Why would his writing be upsetting to some people?Expert AnswersJamie Wheeler, Certified EducatorSteinbeck wrote about what he saw honestly. During the Great Depression, he wrote about poverty and displacement (人们的离家). During World War Ⅱ, he wrote about the war (The Moon is Down). That honesty was upsetting to many people who preferred to think of America uniformly as “the land of the free and the home of the brave”. The socio economic status of those displaced by society, either by our government or by others, was something Steinbeck would repeatedly address in In Dubious Battle, Tortilla Flat, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men and so on. Although he was repeatedly accused of being a communist, nothing could be further from the truth. Furthermore, Steinbeck worked tirelessly as a war journalist during the Vietnam War and was a speech writer for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. His love for our country is more than evident in one of his last published works, a nonfictional account of his crosscountry travels, Travels with Charley. Despite all of evidence to the contrary, however, Steinbeck continues to be branded as antiAmerican for his criticism of the treatment of our citizens, especially in The Grapes of Wrath.Steinbeck is also controversial because of his determined refusal to keep writing novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Despite its being arousing the rebellion, booksellers didn't mind cashing in on its popularity in the least. They were less than thrilled when Steinbeck refused to produce any more novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Instead, Steinbeck insisted on taking on new forms and themes.Katem Schults, Certified EducatorJohn Steinbeck wrote about underprivileged populations—groups of people who had tough times surviving and would sometimes turn to any means necessary. Literature is a reflection of ourselves and our society. Many people don't like to be reminded of the unpleasant sides of our society, especially when there's no easy solution for these people.Another consideration is Steinbeck's motive. Many people don't appreciate it when artists use underprivileged groups for their artistic value.4、In Jamie Wheeler's opinion, why was Steinbeck controversial?A. Steinbeck was too honest in life.B. Steinbeck didn't love his country.C. Steinbeck was a communist and was antiAmerican.D. Steinbeck described the unpleasant sides of America.5、Which of Steinbeck's works is about his own experiences?A. The Mo。
