I think that grapes of wrath does successfully establish sympathy for the farmers during the dust bowl because it goes behind the scene to show how the people that were affect by the depression. i was new because i didn't know the pain that the families had to go through just so that they could provide a better life for their family. For example the Joad family who is struggling to keep everyone alive. the grandma and grandpa had already died, Casey is is jail, Connie was left behind, and tom is risking a parole violation to stay with his family. this book, in my opinion does establish sympathy for the Joad family, who were farmers originally.
