Do you believe that the Grapes of Wrath successfully establishes sympathy for the plight of Dust Bowl farmers? Why or why not?
In my opinion Grapes of Wrath shows all the hardships and struggles that Dust Bowl farmers went through. In the chapter when two little kids are just staring at a piece of candy and their dad tells them that theirs no money and can't buy it I can really relate because I seen, in especially my little sister when we go to the store and she wants toys and my mom says no because there is no money I can see definitely connection, maybe not as extreme but very similar. But I don't necessarily think that the entire purpose of the book was so people have sympathy on them and just feel so sorry for them. One of the other purpose of the book in my opinion was to show people that mostly everyone was having hard troubles not just the farmers, and wants to teach us a lesson on not repeating history or all of this struggles will again occur but I guess no one listen because I can relate or know of people that experiencing similar situations.
