The Jungle
Do you think Steinbeck and Sinclair had the same purpose in mind when writing their novels?
They are very similar novels due to the economic and social problems the characters face. Both books show how one cannot succeed in a country like this if they follow the rules. In The Jungle Jurgis wishes to be rich in America while the Joads just want to find work to survive. Both face the economic problems from the Joads having to sell all their belongings and only getting a small amount while Jurgis has horrible working conditions(pay and such) Both novels reveal that no matter how hard you try you can't succeed unless you have a one-sided view. I think both writers wanted their audience to see the deplorable things that happened in that time. Yes I believe that they had the same purpose of writing these novels.
