I know occasionally there would be a required book to read and I had already read it so got a buy.

I'm guessing Rho doesn't know the underlying reason Steinbeck wrote Grape of Wrath.
He shared similar motivations with Sinclair Lewis for The Jungle.
Rho
"Muck Raking"?
I don't really think that was Steinbeck's objective...
Neither do I.
Rho
Well, that was Sinclair's motivation explicitly. So, I'm not exactly sure what point your trying to make....

While Grapes of Wrath did have a small bit of muckraking in it that was not the reason for writing it.

Doh. It was Upton Sinclair, sorry.
No, Sinclair's motivation was a particular political/economic stance he wished to advance THROUGH muckraking.

I sincerely believe Steinbeck sought out to create a good narrative depicting the life and times of people during the Dust Bowl...
Yes, he was a migrant fruit picker himself and did delve pretty deeply in to the mistreatment of migrant field hands of the time, but I don't think he had an agenda beyond making a story.
Sinclair's main objective was to expose the brutality towards and horrible living conditions of American meat packers during the early 1900s. Yes, it can be viewed as pro union, but I honestly believe that was a time when unionization was needed and justified...

My mind just automatically went to Upton Sinclair. I was duped, I believe.
