Any direct nods to The Grapes of Wrath?


Sorry to bother but my son needs to find a piece of art that eludes to any scene in the Grapes of Wrath & this show sounded like a great place to look! Thank you to anyone who can help us because we're So Very stuck!!

hmmm. I
couldn't say
for sure, since I
can't remember the
book, but Carnivale
is set during the depression.
Check this link out. Doesn't say
too much, but still fascinating.

Thank you so very much! He needed an art that directly eluded to the "Grapes of Wrath" and I thought music is art so we picked out Bruce Springsteen's "Ballad of Tom Joad" which quotes the "Grapes of Wrath". oddly enough so does South Park!

I noticed when I came to the site that the series has a great rating and sounded interesting when I was reading about the Dust Bowl seaso. In this show. I will definitely watch your clip!
Thank you again. It is so very appreciated!
