    Explanation: The Grapes of Wrath was a masterpiece written by John Steinback which was a best seller, also won Pulitzer award and so on. This book was a significant novel in American history. It has enlightened people by evoking the American theme of hard labor, self determination and reasoned dissent who were affected by Great depression and Dust Bowl. It showed the struggle, love, hope of a family. So it was enlightening and inspiring for some people.

    But somehow the novel did not get same reaction from some people of Oklahoma. Because it was based on a real story of a Oklahoman family. In the novel he used the short form of the state as 'okie' which previously used by a reporter as a negative concept. So for this reason the novel was a bit criticized by some people of Oklahoma.
