John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in California and tried unsuccessfully to establish himself as a writer in New York before returning to California. He wrote novels including Tortilla Flat (1935) and the more socially critical Of Mice and Men (1937). In the 1930s, the Great Depression and Dust Bowl caused widespread unemployment and poverty in America, forcing many to become migrant workers like the characters George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men. The novel uses their story to represent the difficulties of the time period and themes of loneliness.

Understanding 1937
The document discusses several key events and issues during the Great Depression era of the 1930s that provide context for John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men":
1) The Wall Street crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, a 10-year economic downturn that affected the entire Western world.
2) During the Great Depression, many were left unemployed and isolated, clinging desperately to dreams as portrayed in "Of Mice and Men".
3) The Dust Bowl of the 1930s caused severe dust storms that damaged the environment and agriculture of the US and Canada, forcing many farmers to abandon their homes and migrate west in search of work.
4) Racism was prevalent during
Of Mice and Men Context
The document discusses the origins and influences behind John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Originally titled "Something That Happened", Steinbeck changed the title after reading a poem by Robert Burns about a man feeling regret for destroying a mouse home. The Great Depression provided the backdrop for the novel, with its high unemployment, poverty, and loss of opportunities. The Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s ruined farmland and caused many families to migrate to California for work, as depicted in the story. While the American Dream promises equality and happiness, Steinbeck shows through the characters that racism, class divides, and difficulties of life challenged achieving this ideal.
The Great Depression
The Great Depression originated with the 1929 stock market crash in the United States and spread worldwide. Personal incomes, tax revenues, and prices dropped significantly, resulting in widespread unemployment and hunger. The Depression ended in many countries due to increased military spending leading up to World War 2, as many people found work in the military. During the 1930s, the Dust Bowl hit the American Midwest and Plains states with massive dust storms that caused extensive damage and forced many people from their homes, some becoming homeless due to lack of money and resources. Efforts were made to help the homeless, such as opening banks to save funds for rebuilding homes.
Of Mice and Men Context
The document discusses the context of John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. It describes migrant workers during the 1930s in America, who mostly worked long hours in farms and ranches for low pay and required permission to leave their state of employment. It also explains that the Great Depression was a worldwide economic crisis in the 1930s where the US stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread unemployment of 12-15 million Americans by 1936. Finally, it briefly mentions racism as another aspect of the time period.
Of Mice and Men Era
John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men is set during the Great Depression era and focuses on two migrant farm workers, George and Lennie, who have lost their jobs due to drought conditions caused by the Dust Bowl. The Dust Bowl led to widespread crop failures and job losses across America during the 1930s, making it difficult for migrant workers like the characters in Of Mice and Men to find steady work.
Of Mice and Men Context
The document summarizes key events in the late 1920s and 1930s in the United States, including the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl drought and dust storms that ravaged the Midwest, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's proposal to enlarge the Supreme Court. It also mentions the American Dream of prosperity, success, and upward mobility through hard work.
Of Mice and Men Era
The document discusses John Steinbeck and his book The Grapes of Wrath, which was influenced by his experiences during the Great Depression. It provides context about the Great Depression, describing it as the longest and most severe economic depression of the 20th century. It also discusses the concept of the American Dream, how it originated and became codified in the 1930s, and how it has been criticized for not being attainable for all due to inequality. Finally, it notes that two main characters in Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men have dreams of owning land and rabbits.
The Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s was a period of severe dust storms and drought in the central United States. It mostly affected the southern Great Plains, with dust storms and drought exacerbating the Great Depression. Over 100 million acres of land were affected, forcing many farmers to abandon their land. Many migrated west to California seeking work, becoming known as "Okies." The Dust Bowl had long-term impacts - counties that experienced high levels of erosion saw declines in agricultural land values of over 25% that were still not fully recovered decades later. Artists like photographers and musicians documented the Dust Bowl, helping publicize the crisis through iconic images like Dorothea Lange's "Destitute Pea Pickers."

The document provides historical context about 1920s America and the Great Depression. During the 1920s, many Americans experienced economic prosperity due to consumer goods and manufacturing. However, over 50% earned less than $2000 annually and poverty was widespread. The stock market crash of 1929 triggered the Great Depression, resulting in mass unemployment. Droughts and falling crop prices devastated farmers, leading many to migrate to California in search of work on farms. However, few migrants found the opportunity they sought in California.
Sec 4 e of mice and men
John Steinbeck is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author known for novels about the working class, such as Of Mice and Men. The novel chronicles the lives of two migrant farm workers, George and Lennie, seeking work in 1930s California during the Great Depression. It explores their hopes for owning a farm despite facing hardships like the Dust Bowl and being replaced by machinery. The title references a poem about best-laid plans often going wrong.
Social classes
The document summarizes social classes during the Great Depression in the 1930s in the United States. The lower class, comprised of unskilled laborers, was hit hardest by widespread unemployment following the stock market crash of 1929. Many were forced to live in poor urban areas or makeshift camps. The middle class tried to hide their financial struggles by keeping up appearances of wealth through spending and home improvements. The upper class lost money in the stock market but largely maintained their wealth, though tensions rose between them and the lower classes. Farmers also struggled with low crop prices and bad weather destroying their livelihoods.
Great Depression, edited
The document summarizes the key events of the Great Depression in the United States beginning in 1929. It describes how agricultural and industrial problems in the late 1920s led to a stock market crash in October 1929. This crash signaled the beginning of the Great Depression, a period from 1929 to 1940 when the economy plummeted and unemployment skyrocketed to 25%. As a result of the crash and ensuing Depression, banks collapsed, homelessness increased, and soup kitchens and makeshift shantytowns appeared across the country as millions lost their jobs and homes. Hardest hit were farmers in the Midwest who faced the additional crisis of the Dust Bowl drought.
The Of Mice and Men Era
John Steinbeck was born in California in 1902 and came from a modern family. He attended Stanford University but did not graduate and moved to New York City in 1925 to become a freelance writer, though he failed and returned to California. Steinbeck began writing his novella Of Mice and Men in 1937, two years before World War II. The novella contains zoomorphic imagery and explores the theme of the American Dream during the Great Depression, when unemployment reached 23.6% and over 5,000 banks failed in the United States.

1930's History
Herbert Hoover was president in the 1929 when the Great Depression began. He tried to pass laws to help end the depression but some programs made the situation worse. The stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread unemployment and poverty throughout the 1930s. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932 and introduced his New Deal programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform to address the Depression. His reforms included Social Security and jobs programs that helped boost the economy. World War II began in 1939 and the US entered the war in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor, which helped end the Great Depression.

Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and implemented the New Deal programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform. The document also describes photographer Dorothea Lange, known for her Depression-era photographs that humanized the consequences of rural poverty, such as her iconic 1936 image "Migrant Mother."
Effects of great depression basics
The Great Depression brought widespread hardship including homelessness, hunger, and unemployment across the United States. Millions lost their jobs and homes, resulting in makeshift shanty towns popping up in urban areas. Rural farmers faced difficulties too, with thousands losing their land between 1929-1932. The Dust Bowl drought in the 1930s exacerbated issues, destroying farms across the Great Plains and displacing many farmers who migrated west. Conditions were especially difficult for minorities, with increased violence against African Americans and Mexican Americans encouraged to leave.
How Did The Dust Bowl Affect Health
The Dust Bowl of the 1930s negatively impacted people's health and the economy in the Great Plains region of the United States. Prolonged drought combined with poor agricultural practices like over-plowing destroyed the natural grasses that held the soil in place. This led to massive dust storms that spread millions of tons of topsoil across the country. The Dust Bowl ruined farms, caused illnesses in children, and forced many families to abandon their homes in search of work.

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic downturn that began in some countries as early as 1928 and lasted until about 1939. In the US, it was associated with the stock market crash of 1929. During the worst years of 1933-1934, the overall US jobless rate was 25% and another 25% had reduced wages and hours. With high unemployment and poverty, many families lost their homes and lived in shantytowns called "Hoovervilles." The Dust Bowl drought from 1930-1940 exacerbated the situation, causing many farmers to abandon their land and migrate west in search of work. Racial minorities such as African Americans were disproportionately affected by the Depression.
Of mice and men context
John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in California and wrote novels about poor farm workers during the Great Depression. The Wall Street crash of 1929 led to widespread unemployment across America, with over 12 million people jobless. Many migrant workers traveled to California looking for work but found only poor living conditions in camps. Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men is set against this background of poverty and follows two ranch hands, George and Lennie, who are grateful to have work and shelter despite low pay.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

America in the 1930s
- 2. Steinbeck background John Steinbeck was born in 1902 in Salinas, California. He went to University but never graduated and in 1925 he went to New York to try and establish himself as a writer but he failed and returned to California. He wrote some novels and short stories and became known for Tortilla flat in 1935. After this he moved on to more serious fiction, often aggressive in its social criticism, and produced Of mice and men in 1937.
- 3. In the 1930s a huge dust storm cloud swept across south west America. It made farmland very difficult to grow things on and it was estimated that 100 million acres were affected by the storms. Tonnes of topsoil off the fields were blown in huge clouds hundreds of miles across the states with 60 mph winds destroying lots of farmland.
- 4. The great depression was a severe economic depression during the 1930s. It was triggered by the wall street crash, a huge stock crash that plummeted stock prices in 1929. In America this caused wide unemployment then poverty. In 1933 unemployment was at 25%, this combined with the dust bowl made the 1930s one of the worst eras in American history.
- 5. Because of this many workers had to move around a lot trying to find cheap labour to earn themselves a living. These were known as migrant workers and this is the situation George and Lennie were in Of mice and men. This depression and hard times are used to echo the whole theme of loneliness in the book and this is why Steinbeck chose to use these themes in the book.
- 6. Of Mice and men was wrote with ideas of symbolising all the problems of American society at the time in a microcosm created on the ranch. George and Lennie represent the pain and difficult lives of the migrant workers, Crookes represents the racial segregation in America at the time, and every character represents the loneliness of the great depression.
