John Steinbeck was an American author most noted for his work highlighting social issues. The Grapes of Wrath, quite possibly his most famous work, follows the Joad family as they are forced to leave their Midwestern home and migrate west in search of a new life together. A common theme in this book is the how the poor treatment of underprivileged people is ignored by authority. This theme emerges in several of his other works, such as Of Mice and Men and The Chrysanthemums. Both of these pieces highlight those who are struggling and dissatisfied with their situation. Steinbeck has been awarded several awards for his works, including the Pulitzer Prize.
