Movie The Grapes Of Wrath - The raft and the Depression       In the movie The grapes of Wrath, the Joads undergo the hit of thedepression, they have to leave their farm.  They go to California for jobs, andfind there are few jobs, and it pays little, or at least less then what theywere told.  The government tried to start programs to house and employ multitude akin the Joads.  Since the peck who already lived in the cities in which thesedevelopments were put didnt want them there anyway, they tried to start a riotand have the police suss out them.  Although in the movie the plan was foiled, itcould have wagered in many other places, or the towns folk could have justcreated a lynch mob, and eventually the people living in the development wouldleave.         I believe that the economic situation of the country has a great effecton the fall, or succession of people like the Joads, but I dont believegovernmen t programs will effect them at all.  For example, the great depressionwas a major economical event, and it greatly established more then just people likethe Joads, but programs like the public works administration which employedpeople for government construction projects.  another(prenominal) program,  the WorksProgress Administration, later called the Works Projects Administration wascreated to develop relief programs, and to keep a persons skills.  From 1935-1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 meg dollars.  But in 1939,there were still 9.5 million still unemployed.  Another program was the CivilianConservation Corps.  Unemployed, unmarried young men were enlisted to work onconservation and resource-development projects such as soil conservation, floodcontrol, and protection of forests and wildlife. These men were provided withfood, lodging, and other necessities, and were given a small monthly salary.Another program was the CWA, the well -mannered works administration.  It employed morethen 4 million workers to build and repair roads, and teach in schools, werejust a couple of the jobs.         Some of these programs would work temporarily, but eventually therewould be no more work to do, or the government would run out of funds.  Allthese programs were hated by some, and love by others, and some just didntcare.  The business men that were lucky enough not to lose everything, and theother employees working in the cities who still had jobs during the depressiondidnt like these new programs.  In the movie, The Grapes Of Wrath, The townspeople didnt like the government funded version of a Hooverville.
