What fruit appears in the title of a 1939 John Steinbeck novel?

BrassBeam81667, it was a sad and very hard time in history. Life is like that sometimes. Can’t imagine having a starving family. We were never rich, but always had a place to live and food on the table. Didn’t have any luxuries, but always had necessities and a few extras, thanks to a Mom who always set something aside to surprise her family.

The Grapes of Wrath can touch the soul and heart of every person who reads it Its no wonder Steinbeck won a Nobel prize for this book he wrote

I remember that we read this is the 8th grade. it's a classic.

Shows you how heartless and dehumanizing the world is.

:(Nancy E):, Yes I agree, our furniture was orange crates, we had food, the basics-- nothing fancy, for my dad was a hard working man. I mean what individual would go into a refrigerated train box car to stack boxes of Oranges shipped to America or other parts of the world. Occasionally he brought the second rate Oranges that did sell in the markets. These golf ball sized fruit, maybe this are reason, I hardly catch colds today...Yes thanks to our parents and God that we lived well. My prayer is people could experience the fortunes and blessings we had. I love Steinbeck, he shows that we can channel are wrath/ anger; we have and a result can be as sweet as Grapes...

Steinbeck was the greatest

I saw (b&w) film and read book... both are amazing.

:(Nancy E):, you are blessed to have such a wonderful mom

BionicFlyweight14427, It is a great book. We read it in ninth grade.

NimbleCavalier81232, The article reads of drought. The roaring 20's was over; Prohibition came to an end; the Great Depression started at the end of 1929. There was the Dust Bowl, too. Steinbeck always emphasized The Salt of the Earth; The people of Oklahoma were poor but hard working people; they were per say the Beverly Hillbilly type, yet, In real life these people succumbed the natural disasters and helped California, become the Salad Bowl of America then ; the Grapes of Wrath shows people can get up on their two feet and work...Today some see work as a difficulty and other negative disgust. They would rather push buttons here and there. There is no more responsibility.

I read the book my freshman year & I've been watching the movie every since the 80's. I still watch now whenever it airs on TV. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies.

I read this book twice after a period of almost 15 years and enjoyed it

Steinbeck novels are about the huge yawning chasm between the life you want and the life you get.

SUPERB MASTERPIECE OF CLASSIC CINEMA. SHOWS HOW OUR ANCESTORS DIDN'T HAVE IT LIKE WE DO. WHEN THE A/C GOES/POWER TOO OR HEAT MY OLE S/P -SIS COMPLAINS. I'LL ITS 230 AM. IN ETX.

sorry but I have to vent, I hate the new graphics they updated to in this game, they are very cartoonish

wildappy5, it was the Pulitzer prize. but Nobel prize is a lot easier to spell if you don't know what you're talking about...

John Steinbeck wrote about how displaced and impoverished Americans survived the Great Depression. He felt a great affinity for them, I think. Wonderful author, one of my favourites.

Interesting fact I learned about Grapes- they are toxic to dogs- can lead to Renal Failure

Mr. Trivia Fun, it was ever so, nothing has changed "today". in the US, people have to work harder for less now and yet they keep on trying. be kind, not critical

Stop this nonsense & get back to the game

Love that film.

is a +5 points for fast response even possible on this type of question?

Mr. Trivia Fun, once in a while i thank god for my many blessings.read the book when i was a kid.

I cry every time I read the grapes of wrath. it is a really good book though. seeing this question really surprised me.

very bad

Sonicgirl, Now that is funny!

Widama007, Yes he was! Pretty darn good for a man booted out of Stanford and told he never would do something substantial in life. I love the Bible but I love his short stories and novel too!

:(Nancy E):, p

queue the book reports of kids who were too lazy to read it thinking it was about man-eating grapes.

A great book and movie. Steinbeck was one-of-a kind.

wildappy5, Great book, but my personal favorite is East of Eden.....

I just love grapes

BrassBeam81667, I don't think anyone can imagine the hardship nowadays, because it is a catastrophe if you lose your mobile phone. People don't care about anything or anyone, but themselves.

GamerGirl633, WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL, I READ GUSS THE DOG.CLASSIC ....

I think in the Wrath of Kahn, Kahn liked eating Grapes as well.

Plums of wrath or melons of wrath would have been better

:(Nancy E):, Human caused

johnnyzoom7, I actually enjoyed Dragon fruit of Wrath. but I noticed GOT stole some key plots....LOL
