Mariah is writing a short essay about John Steinbeck for her English class. This is her first draft. (1) Though John Steinbeck is probably best known for his novel The Grapes of Wrath, this great American novelist had a lot of other novels, novellas, and short story collections. (2) Steinbeck most often wrote about the homeless and the hopeless in America, trying to live in an ever-changing country. (3) Many of his novels take place west of the Mississippi River. (4) The Grapes of Wrath, for example, follows a family who migrates from Oklahoma to California during the Dust Bowl. (5) Steinbeck himself was from California, which is why his works often take place in the West. (6) Steinbeck had a long career, beginning in 1929. (7) Steinbeck’s first novel, Cup of Gold, was published in 1929. (8) He did not receive much recognition for his works, however, until Tortilla Flat was published in 1935. (9) Steinbeck’s name soon became more well-known, and more people knew that he was a great American writer. (10) He kept writing for decades. (11) In 1962, Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
