Chapter 15
I'm not really sure what to think about this chapter. All I can think about is how Mae puts on this fake face in front of most customers except the truckers who she is genuinely happy to see because that's where they get most of their business from. I also find her questioning manner towards the "Okies" kind of comical and depicts her as having an unselfish concern about the welfare of others. I personally almost squealed at how she saw this look on the two boys' faces and kind of melted and gave them nickel candies for a penny. What I was wondering though is what was with the truckers comment after the family left? They leave a total of a dollar and then say go to hell. I'm so confused from that someone help me understand please.

Oh gawd you too. They're truckers back in the old days. That's how they spoke. Jezuz
ReplyDeleteIt is because the truckers thought it was unfair for the Okies to pay less when the truckers have to pay more. Basically it's inequality. I believe it said in the story that the truckers left something a little extra for Mae to pay for the actual amount of the candy she gave the Okies for cheaper.
