Excerpts from __The Grapes of Wrath__, written by John Steinbeck:

"But I like to think how nice it's gonna be, maybe, in California. Never cold. An' fruit ever'place, an' people just bein' in the nicest places, like whire houses in among the trees. I wonder-that is, if we all get jobs an' all work-maybe we can get one of them little white houses" (Steinbeck, 124).

"...an' we'll have a place, little bit of a place. We don't want nothin' fancy, but we want it nice for the baby..." (Steinbeck, 224).

"But he says they's too many folks lookin' for work right there now. An' he says the folks that pick the fruit live in dirty ol' camps an' don't hardly get enough to eat" (Steinbeck, 124).

"If we all work, purty soon we'll live in a nice house" (Steinbeck, 509).

"I'm learin' one thing good...If you're in trouble or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones" (Steinbeck, 513).
