Salinas Valley in the 1930's

          I have decided to answer the 2nd prompt of the questions on Salinas Valley. When the dust bowl happened many immigrants moved to Salinas Valley in hope for a new life. The migrants that moved here were frowned upon because lots of the jobs were taken and migrants often stole food/supplies. The residence that lived around them were hostile and made sure they knew they were unwanted. This could effect the plot of the novel because they could be unwanted and have problems with the people who lived in Salinas valley, George and Lennie's plan was to live and farm on a ranch,but there is a possibility that people will not accept them because they are immigrants. this could create great tension between the initial residents and George and Lennie.
