Many would claim that John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath, and that is nearly as large of a contribution to twentieth-century American Literature as one can make. The importance of this particular book is that it follows the story of a family during the Dust Bowl of the Great Depression in search of work from Oklahoma to California. This attributes a human quality to a grave national crisis. Steinbeck researched this book extensively, and thus, it often is assigned in American History classes across the country.Steinbeck also wrote another literary behemoth titled East of Eden, which is a retelling of the story of Original Sin (Adam and Eve) from Genesis. The title implies leaving the "city limits" of paradise for the real world of toil.Of Mice and Men is often assigned in high school American Literature classes because its brevity allows for an in-depth study without a vast amount of time. (In total length, most copies are about 100 pages.) What is truly remarkable about this book is how heartbreakingly visceral it is, evoking an emotional outpouring from people of all age groups.
The title "The Grapes of Wrath" was inspired by a line in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," which was suggested to John Steinbeck by his first wife, Carol Henning.
