    In Worksheet 5 we have two pictures, a photograph of a migrant

    woman during the period of the Great Depression, and the bookcover
    for The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Both illustrate the Dust
    Bowl and the flight to the West by destitute farmers after the 1929
    crash. They used the iconic Route 66 that even today remains a big part
    of American lore. A long winding road of more than 3,000 kilometers
    that crossed a major part of the USA from Chicago to Los Angeles. A
    symbol of the country used in movies and art works during most of the
    20th century. Route 66 was closed in the 1980s.
