Sustenance as a Symbol in The Grapes Of Wrath Sustenance as a Symbol in The Grapes Of WrathIn The Grapes of Wrath, families heading out to California endure starvation and weariness due to malnourishment. The Dust Bowl is a physical encapsulation of their starvation. Perhaps more significant than the physical sustenance is the psychological and passionate parts of sustenance, explicitly relating to the Joad family. In light of their progressing starvation, their issues with intersection America and managing the law and the profound turning of Tom, Steinbeck investigates various sorts of sustenance in the Grapes of Wrath. Genuinely, the voyaging individuals are starving, since they can't cultivate the land that had a place with them. The land itself is starving, because of the great soil being overwhelmed, leaving stifled earth and sand. These variables intensify one another: the terrible soil prompts starvation work, which implies the ranchers can't re-empower the dirt, which proceeds with the cycle. In The Grapes of Wrath, Tom Joad represents this battle.
