Commentaire sur un texte et une image (LLCE Anglais 2ème année)

Abstract

Our purpose is to compare and contrast a text and a painting, whose common theme is an unwillingly migration of farmers due to unbearable environmental or/and economic circumstances. The text is an excerpt of Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of the Wrath" (published in 1939), which deals with the farmers who moved from the Great Plains to California, driven by poverty due to the Dust Bowl during the "Dirty Thirties".
