Answer:

Answer to the following question is as follows

Step-by-step explanation:

The main goal of Steinback's novel The Grapes of Wrath is to demonstrate how one family's hardship is representative of many other farming families. He wrote it to show the terrible working and living conditions of California's migrant labourers in the 1930s.

The Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck stated that his objective was to "tear a reader's emotions to rags." Steinbeck hoped that readers would be able to experience the lives of the Dust Bowl immigrants with someone he had spent time.
