Sounds like the way The Grapes of Wrath should have ended.

As I recall, the novel mentions that some farmers stayed and fought, but they were ineffective and the protagonists did not stay and fight.

While written by a jew, Grapes of Wrath was the best book I was forced to read in high school. I loved that book.

He's a good author. He constantly stirs the class conflict pot but aside from that they're good books.

I respect anyone that is "intellectually" solid. Stienbeck is certainly one of them.

Steinbeck being a Jew could explain why Jim Casy is a "bizzaro world" version of Jesus Christ who becomes a martyr for communism.

I agree that it was definitely up there in quality among the mandatory reading for high schoolers.
