Steinbeck uses the phrase "I got to figure" to convey the urgency and determination of the characters as they navigate difficult situations in Chapter Five. The phrase reflects the characters' resilience and resourcefulness in finding solutions to their problems as they struggle to survive during the Great Depression.
It is a phrase in the Bible, sometimes applied to Christ himself. Rose of Sharon is also- and probably best known as a fictional character in the Steinbeck novel- the Grapes of Wrath.
"Where The Grapes of Wrath are Stored" is a reference to the novel "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. The phrase suggests a place of great emotional intensity or suffering, often linked to themes of social injustice, hardship, and human resilience depicted in the novel. It implies a location where the weight of these experiences is preserved or held, evoking a sense of desolation or struggle.

It comes from the Song "Battle Hymn of the Republic"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrathare stored;He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:His truth is marching on.
what does grapes of wrath mean ---- The grapes of wrathare referenced in the Book of Revelation 14:19:And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.This is one of the Bible's hairier passages. You don't gather grapes with a sickle, you don't throw the whole vine into a winepress, and why does God have a winepress anyway?The phrase is usually invoked to refer to a type of anger that hangs around, and stays, and gets stronger - the way that wine ferments and becomes more potent. That is probably the idea in The Battle Hymn of the Republic (which is where this wording first occurs), and almost certainly the sense in the John Steinbeck novel (which is where most people first meet the phrase).
