Social Issues

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.

The Grapes of Wrath

Megan Berkner Period 2 Study Guide Chapter 12-18 The largest contrasts that emerge are the knowledge that all might be as it had seemed. We've reached the point in the novel where failure is evident. The significance of the gas attendants complaint is to show how everyone had struggled, no matter where people went or where from people could not get away from the issues of The Great Depression. People from all over the United States came to this gas station and they were all the same versions of the same thing: poor and belittling to themselves.
