Do Now: What is your experience with homelessness? Do you know anyone who has been homeless? Are there homeless people in your neighborhood? Have you had a personal experience with homelessness? You do not need to share this response if you are not comfortable.

Homelessness has been, and continues to be, one of the most pervasive social issues facing America. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl uprooted hundreds of thousands of Americans. At its worst, the Depression saw 25% of the work force unemployed. People lost not only their jobs, but their homes, their land, and any savings they might have had.
The average person struggling to survive the Depression is a common theme in the writings of Steinbeck. In The Grapes of Wrath, the Depression and the Dust Bowl are virtually characters in the novel, shaping the lives of the Joads and others around them. However, in Of Mice and Men, the great migration of men, women, and children caused by the Depression and the Dust Bowl is more of a traditional element of setting – yet important nonetheless.
Several hundred thousand people fled North and West during the 1930s. Yet these regions were not immune from the effects of the Depression.
