    Chrysanthemums By Steinbeck Evaluation The Chrysanthemums, by John Steinbeck, is set in the beautiful valley of Salinas, California, during a time when California was the land of plenty.

    John SteinbeckS The Chrysanthemums Elisa Allen, Confused? Like many short stories, John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" deceives most readers by appearing to be a simple short story. "The Chrysanthemums," which only occupies about eight pages in textbooks, captures the emotional pain of a woman trying to live in the 1930's.

"Salinas was a typical American small town, [differing] only in location and a few distinctive features" (McCarthy 3). The protagonist of this story, Elisa Allen, also resembles Steinbeck's first wife. "Steinbeck probably based the character of Elisa Allen on his own first wife, Carol Henning Steinbeck. Like Elisa, Carol was a woman of considera ...

    The Chrysanthemums On Henry Allen's ranch east of Salinas Elisa plants yellow chrysanthemums as Henry is selling thirty head of cattle to agents of the Western Meat Company. After he and Scotty go to round up the cattle, a tinker shows up. He asks for work which Elisa says she hasn't. He asks for seeds for a lady on his route.
