The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and it was cited prominently when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, agricultural industry changes and bank foreclosures forcing tenant farmers out of work. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they are trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other ´´Okies´´, they seek jobs, land, dignity, and a future. Tom Joad came back home at the farm after he had been imprisoned for the accidental killing. He got out of a prison on parole and had no right to leave the state. He had been waited for a large Joad family at home: grandparents, father and mother, three brothers and two sisters. Tom found folks preparing to leave for California with the hope of finding a job and a house, because the farmers were driven out from their land. All the family members were happy to meet Tom. The next day, the whole family and a preacher went on journey. As they reached a main highway, they met many folks, who are moving to the West too. The closer to California, the more people came across on the road, which were running to the opposite direction. They told terrible things?
