The Grapes of Wrath

At the start of the pages the Joads are at the camp where they are getting 5 cents for picking peaches. After Tom gets in the fight after Casy dies he has to hide out in there house and stay away from others. Then because Casy is gone the lowered the price to 2 and a half cents. So the Joads save money for gas and leave as soon as possible. They have to drop Tom off on the way to another job where they can pick cotton. This is a much better job but they are living in a boxcar and have to separate themselves from the Wainwright’s by their tarp. But they get a stove and money to buy a good amount of food to eat and are still able to save some. Then Ruthie accidentally tells of Tom hiding after she got into a fight and Ma has to tell Tom to leave and get far away incase others are looking for him. They get another job before the rain comes and for some reason Rose of Sharon feels like she should go with them and help. I can see why she wants to. She probably feels as if she isn’t doing anything but sitting around and making food because of the baby. But she still shouldn’t go out for her health. She ends up getting a cold and getting sick. Then Al falls for Aggie Wainwright and they are going to get married and Al tells her he is going to get them out of there. I think that is cute. But I’m wondering if he really feels that way about her or if it’s because she’s the only girl he’s around. Then Rose of Sharon has her baby and it is stillborn. That was so sad because during the whole story she is pregnant and she goes through all of this carrying a baby in her stomach and Connie leaves and know she doesn’t have a baby in the end and when things are able to get better. The end doesn’t talk that much about Tom. I pretty much thought he was the main person in the story, it did start out with him. Then they just don’t talk about him anymore or about what happened to him. The ending was not my favorite.
