Answer:

John Steinbeck.

Explanation:

John Ernst Steinbeck Jr, an American writer famous for his works on the lives of the people living during and around the Dust Bowl, said in his Nobel acceptance speech in 1962 that

"<em>The ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement</em>."

His speech was a form of relaying a message that writers like him had to do in order to make known to people the various but harsh realities of life. His take on the migrant farmers' lives during the Dust Bowl in "The Grapes of Wrath" gave him a huge credit for revealing the truth and the lives led by these farmers.

Why does Blanche not<br> acknowledge Stella as she<br> leaves? Add Evidence
Scrat [10]
Blanche, by retreating into hysteria and madness, and by refusing to acknowledge her sister as she leaves the apartment with the doctor, may be sparing Stella the horror of having to face the truth about her husband. Blanche's descent into madness shields Stella from the truth.
