Bringing it Back

Towards the end of the book in chapter 30, Rose of Sharon decides to suckle a dying man, who's obviously more unfortunate than her, with the milk inside her breast. Then I realized, back in Chapter 26
"I'm learn' one thing good... If you're in trouble or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones."
Ma's quote tied back to this very moment (Well, in my opinion it did). Just thought I should let you guys know.

  1. I didn't even catch that. That is a great observation. I think it's a very interesting way Steinbeck chose to end the book with this image of Rose of Sharon.
