I like 'The Grapes of Wrath' best. It's so powerful in depicting the struggles of the poor during the Depression. The way Steinbeck shows the journey of the Joad family, facing poverty, discrimination, and the unforgiving nature, really makes you feel for them.
Lying flat was one option. Lying flat refers to the fact that some young people choose to give up the pursuit of traditional success standards and no longer work hard. Instead, they choose to live a simple and peaceful life. This choice was a response to the rapid transformation of modern society and the single standard of success. Lying down was not giving up on hard work, but on the basis of recognizing reality, he made a decision that was more in line with his own needs. For those who chose to lie flat, they no longer pursued those unreachable dreams. Instead, they focused on the present and lived a simpler and more peaceful life. The phenomenon of lying flat was not unique to a certain country. Similar phenomena existed in other countries. The appearance of lying flat sent a signal that the social environment, the cost of living, and the path of growth were not comfortable for young people. In contrast, although lying flat was decadent, it was at least relatively not tiring. Lying flat was a new life philosophy and attitude, but it should not be regarded as a fixed code of conduct, but a way of behavior at a certain stage of life.
