TEXT II
The Grapes of Wrath
By John Steinbeck
The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression, a
book that galvanized—and sometimes outraged—millions of
readers.
First published in 1939, Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning
5 epic of the Great Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl
migration of the 1930s and tells the story of one Oklahoma
farm family, the Joads—driven from their homestead and
forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of
their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard
10 realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots
evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its
scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but
ultimately stirring in its human dignity. A portrait of the conflict
between the powerful and the powerless, of one man’s fierce
15 reactions to injustice, and of one woman’s stoical strength, the
novel captures the horrors of the Great Depression and
probes into the very nature of equality and justice in America.
At once a naturalistic epic, a captivity narrative, a road novel, and
transcendental gospel, Steinbeck’s powerful landmark novel
20 is perhaps the most American of American Classics.

TEXT III
Book Review:
Blood Relations: The Rise and Fall of the Du Ponts of Delaware
Barbara Klaw
By Leonard Mosley
It is hard to read the history of America since 1800 without
running into du Ponts. The first patriarch helped Jefferson
negotiate the Louisiana Purchase; generations later, du
Ponts designed the first secret atomic plants in World War II.
5 The family business has provided gunpowder of increasing
sophistication for all of America’s wars from 1812 on, and du
Pont chemists have produced dozens of items as
indispensable in our lives as cellophane and nylon.
10 That we know less about individual du Ponts than about
Rockefellers or Vanderbilts, Mosley says in this highly
entertaining history of the dynasty, is because self-appointed
family archivists and the company’s “tight-lipped public
relations men” have for years sanitized the record. Only
15 recently have scholars been permitted to poke around in
family papers.
The first Pierre Samuel du Pont advocated marriage between
cousins to ensure “honesty of soul and purity of blood.”
20 Several generations later, the reigning patriarch was
grumbling that “the thinning” of that pure blood by inbreeding
was producing freaks. But the intermarrying cousins, most of
them clustered around the original family holdings on the
Brandywine River, went right on producing scores of little
25 Pierre Samuels, Alfreds, and Irénées with the typical long du
Pont noses, and the family disposition toward tuberculosis.
By the 1920’s, the close Delaware clan was the richest family
in America.
30 Mosley’s lively chronicle weaves together a sweeping
business history—well larded with corporate dirty tricks—
and the personal stories of dozens of du Ponts, the
honorable ones, the stuffy ones, and the outrageous ones.
The family may regret that they ever let the scholars in.
