Most authors create characters in which they somehow relate to. John Steinbeck grew up in an area of California that was heavily populated with immigrants and migrant workers. Although, he would eventually become well off himself, his most formative years rooted back into groups of people of humble origins. He was able to identify with the frame of mind needed to make these characters believable.
