The Grapes of Wrath alternates between a limited third person narrator that follows the Joad family, and an omniscient, impersonal third person narrator. The odd chapters are usually historical narrative, and the style is consistently impersonal and removed. The even chapters follow the Joads, and the narrator is subsequently more personal and limited.
