Those two are some questions i have in mind, analyzing the psychology thats portrayed in chapter 1-10.

How are other people’s/groups of people’s actions worsening the situation? How bad do things have to get before people feel they have no option but to leave?

I would pay attention to how the role of economics and wealth influences the interactions between people.  Steinbeck demonstrates a strong tendency to showing how the relationships between groups of people are altered when economics and material conditions are involved.  In terms of how psychology is impacted by economics, Steinbeck shows that people in dire economic conditions can have elements of community present, but the fear of economic shortcomings can threaten such notions of harmony.  It seems to be a telling message in this particular economic crisis in which we are immersed right now.
