Chapter 18: Ma Joad
One of the chapters that I very much enjoyed was chapter 18 when the family arrived to California. The Joad men are once again informed that there is no employment in California yet they decide not to give up they keep on going. Even though they have been informed twice. Although Noah will no longer be part of there journey there family has to go on . In this chapter I also enjoyed Ma Joads behavior . When The police man entered there tent she was not scared she basically threatened the police man by saying if her men where there they would of hurt the man for his rude behavior and afterwards she told tom "I'd a took a sock at the cop" I love the way Ma Joad acts .

I agree with you that Ma's spunk exceeds dramatically in chapter 18. But in chapter 22, when they enter the government camp grounds, you can technically say she takes over family power by telling them 'what to do' and 'how to do it'. Other than that, Ma's attitude is just another thing to enjoy about this story!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, also we start seeing how Ma is the one taking over the family hierarchy.
