I will compare the situation of the Dust Bowl and its effect on the farmers that became migrant workers to the current situation with Nicaragua whose population has migrated to Costa Rica. First I will analyze the causes of such movement and compare and contrast such (mainly for radical economic situations. And in the case of Nicaragua: for ongoing political instability—both lack of job sources). Secondly, compare the change in the life styles for these people (What they went through: examples are in intercalary chapters that explain how the values, fear and highway changed the men). Thirdly, I will explain the living conditions of such people: their work, the little opportunity, the hostility of the place they migrated to and the harsh life styles and conditions. Last, I will compare the situation of the family Joad to that of a maid here in Costa Rica who is a Nicaraguan (Her trip although very different to that of the Joads, resembles Ma’s life, changes, determination and devotion; as well as many of the difficult situations such as extreme poverty and scarcity of jobs).
