John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, takes place during the Great Depression, a time when troubled and distressed American men and women lived; a time of poverty and an economic crisis. When change is thought upon, it is to be thought of new life and new experiences. The Great Depression is the kind of change that replaces a part of American living with “ Somepin’s happening. I went up an’ I looked, an’ the houses is all empty, an’ the lan’ is empty, an’ this whole country is empty” ( Steinbeck 94). In his work, Steinbeck presents the hardships that Americans had to go through by being mindful of particular aspects which makes the reader understand the characters’ distress. For example, the landscape of the farm lands. Even though the land has its brutality, it grows to be the scenery for humans to be able to recognize and consider their troubles about work and life in general. With these concerns, there are differences between the people who are accustomed to the landscape and admire it, and those who do not agree with it. In the novel, Steinbeck uses attributes of class conflict and injustice as a way of presenting and socially commenting that the Great Depression brought attention to more problems beyond the idea of poverty.

Mike felt something empty inside; he would escape his normal life and marriage by joining a group of men who would kill an innocent man. His shadow would reveal itself, which Mike did not want to bare to the rest of the community because he wanted to fit in. He would repress his feelings by re-thinking his actions when it came to hurting another person. When he stood there, watched, felt irritated next to a man who watched with him, and told him how he felt towards the man by the tree trying to burn the body. He turned to a man who stood beside him in the near-darkness, “That don’t do no good, he said” (Steinbeck 133). Mike believed burning the body would not do any good towards the men by the tree.
