Grapes of Wrath- It Seems So Real

The Grapes of Wrath seemed so real, and some of the things that happened in this book were just really hard to believe. Steinback, the author of The Grapes of Wrath, was really an amazing author and I think did a really good job in writing this book. The setting is what is so brutal to us. We got every little detail on their living situations at all times. Everything that the Joad family went through was just crazy. I could not imagine living in that time. They got everything taking away from them. They lived in such bad situations. During that time, dust, starvation, death, suffering, and poverty were just a few of things that they saw everyday. The Joad family not only saw those kinds of things, but they went through it. They lost all of their crops from dust, they did not have much money, their grandparents passed away, and they never had that great of living situations. It was during the Great Depression, and that was just how it was, and people were used to it. The author of this book, Steinback, was a good person to right about something like this. Steinback was just a real kind of guy. He was not afraid to provide the readers of his books with the honest details, and that is just what he did in this book. We got every single detail, and maybe some that we did not want such as knowing about how they buried Granpa when he passed on the way there. All the details he gave made the book seem so real, like you were living right then. The reason they seemed so real though was because all that happened during this book, really did happen in the early nineteen- hundreds. They went through some dramatic, real, and very heroic things. Steinback really knew how to write a book like this, and did a great job. I think he needs a lot of praise for writing a book like this.
