Chapter 18- Ma Joad again
Ma Joad continues to fascinate me. I'm this chapter she threatens an armed police officer with a cooking pan, which was very daring on her part, but she does it out if dignity because he offended her and she simply reacted. Another admirable moment was how she knowingly slept with grandma; which was no longer breathing. She shows how strong she is, and what she's willing to do for the family. According to her, there was no reason for them to worry about grandma until it was necessary.

She would do anything for her family. They wouldn't have passed the agricultural inspection if the guards knew the Granma was dead. But it's sad to see that she didn't live long enough to settle down in California.
