I believe that class in America today has changed only in the //slightest// bit. In John Steinbeck's __The Grapes Of Wrath__, we learn of the story of the Joads, a poor, lower class family, that struggles through their situation of living. Kicked from their home, they make the best of what they have in order to assure a future life for the family. I believe that in many ways, that has not changed at all today. I believe that to this day, Americans still make use of the tools they have, in most cases that would be family. A prime example of this is when the Joads move and try to get work, they //all// try to get work. They do what they can to survive, and I believe that to this day, no matter what financial status you are in, Americans always work their hardest to stay alive. What I do think has changed, is the perception of life to Americans. Now, there are more debt relieving problems than ever. What I see today is the will for many americans to help others in their situations, unlike when the Joads were thrown out of their home without notice.
