What is most likely Steinbeck’s overall reason for writing Travels With Charley?

Steinbeck travels across the country with Charley to observe people, places, and ways of life in different regions. His broad purpose is to give readers a picture of life throughout America, not just describe Western scenery or focus on the largest cities. The choice claiming he argues that New York City is better than rural America is too narrow and does not capture the book’s overall purpose.
