The Octopus by Frank Norris (C)

Explanation:

The octopus by Frank Norris dramatized the conflicts over land between the wheat farmers in the West (San Joaquin valley) against the power monopolized southern and pacific railroad companies.

The dramatization by Frank Norris was expressed through the technique of literary naturalism when he wrote the novel. the conflicts were mainly over the used of lands belonging to the wheat farmers by the railroad companies for the construction and operation of the rail system transportation. The farmers wanted their land for the cultivation of wheat while the companies wanted the land for construction of rail lines.
