Between the chapters about the Joads, interchapters appear; these provide more general accounts of the many migrant workers like the Joads. Steinbeck clearly does not agree with this treatment, and uses this book to help in ending the problem. Steinbeck expertly applies a somber yet passionate tone, personification, and dark imagery to both inform

The doctor won’t like it,’”
Before Kino’s discovery of the pearl, Coyotito was ill because of a scorpion sting. Kino and Juana went to the doctor to get help for Coyotito, but they were rejected. “Have I nothing better to do than cure insect bites for ‘little Indians’? I am a doctor, not a veterinary.” (Steinbeck 701) After
