 2013 ?When the Negro was in Vogue? Harlem in the 1920?s represented a very large change that would help change almost everything. Black discrimination seemed to slow down as whites began to accept blacks from Harlem. Celebrities would travel to Harlem in the nights to sit in the pubs. Although this annoyed the common Harlemite, it gave exposure to many Negro ideas made them very public. America was greatly changed as white America began to become fascinated by Harlem and the population that resided in it.

2.07 Assessment Our national anthem comes from the lyrics come from "Defence of?Fort McHenry", a poem written in 1814 by a 35-year-old Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. IT was finally adopted by the government as our national anthem on March 3, 1931. Next the star spangled banner flag was created because they wanted a flag big enough that the British could see from miles and miles away! So they got Mary Pickergills and her daughter to create the massive flag which they used over 400 yards of wool. 15 stars were cut, 8 red and 7 white stripes were cut as well and by that August the flag was done. It was measured at 30 by 42 feet costing them $ 405.90.
