Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. Like ants banded together as a means by which to survive, John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" exemplifies the inherent struggles of class distinction. Indeed, the depiction of toil and strife was to represent the very essence of life for the wayward travelers in search of a day's wage. The pittance of work they were able to find only served to sustain them for the next journey they would face, once again in search of work to support a meager and terribly unstable lifestyle. The writer discusses how for the Joads and all the other people searching for survival during the Depression, work was not merely a means to an end, but rather was the means upon which they staked their entire existence. No additional sources cited.

and dejected minds is how they will earn enough money by days end to feed the family. Anything that occurs outside the boundaries of work bears little significance, inasmuch
as there is little to be interested in or happy about within such dismal circumstances. One incident in particular that momentarily defies this point is when all the laborers
held a dance as a means by which to temporarily relieve their minds of the perpetual anxiety that intrinsically accompanies poverty. At this dance, the collective of workers magically
became ladies and gentlemen, effectively transforming himself or herself from sweat drenched, sun baked workers to men and women who - if only for a moment - forgot their hopeless
predicaments. Throughout the dance, people are seen having fun interacting on a very different level, one without stringent social boundaries as dictated by a different - and often construed
