stances, there may notbe a lot of realistic people who are remembered. If you have ever read the book,and anytime after that you hear the name of the book, you would automaticallythink of three people: Tom Joad, Ma Joad, and Jim Casy because they leavesuch an impact on you. But on more realistic terms, I think the only person whois really not spoke a lot about, but is still remembered today, is the presidentsduring the era which this story occurred: Herbert C.

Or maybe it would have gone unresolved until somethingbig, like a war in this case, came along and created more jobs. Something likethe Great Depression has unpredictable resolutions.

Anotherway could be that the government should have lowed taxes more or thegovernment should have helped out the banks more so people wouldn’t havebecome so broke because they would have had the banks help, people like theJoads in this case. I would have chosen that the federal government should have helped outthe people ...
