Now that you have seen some movie clips, think about them and answer the following questions in your notes:
- How do the actions of Pa Joad and the boy on the tractor represent the problems of the small farmer during the Dust Bowl?
- Why would the invention of the tractor cause issues for farmers?
- Everyone who gets together in The Grapes of Wrath seems to bond together. Analyze the following quote from Ma Joad:
"If you're in trouble or hurt or need—go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help—the only ones."
Why would she believe that? Why would you agree or disagree with her?
