Excerpts from //The Grapes of Wrath//

"At last he came to the wire fence, five strands of taut barbed wire. Beside the fence he lay on his back, moved his head under the lowest strand, held the wire up with his hands and slid himself under, pushing against hte ground with his feet. He was about to get up when a group of men walked by on the edge of the highway. Tom watied until they were far ahead before he stood up and followed them." pp. 519-520

" 'Well, they dropped the price like you said. An' they was a whole slew a new pickers so goddamn hungry they'd pick for a loaf a bread. Go for a peach, an' somdbody'd get it first. Gonna get the whol crop picked right off. Fellas runnin' to a new tree. I seen fights-one fella claims a gtree, 'nother fella wants to pick off'n it. Brang these here folks from as far's El Centro. Hungrier'n hell. Work all day for a piece a bread.' "
