Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on a poor family of sharecroppers, the Joads, driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agriculture industry. In a nearly hopeless situation, partly because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, they set out for California along with thousands of other "Okies" in search of land, jobs and dignity. The Grapes of Wrath is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes.

☂ . Complication——California is not all that.
Over three hundred thousand people have moved to California, all looking for the same thing: jobs. The Joads can't find any jobs and can't settle down. They are hungry, they are tired, they lose four members of the family.
There's been a drought, dust storms are rampant, crops are dead, the economy is weak, and landowners must kick tenant farmers (like the Joads) off of the land.
