Active reading notes Grapes of Wrath

Story starts off with a family in Oklahoma when the Joad family goes though the depression then decides to get better luck going to get work in California
The family goes through many rough times as the work in California isn't up to the standards the Joads were expecting
They jump from town to town and house to house finding new jobs by the day with Tom Joad trying his best to support his family the best he can
The family wants to travel where Tom goes but it doesn't seem to be working out as Tom feels he is bringing the family down with his choices and leads to his eventual leaving.
What forced Steinbeck I write this?
Are they from real time experiences?
What fueled Tom Joads extreme passion to help his family?
People often dont know what fuels a passion much like what we talked about in our sacratic seminar what fuels you to be passionate about something? Or fuels Toms passions?
