const2013 [10]

Answer: D. The Grapes of Wrath

Explanation: The Grapes of Wrath was written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. It is a story about a family in the dustbowl and their struggle in the great depression. It cqptures the great anger and helplessness of the people as well as the heartlessness and nonchalance of the powerful elite.

He clearly stated his purpose for writing the novel as wanting to put a tag of shame on the greedy people who are responsible for this, that is the Depression and the plight of the worker.
