    i think this was the only book I've ever cried while reading. Very powerful, and makes you appreciate every meal you have.

    The universal law that defines man is the inherent desire to grow and get better. Thank you, John Steinbeck.

    uno dei miei romanzi preferiti! Bellissimo anche il film...con il grande -e quindi...sottovalutato!- John Carradine!

    I love this movie. I think old school movies beat all of the modern ones. Such as this one, Glory, and many more.

    John Steinbeck wrote a historical documentary from interviews he held. But, he didn't get the worst of the stories .... or maybe I am biased, because I actually lived through it.
    The survivors learned from it .... but they never recovered from it. God bless them.

    Steinbeck is the best writer ever.

    That refers to drylandfarming in the middle west, where the harrowing in milelong rows crumbeled the soil and let to just that sand storms.
    Michener describes it in his book and movie Colorado Saga.

    You are correct. It was not so much the winds but farming practises caused the dust bowl. How sad but true. God bless them all.

    I remember back in my freshman year I was forced to read Grapes of Wrath. I thought it was going to suck.
    It didn't. It was a really good read and it gives you an idea of the hardships these people faced.

    We still haven't learned from the mistakes of the past. We buy on credit, we over produce and we listen to corrupt politicians. Maybe it's best compared to drinking or smoking . We know it's bad for us , but we keep doing it anyway.

    Most of your photographs are from the amazing photographer Dorothy Lange. It would be nice to give her art credit.

    I hope our moral Okies heed this warning and clean out the corrupt filled henhouse or this state may end up there again. I must also add, I hope most people are aware of the mini-drought has been here this year....

    our government penalizes farmers that grow food. they want to control the food sources here. Signs along california hiways say "welcome to the dust bowl California made" My moms family lived in the areas where the dust bowl was in those old days, it was horrible.They were really poor, descriminated against and had to start over...but they made it.Thank God

    @TeenCretin just wanted to say that not everyone who disagrees with Obama loves Bush and Cheney....just sayin....there are people who see things in a completely different way from the major parties.....maybe we could start listening to them a little more?

    @TeenCretin Your name-calling insults are completely uncalled for. If you cannot have an intelligent debate, then please just keep your opinions to yourself. Name calling gets no one anywhere. I simply have a different point of view. Sheesh. Get a life.

    I created a blog a few days ago and I was expecting to create a space in which people could express their feelings and opinions about "books".The first book I chose, to have people giving opinions about it was "the fall" by Albert Camus .The blog is : enrugados.blogspot.com. As a passioned follower of John Steinbeck as I'm sure you're too, we could create there a group of people willing to remember him in all is greatness and expose our opinions not only about his books,but also "all the others"
