Efficient Streaming Protocol for Transmitting Video Files

Efficient Streaming Protocol for Transmitting Video FilesChapter one creative activityChapter OneIntroduction1.1 MotivationInformation in computer science might be represented in multiple forms. In the beginning the get-go use forms of information were textual matter and images, after the huge increase of using computers and cyberspace another type of information appears, it is the hyper text which is the combination of text and images. Hyper text is text pages that connected by hyper links (hyper link nominate non linear irritate to the text pages no need to view all the pages sequentially to access a specific page) and then new forms are used wish Audio and motion pictures or photographs, nowadays a combination of these representations as advantageously as the handed-down forms (text and images) is called multimedia LIZ04.Multimediais a data type may contain multiple types of information like audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (text, graphics, d rawings and images), Digital multimedia is a data type represented by series of snatchs and manipulated by both(prenominal) multimedia applications and stored on somewhat storage units like on CD or DVD or in multimedia emcees.Digital multimedia piece of ass be interactive (non linear access) that can be manipulated with computer programs (create, edit, transfer), or non interactive (linear access) where the viewer is unable to control the multimedia like the presentation of movie in the cinema LIZ04.Hypermedia is a collecting of many types of information like text, images even videos in one website or more that are connected together by some hyper links that provide non linear access to the media like encyclopedia which user can jump from article to the other or jump to the next mark in DVD. The judge 1.1 below shows the structure of Hypermedia.Figure 1.1 HypermediaMultimedia applications are a computer based programs that are protrudeed to manipulate multimedia data with divers(prenominal) sources like text, graphics, audio and video NIE07.Multimedia applications can be found in many areas such asEducation, nowadays computer based cooking applications that marked to simulate the scientific experiments by creating the reactions environment and show the hypothetical results that should be produced from the row materials that will react in the reaction environment, these applications are safer for students from some experiments in real world as well they use some visual effects to explain some phenomenon like physical, chemical and geographic learning applications.Advertising, multimedia applications can be found in advertising and journalism like the advertising of products and places like restaurants and companies, in journalism nowadays electronic copies of magazines and journals.Entertainment, in this field multimedia is used to design video games and visual effects of games and movies, interactive multimedia is used heavily in video games that the user participates altogether or with others on the same computer or all over the mesh not just sit and watch.Industrial sector, multimedia is used as a way to help present information to shareholders, superiors and coworkers. Multimedia is also helpful for providing employee training, advertising and selling products all over the world via virtually unlimited web-based technology. mathematicalandscientific research, multimedia is mainly used for modeling and simulation. For example, ascientistcan look at amolecular modelof a particular sum and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance. Representative research can be found in journals such as theJournal of Multimedia, in engineering multimedia applications now used to design buildings and machines before implementing them in real world LIZ04.Since multimedia represents some motion captured and stored on some extraneous place there must be some kind of delivery mechanism to transfer multimedia cross-files from its source (p roducer) to the destination (consumer) LIZ04.Multimedia delivery can be divided into two categories offline and online delivery, offline delivery means transferring multimedia, without using internet, by using removable storage medium like CD-ROM to the hard discus on one station, multimedia was spread widely after the increase using of CDs DVDs and now Blue barb which are large storage media can hold the large size of multimedia files, online delivery (also called Streaming) uses the internet for transferring the multimedia from the producer which is usually a master of ceremonies with bulky storage to the consumer which is the invitee who can be any terminal mobile phone, personal computer or television and takes into consideration the statues of the meshwork the leaf node and server are connected to.Online delivery transmits video files for events happened at the same time like video conferences, football games or video calls or already processed and stored videos like vide o clips and movie trailers, online delivery multimedia and websites should be written in an efficient way to transmit or deliver the multimedia files and they are able to be read by the knob, also there must be enough resources for the meshwork and the guest (which are forthcoming bandwidth, network throughput, congestion, and for the client the available buffer and clients device speed, etc..) in order to transmit the multimedia file efficiently and the client has a happy experience NIE07LIZ04.The adaptive cyclosis is the process of transmit videos from the server to the client over internet in an efficient way depending on the network and clients statues to deliver videos faster and fewer pauses different qualities are saved to the same video and the server switches between these qualities according to the network and clients statues.In this thesis, a proposed protocol for cyclosis videos in adaptive way is introduced the protocol has two sides the server or the sending pa rity which is responsible of transmitting the video files to the client in an adaptive way and the receiving party known as the client who receives the videos and displays them on his screen, adaptive means taking into consideration the statues of network like the available bandwidth in order to transmit the video file to the client smoothly, the processing of the video files is done on line, in other dustup the video frames are processed during the infection according to the available bandwidth measured at the moment, dislike the used technologies nowadays which they save more than one copy of the video file with different turn of events pass judgment and transmit the proper snowflakerate version of the video to the client according to the available bandwidth.Literature ReviewIn this section reviews to some related work for this thesis about the dynamic video streaming over the internetA Buffer-Driven Approach to Adaptively Stream Stored Video over internet, by Dejian Ye YED0 2, In dynamic video streaming technique many parameters can affect the streaming operation of video from a server to client one of these parameters is the buffer size of the sending and receiving parts, authors focused on the server and client buffer size and according to their statues server decide the choice of genetic video, the buffer size and amount of available buffer size in the sender and receiver sides decide the prime(prenominal) of the transmitted video from the server to the client.ENet can-do QoS Controller for Video Streaming Application, by Qingyang Wang WAN10, the popularity of video on demand and streaming over the internet increased and the limitations between the server and the client that may appear during streaming like supporting data type or bandwidth or computer speed and throughput and how to maintain a good QOS the authors design Enet which is a tool added to the server. Enet is a simple Fuzzy System used to switch between multiple bit rate versions of video, it picks the most appropriate bit rate to the clients properties, this method takes a large storage space since it stores multiple versions of video with different bit rate for each video copy.Adaptation Algorithm for Adaptive Streaming over HTTP, by Konstantin Miller MIL12. Internet videos (live or on demand) take a large amount of internet traffic, in this paper authors build an algorithm for the client side which tries to improve the delivery of video to the client by making client selects the appropriate bit rate depending on the client and network conditions like bandwidth available buffer and network throughput. They integrated the algorithm with a prototype implementation of a streaming client based on the MPEG DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) standard which divide the video file into segments and each segment is saved in a number of different bit rates and client take the responsibility of selecting the most appropriate bit rate depending on the clients an d network state. The design of the algorithm download the video file as segments one after the other and it uses one buffer that results client cannot receive the segment N unless it actualize receiving segment N-1.Confused, Timid, and Unstable Picking a Video Streaming Rate is Hard, by Te-Yuan Huang HUN12, Hulu, Vudu and Net Flux are three video streaming service providers that provide videos with high quality to the users with some fee. Videos provided by these services are divided to chunks with multiple bit rates for each chunk (when bit rate is slow chunk size is small and high bit rate the chunk size is big) and server switches between these chunks with different bit rates according to the available bandwidth. The problem is when requesting a video and start watching it and after some time another video requested a descending(prenominal) spiral effect appears which is bit rate goes down to the lowest level despite there is enough bandwidth for higher bit rate.USING SCALABLE depiction CODING FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTIVE TREAMING OVER HTTP IN MOBILE ENVIRONMENTS, by Christopher Muller MUL12, DASH is the approach that is used to transfer video over the internet in dynamic way to the user, its done by saving multiple copies of the video each copy with different bit rate and the server starts switching between these copies or bitrates according to clients specifications. In this paper authors uses scalable video cryptanalysis (SVC) instead of advanced video coding (AVC or H264) which provide more flexibility to the system with the available bandwidth and the buffer size, But if the client switches from one bit rate to the other (higher or lower) and he already requested a chunk before, this chunk will be canceled. The server will save multiple copies of video as a assemblage of chunks. SVC experiment and code depend on windows so its not available to other operating systems.OPTIMIZING HTTP-BASED ADAPTIVE VIDEO STREAMING FOR WIRELESS door NETWORKS by Xiaoling Qi u Qui 13, Authors in this paper propose new approach for dynamic streaming videos over HTTP their approach measure the available bandwidth of the network and clients CPU speed and old measurements into account to select the best video quality using an optimization algorithm. This method contains optimization algorithm to select quality of segments to be sent to the client, but this method suffer from high computation rate.Aim of thesisThe aim of this thesis is to build an efficient streaming protocol for transmitting video files from the server to the client with accepted waiting time at the client side.The work in the thesis focuses on video files transmission to provide the accepted delivery time, videos usually are large size files this needs compression method to be used to reduce the video file size when the available bandwidth is below the required level for transmitting videos without compression, also this thesis takes into consideration the quality of the delivered video, t he quality of the received video is maintained since the used compression technique in the proposed protocol is lossless technique so there is no loss in the transmitted video file quality at the client side.Another important side in video streaming technique is the buffer management the proposed streaming protocol uses a inconstant size for the buffers at the server side and the client side. This approach guarantees the efficient delivery of the required video file without take more than the required reposition space.The limitations that affect the proposed protocol execution areThe execution on the internet is hard because it needs to reserve domain in a server over the internet, so the proposed protocol implemented on Local Area Network.The bandwidth values are not real and they were generated randomly to simulate the change on the available bandwidth in real world but the limit of bandwidth was selected depending on used LAN defined bandwidth.Outlines of the thesisThis thesis is organized in five chapters as followsChapter one IntroductionThis chapter begins with explanation of the meaning of multimedia and its applications in real world and also contains a list of reviews works related to this work.Chapter two hypothetic BackgroundThis chapter contains description of the main concepts of video file, video streaming, compression and quality.Chapter Three Video Streaming ProtocolThis chapter contains the proposed streaming protocol between the server and the client that satisfy the aim of this thesis of delivering video from the server to the client with little or no pauses and with acceptable quality.Chapter Four Experimental ResultsThis chapter contains the results of the video streaming protocol introduced in the thesis.Chapter Five Conclusion and Future workThis chapter contains the conclusions and the future work for the thesis.1

Review of Case Study Methodology

Review of encase Study MethodologyIn the social sciences, a detailed analysis (or case get wind report) is a distinct, exploratory or illustrative dissection of an individual, assembly or occasion. An informative look endeavor is utilized to investigate causation so as to discover underlying standards. C beful investigations whitethorn be probable (in which criteria are created and cases appropriate the principles are constituted as one get accessible) or review (in which criteria are made for selecting cases from chronicled records for consideration in the study).the research endeavor methodology displayed is an observational analysis that explores a contemporary issue inside its genuine connection. Comprehending the issue and its answer obliges incorporating a heap of commonly subordinate variables or bits of proof that are liable to be assembled in any event incompletely by particular perception. In spite of the item that a normal meaning of careful investigations exists, o ne may experience different sorts of detailed analyses. Keeping in mind the end goal to comprise clear to which sort of careful investigation the presented strategies for learning reconciliation ought to be connected, we will quickly portray distinctive sorts of research endeavors. A definite abide by of research endeavors is given by Yin (1989). A critical refinement must be made amidst all-encompassing and implanted detailed analyses (Yin, 1994291). A wide careful investigation is formed by a completely qualitative approach that depends on account, phenomenological depictions. Subjects and speculations may be imperative however ought to remain subordinate. This paper focuses on the implemental case research methodinvolving ADHD and management of the obesity. The instrumental case research method looks at a particular situation with the receive of understanding the situation.As a research method, instrumental research focuses on providing insight into issues or help to redef ine a theory. According to Yin(1994 285), it offers secondary hobby that plays a supportive roleThe case is of auxiliary investing it assumes a steady part, encouraging our comprehension of something else. The case is frequently taken a gander at in profundity its connections examined, its normal exercises definite, whats more than on the grounds that it helps the analyst seek after the outer investment(Bennett and Elman, 2006 250). The case might be seen as commonplace of different cases. The capacity to take a gander at sub-units that are arranged inside a bigger case is effective when you consider that information might be investigated inside the subunits independently (inside case dissection), between the distinctive subunits (between case investigation), alternately over the sum of the subunits (cross-case investigation) (Chetty, 199673). The capacity to participate in such(prenominal) rich investigation just serves to better enlighten the case. The entanglement that learner analysts fall into is that one break down at the singular subunit aim and neglect to come back to the worldwide issue that one at first set out to address (Yin, 2003).As a review of the instrumental case study method, the paper focuses on the Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder and the Clinical Management of obesity (Pagoto Curtin et al 2012 83)The study adopted the following diddleAttention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been associated with increased risk for obesity and obesity treatment failure. The present paper discusses how features of ADHD, including inattention, reward sensitivity and impulsivity, may impact obesity risk and have implications for the management of obesity. In addition, we review emerging research on how obesity may contribute to brain changes that are associated with ADHD-like symptoms. Finally, suggestions for improving the clinical management of obesity in patients with ADHD are discussed, including pharmacological treatment, exercise and cognitive behavior therapy. ADHD is a barrier to the clinical management of obesity and more research is needed to further understand the link between ADHD and obesity. Effective treatment approaches are needed given the significant fuss patients with ADHD encounter in their attempts to regulate their weight in the contestof obesogenic environments.(Pagoto Curtin et al 2012 83)The research offers a summary of the effects of ADHD on the management of obesity. The research seeks to identify the management of the weight and food habits of the patients. The barrier of the management of the obesity is a fertile ground for further studies. The research question of the study isDo Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder raise the risks on the management of obesity thus increasing the risk of obesity?The research methods embraced in the study incorporate the utilization of medicinal records which incorporate a dissection. The agenda of intermediation typologies which distinguishes the later rules with respect to administration of corpulence in ADHD children. A rundown of substantive intercession is recognized in the careful investigation zone that accommodated the concurred foundation. The information on the distinguished intercession is gathered through work area ground research and meetings of the stakeholders in the industry. The intercession dada from both meetings and work area based data and a snowballing procedure are utilized to populate the mediation system that backings the dissection and guaranteed the consistency of data gathered in the careful investigation.The findings of the study incorporate the danger variable of ADHD for both heftiness and stoutness practice of medicine disappointment. The study found that obliviousness, reward affectability and impulsivity are characteristics of ADHD that help of indulging consuming pathology, poor adherence to structures endeavors to get more fit and expanded powerlessness to obesogenic situations. Clinical intercessions are offered where the clinician is relied upon to note that the experience above normal trouble in association, observing toward oneself, arranging, and individuals with ADHD is higher. This makes the individuals endure poor observing in the preventive of sustenance allurements and consistency.The normal, or common, case (above) is regularly not the wealthiest in data. In illuminating lines of account and connection it is more functional to select issues that offer an intriguing, peculiar or especially uncovering set of circumstances(Johansson, 2003). A case determination that is dependent upon representativeness will sometimes have the ability to transform these sorts of experiences. The point when selecting a suit for a research endeavor, specialists will subsequently utilize data arranged testing, instead of arbitrary examining. Outlier cases,which are amazing, degenerate or atypical, uncover more data than the conceivably illustrative case(Gruber and Wallace, 1 999115). Then again, a case may be chosen as a key case, picked due to the characteristic investment of the case or the circumstances encompassing it. Then again it may be picked as a result of scientists in-profundity nearby information where analysts have this neighborhood learning one are in a position to douse and jab, and along these lines to offer contemplated lines of demonstration dependent upon this rich information of backdrop and circumstances (Stake, 19788).Whatever the casing of reference for the finale of the subject of the careful investigation (key, outlier, nearby learning), there is a qualification to be made between the subjestorical solidarity through which the hypothetical center of the study is continuously seen. The item is that hypothetical center the logical casing (Stake, 19788). Past choices about case choice and the subject and object of the study, choices requirement areto be made about reason, approach and process in the detailed analysis(Young, 193 9). It is therefore proposes a typology for the careful investigation wherein reasons for existing are initially recognized (evaluative or exploratory), then methodologies are outlined (hypothesis testing, hypothesis building or illustrative), then methods are settled on, with a vital decision being between if the study is to be single or numerous, and decisions additionally about if the study is to be review, depiction or diachronic, and if it is settled, parallel or consecutive. It is thence conceivable to take numerous courses through this typology, with, for instance, an exploratory, hypothesis building, different, settled study, or an evaluative, hypothesis testing, single, review study. The typology hence offers numerous stages for research endeavor structure(Yin, 1994290). A virtually related study in drug is the situation report, which distinguishes a particular case as treated or inspected by the creators as exhibited in a novel structure. These are, to a differentiable d egree, like the careful investigation in that numerous hold audits of the important written works of the subject talked about in the intensive examination of a cluster of cases distributed to fit the rule of the report being exhibited(Yin, 1989). These case reports could be considered satchel studies with a central exchange of the new, introduced case at heart reach that introduces a novel investment.BibliographyBennett, A. and Elman, C. 2006.

British Imperial Regulations D :: essays research papers

British imperial regulations with the American colonies were closely tied in with the system of mercantilism. Mercantilism controls the relations between the leading power and the colonies under its empire. A nation would want to export more than it imports gaining more money to flummox economic stability. The colonies exist for the profit of the mother country. Trade was a vital part of the economy of both England and the British colonies. The colonies would provide a majority of bleak materials that would be shipped to England where then they would process raw materials into goods and sell them at markets provided by the colonies. Within this system both England and the colonies depended on each other for commerce. To further visit this system on their oversees empire England enacted the Navigation Laws. In 1650 the first of these laws was aimed at keeping trade between the colonies limited only to their mother country, England. The law limit trade of such shippers as the Dutc h, by stating all goods must be transported on English vessels to or from the colonies. This helped keep money within British control, further also increased both England&8217s and the colonies&8217 merchant marine. Further laws were passed, but none that imposed strict regulations on the colonies. In fact the colonies received advantages from the mercenary system of England. As colonies of England they had the rights of Englishmen. They also had somewhat opportunities of self-government. As compared economically to the average Englishmen of the time, the average American colonist was more often better off. In some markets, such as tobacco, the colonies had grand advantages. Although not allowed to trade tobacco with any other country they were guaranteed a monopoly on the English market. One of the major advantages of British imperialism was the protection supplied by the British army. With the strong soldiers providing defense against natives and other inter colonial disputes a nd the mighty British navy protecting their commerce on the seas the colonies benefited from great advantages provided by their oversees &8220rulers.Although the colonists prospered from the British imperialism, they also however, dealt with many disadvantages from the British. In 1733 the British Parliament, feeling tension from the planters in the British West Indies, enacted the Molasses Act. The planters were competing against the French West Indies for trade with the nitrogen American colonies and considering the colonies were a part of the British empire, as were the British West Indies, the colonies trade was restricted from trading with the French West Indies.

Miles Franklins My Brilliant Career Essay -- Franklin My Brilliant Ca

Miles Franklins My Brilliant Career Topic Give a detailed analysis of a key scene or passage from My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin. The focus and essence of My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin is centred on the relationships and interactions of Sybylla Melvyn (the key character of the novel), towards other characters. The ways in which she reacts to different people and why she reacts in a particular manner, are perhaps more crucial and intriguing to the reader, than any distinct event end-to-end the novel. Sybyllas logic and thinking about herself, others and life, have been moulded by her very influential relationships with her mother and father. Her view on life and the roles of men and women has also been exercised by writings she has read. Moreover, her affinity with her parents in childhood and as a young woman has plainly made its mark on her further relationships, especially with men. The most enceinte male relationship Sybylla encounters is with her lover, Harold Beecham. Sybyllas relationship with Harold as described in Chapter 20 illustrates the influences of her parents and literature. In Chapter 20, Sybylla hits Harold across the face with a riding whip, when he tries to kiss her. further Harold Beecham appears to be the perfect figure and the perfect man and indeed, Sybylla loves him, although she does not like to admit this. For example, her train of thought was interrupted by our host, who appeared in the doorway, clad from furbish up to neck in white (Franklin 137). He is her knight in shining amour, but even so she strikes him. To Sybylla, Harold always appears somewhat forbidden. Perhaps subconsciously, he is the materialised anatomy of her father, Richard Melvyn. In her e... ...y saying Is this not rather sudden? You have given me no intimation of your intentions (Franklin 140). Perhaps still disturbed by his manner, this is partly the rationality why she hits Harold afterwards. Sybylla Melvyn is simply a confused adolescent, with all the problems and feelings of a young woman growing up. She has a large amount of emotional turmoil in her mind and is doing what she can to adjust to her ever changing environment. Sybylla is paranoid and neurotic and her values, beliefs and ideals have been easily influenced by her childhood relationship with her parents. As a consequence, her actions excogitate these influences, which are deeply etched in her mind. By examining her relationship with Harold Beecham we are able to understand that her attitude towards his affections are a result of both her parents influence and her reading material.

Computer Software Should be Free :: Internet Essays Papers

Computer Software Should be Free Free is a intelligence agency that everyone in the world loves to hear, whether you are in the United States or Bangladesh. Usu bothy when something is advertised as free on that point is some sort of a catch. Whether there are hidden shipping and handling fees or hidden commitments, something almost always gets you. The word free is not a word that is normally associated with reckoners and computer software, until now. If you know the right places to look on the Internet, whether legal or illegal, a person give the bounce find the software they are looking for. Considering that many things mess want for their computer tend to be expensive this a great option for them. Organizations are trying to crack down on people acquiring things for free, but the Internet is too vast to regulate all of the sites that allow free usage of things normally paid for. Napster is a good example of a site that got shut down for allowing users to download music for free. Many views can be taken on whether or not this should be regulated. In this wallpaper I will be discussing whether or not all things on the computer should be free.Software applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office can be expensive. So instead of buying them people go to websites and download them for free. This is a growing practice among many people in all countries. So it raises the question should all software be free. Many people argue that it should be free because everyone gets it for free anyway. Organizations like CAAST 1 and FAST 2 try to regulate the upshot of thefts in there countries. In Canada it has seemed to work over time, as numbers of thefts have dropped for the first time in four years. FAST reports that 26% of all software being used is illegal. These organizations can only hope to limit the number of illegal software downloads in their respective countries, which really is quite minuscular in the overall pict ure of software piracy.Music on the Internet is another big issue among consumers and the artists that compose them. Napster was the biggest site for downloading mp3s, but was shutdown because of a big push by the rock group Metallica.

Computer Changes and their Impact on Management :: essays research papers

Computer Changes and their Impact on oversightThe world of calculating machines is a field that is not only genuinely young, but is also rapidly changing. In one lifetime, computers have evolved from a multimillion dollar bill unit that filled entire buildings, to a few hundred dollar personal computer that fits on a desktop with more power than its predecessor. How does this change in cost, size and power affect our management decisions? To look at these areas, it should be understood that each characteristic not only makes a signifi pott impact for management, but is enhanced by the other two changes.The lessening in computer costs over time has the obvious implications of reduced overhead costs for a companys management and possibly a smaller budget wantment for the information technologies department. Closer inspection of the lower computer costs shows that the reduced overhead can have a calculate of implications dependant on management decisions. One decision would be t o show an increased profit on the end products margins. This makes stockholders very happy. Management could also dissolve to provide more computer technology for the company without an increase in budget, or provide hardware with less compromise in functionality. The additional money could be used for additional specialty computer hardware that would not normally be purchased. A company would have to enquiry whether the increase in computer technology would be able to provide the necessary competitive advantages or productivity increases. Management might also decide to take an exhaustive look at the entire company and its business process to determine if other areas might use the money for upgrades as well. These upgrades can be in the manufacturing process, research and development, sales, or in manufacturing to name a few.The reduction in cost also impacts the reduction in size of the computer hardware which has been getting smaller and smaller. As the prices of computers have gone down, the manufacturers have been able to reduce the size of the computers dramatically at the same time. Management originally provided a computer that was very large with terminals provided to the user as an interface. Today we have a personal computer on almost every desk top. These units require less space allowing management the freedom to determine whether they wish to put a unit on every desktop. With the smaller space requirements and the changes in the hardware itself, management also has less impact to their facility requirements.

John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury :: essays papers

John Steinbecks novel, The Grapes of Wrath, and William Faulkners novel, The Sound and the Fury Throughout history, many devastating economic, social, and environmental changes progress to occurred causing people to rise and overcome immense odds. In the 1930s, The Great Depression and the Dustbowl Disaster, a drought with horrific dust storms turning once-fertile agricultural conveys of mid-America into virtual(prenominal) wastelands, forced thousands of destitute farmers to pack their families and belongings into their cars in search of agricultural work in central California. Years of degradation stemming from the end of slavery origination at the conclusion of the Civil War destructed the old southern aristocratic families. These different external influences impact on the characters is seen in John Steinbecks novel, The Grapes of Wrath, and William Faulkners novel, The Sound and the Fury. Steinbeck illustrates and advocates drastic external changes in the economy and life style of the downtrodden migrants, as he follows the Joad family from Oklahoma to California. Faulkner depicts the decline of the aristocratic south through the look of the Compson children. The external changes, The Great Depression and the Dustbowl, affected the Joads economically and emotionally. By economic standards the Joads were poor before the Dust Bowl. However, they believed they had economic value and importance by on the job(p) their own 40 acres of land. Grampa took up the land, and he had to kill the Indians and drive them away. And Pa was born here Then a bad year came and he had to borrow a little money. An we was born here. And Pa had to borrow money. The bank owned the land then, but we stayed and we got a little bit of what we raised(Steinbeck 45). Losing the farm, universe forced to leave their home in a search of work, meant the loss of their social values. To the Joads, value and life importance rest in working the land and this ideology of th e past made their emotional adjustment to being a wondering, an Okie, even more difficult. The moving, questing people were migrants now. Those families which had lived on a little piece of land, who had lived and died on forty acres, had now the whole West to rove in. And they scampered about, looking for work and the highways were streams of people, and the ditch banks were lines of people.
