The Grapes of Wrath
By: John Steinbeck
      All through history, a number of great events have taken place that captured onlooker’s attention, both onlookers of that period as well as the onlookers who are not yet born.  Textbooks captured these events. The hearts of the people also played a part in preserving them.

Despite the fact that the story does not seem to end, its sense of accomplishment is ever present in a way that cannot be explainable.
      This novel entails an account of movements done by Joad’s family, Tom Senior, Tom Junior, Connie, Ruthie, Rosasharn, Winfield, Granpa, Granma, Ma, Uncle John, and also their best friend Casy, who is an ex-reverend. A number of crops grown in Texas as well as Oklahoma had been purchased by the bank. The bank applied an enhanced technology in order to farm, and reap. They also used technology for the preparation of crops with minimal efforts. Through the use of technology, commercial firms were rapidly created by the banks. The banks also made very huge profits.
