Movie Version of Grapes Of Wrath - The People and the Depression :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

Movie The Grapes Of Wrath - The people and the Depression       In the word picture The grapes of Wrath, the Joads undergo the hit of the belief, they take hold to leave their farm.  They go to California for jobs, exceptfind there are few jobs, and it pays little, or at least less then what theywere told.  The government tried to start programs to house and pop off peoplelike the Joads.  Since the people who already lived in the cities in which thesedevelopments were compose didnt want them there anyway, they tried to start a riotand have the police Arrest them.  Although in the movie the plan was foiled, itcould have worked in many different places, or the towns folk could have andcreated a lynch mob, and eventually the people living in the development wouldleave.         I believe that the economic situation of the country has a great lay tabooon the fall, or succession of people like the Joads, but I dont believegovernment programs will effect them at all.  For example, the great depressionwas a major economical event, and it greatly effected more then just people likethe Joads, but programs like the public whole kit administration which employedpeople for government construction projects.  other program,  the whole kit and boodleProgress Administration, later called the Works Projects Administration wascreated to develop relief programs, and to backing a persons skills.  From 1935-1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 trillion dollars.  But in 1939,there were still 9.5 million still unemployed.  other program was the CivilianConservation Corps.  Unemployed, unmarried young men were enlisted to work onconservation and resource-development projects such as soil conservation, floodcontrol, and security of forests and wildlife. These men were provided withfood, lodging, and other necessities, and were given a small monthly salary.Anoth er program was the CWA, the civil works administration.  It employed morethen 4 million workers to build and repair roads, and teach in schools, werejust a couple of the jobs.         Some of these programs would work temporarily, but eventually therewould be no more work to do, or the government would run out of funds.  Allthese programs were hated by some, and loved by others, and some just didntcare.  The business men that were lucky enough not to lose everything, and theother employees working in the cities who still had jobs during the depressiondidnt like these new programs.  In the movie, The Grapes Of Wrath, The townspeople didnt like the government funded version of a Hooverville.
