25、ted people into rich and poor,landowner and tenant,and the people in the dominant roles struggled viciously to preserve their positions.,The Saving Power of Family and Fellowship,The Grape of Wrath chronicled the story of two families:the Joads and the collective body of migrant workers.Although the
26、 Joads were joined by blood,the text argued that it was not their genes but their loyalty and commitment to one another that established their true kinship.When the Joads met the Wilsons in a remarkable short time,the two groups merged into one,sharing one anothers hardships and committing to one an
27、others survival.,This merging took place among the migrant community in general as well:“twenty families became one family,the children were the children of all.The loss of home became one loss,and the golden time in the West was one dream.”In the face of adversity,the livelihood of the migrants dep
28、ended upon their union.As Tom eventually realized,“his”people was all people.,The Multiplying Effects of Selfishness and Altruism.,According to Steinbeck,many of the evils that plagued the Joads and the migrants stemmed from selfishness.Simple self-interest motivated the landowners and businessmen t
29、o sustain a system that sank thousands of families into poverty.In contrast to this policy of selfishness,the migrants behavior toward one another stood for altruism.Realizing that their livelihood and survival depended upon their devotion to the collective,the migrants unitedsharing their dreams as
30、 well as their burdensin order to survive.,The Dignity of Wrath,Steinbeck made a clear connection in his novel between dignity and rage.As long as people maintain a sense of injusticea sense of anger against those who seek to undercut their pride in themselvesthey will never lose their dignity.The J
31、oads stood as exemplary figures in their refusal to be broken by the circumstances that conspired against them.At every turn,Steinbeck seemed to intent on showing their dignity and honor;he emphasized the importance of maintaining self-respect in order to survive spiritually.,Mine eyes have seen the
