The Events of 1937
explanatory Essay
1652 words
World, American, and regional events that occurred in 1937 were remarkably influential to history. The year of 1937 was marked by dynamic world leaders, intensifying international conflicts, economic struggles, record breaking athletes, and influential authors. Despite the fact that this year was a time of rising world instability and uncertainty, several admirable feats were still achieved.
John Steinbeck was a world renowned author of the twentieth century. He wrote numerous novels, many of which were about migrant farmers who struggled during times of economic downfall. Of Mice and Men, published in 1937, and The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939, both were written with influence of the Great Depression. Both of these novels were introduced to the cinematic world and received excessive amounts of attention. Critics raved over The Grapes of Wrath, and within a year of its publication Steinbeck was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. He also won a National Book Award and the Nobel Prize in literature during his career (Encyclopedia Britannica Online School Edition).
John Steinbeck was not the only influential writer of the 1930s; Robert Frost was also a dominant world figure that had a phenomenal impact on literature. Frost was one of the world’s most reputable poets of his time. He made his fame by writing poetry about his beautiful, scenic New England home. Frost struggled at the beginning of his career; he did not publish a work until he was in his late thirties. Despite Frost’s late start, he finally managed to make his fame in London, England. In 1913, his first book, A Boy’s Will, was published. This first publication was a major milestone for Frost. One year later, his second book, North of Boston, made its debut in England. ...

- Brief Biography of John Steinbeckanalytical essayIn 1937, though, Steinbeck got his first taste of real success. Now living in Los Gatos, California, he had four novels and a play published in just three years. He burst onto the literary scene with Of Mice and Men, and published the first three parts of The Red Pony the same year. The play of Of Mice and Men went on stage and won the Drama Critics' Circle Award. The next year, he published The Long Valley and the last part of The Red Pony. His big project for the year, however, was working and researching a great novel, to be published in 1939 under the title The Grapes of Wrath. With this book, Steinbeck insured his future in the literary world. The book was so controversial that Steinbeck had to worry about attempts on his life or reputation; even now, it (along with Of Mice and Men) often are found on lists of commonly banned books. It was so well thought of that it earned him a Pulitzer Prize. It was so influential that President Franklin D. Roosevlet met with Steinbeck personally after a letter to the President from Steinbeck about the German influence in Mexico. Steinbeck had been in Mexico working on a film, and throughout the rest of his life, motion pictures were a second medium for him. The film of Of Mice and Men was released in 1939, and the film of The Grapes of Wrath came out ...

It spanned over six continents and caused over fifty million deaths inclusive of both civilians and military personnel (Brinkley). The second war gave life to new problems. One major result of World War II was the start of the Great Depression. The depression brought Hitler to the zenith and helped the democracy of Germany and Europe. It was also instrumental in propelling Japan into conquest (Roberts). World War II also ended America’s isolation from the rest of the world which resulted in the formation of the United Nations (Brinkley). The war began when Nazi Germany attacked Poland in September 1939. Even then the United States had stood their grounds and decided not to intervene. Eventually, they did when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, in December of 1941. The start of World War II led to many unthinkable events. Many lives were lost and more importantly Japanese Americans were subjected to living in internment camps. Japan joined forces with the Allied powers but, played a small role in fighting German forces in East Asia. After a Paris Peace conference of 1919, Japan’s aim of making peace was shunned by Britain, Australia and the United States. World War II was by far the most horrific tragedy of its time and signified the end of a brutal and bloody war over democracy.

2328 wordsRead More - John Steinbeck's Accomplishmentsanalytical essayHis father was John Ernst Steinbeck and his mother was Olive Hamilton Steinbeck (DeMott xiv). Steinbeck’s life was rather unremarkable until his enrollment in Stanford University in 1919 where, he took courses in English and literature intermittently until 1925 when he left the university without obtaining a degree. Steinbeck wrote 17 novels in total during his career as an author, including his three of his most successful: In Dubious Battle, written in 1936, Of Mice and Men, written in 1937, and the book that was the pinnacle of his career: The Grapes of Wrath, which was written in 1939 (Penguin Group I). Steinbeck had a personal interest in telling the stories of the agricultural workers, as he spent the summers of his youth working on nearby ranches and sugar beet farms with migrant workers (“John Steinbeck”). Although Steinbeck spent months researching and interviewing migrant workers as a basis for the novel, he only spent four short months writing The Grapes of Wrath: as a result, Steinbeck was extremely concerned that he would not be able to accurately portray the migrant workers plight to the American public (DeMott vii-viii). When his novel finally hit the shelves, it became an unimaginable success, selling over 400,000 copies in its first year and becoming the number one bestseller of 1939 (DeMott viii-ix). The novel’s success did not end there, in 1940 The Grapes of Wrath
