The saying, //money never sleeps// is completely true. Money is always moving, being exchanged, and in our mind flourishing our economy. Unlike Newton's law, //an object in motion stays in motion,// the flourishing flow of money in an economy can easily come to a stop. Reading the works of John Steinbeck, specifically the //Grapes of Wrath//, the reader is able to hear the story of a family who at once had it all, money, happiness, and friends, and then completely lost it all. The economy then as it is now took a sudden turn for the worse. People, both past and present are losing their homes, money, prized and sentimental possessions. The family in the novel had to give up everything they owned because the bank now owned anything they possessed. Beyond the fact that the bank owned everything they owned, they had to get rid of their memories because they didn't have enough space to carry it on their travels to find work. The one thing that differs today from the storyline of the //Grapes of Wrath// is that people today aren't afraid to use their freedom of speech and protest. The Occupy Movement came to life a couple of months ago. They like many characters in the book share the same feelings about the bank in the American economy which is it being very overpowering. But, the people of today have fought the police, protested, camped out and tried to get their points across. Whether they are being heard or not, the one thing about the Occupy Movement is that they haven't given up and they aren't afraid of authority. They will fight for what they believe is right.
