grapes of wrath part 5 Chapt.20-22
In chap. 20, the Joads do not have any money to pay for a proper burial, so they leave granmas body at a corner of the coroner’s office. But when the get back with the family, Floyd Knowles tells the Joads that their are no jobs available. The rules are harsh. I you discuss such possibilities, you will be marked red and and be dragged off by police. If you are put on the blacklist, you will not find any work. Harsh!!!!!! Tom and Kasy get into a fight with a deputy and Kasy will take the blame because Tom cannot get into trouble or he will be put back in jail. In Chap. 21, theres not much to really talk about. It says that California has Okies and that. Large farm owners drive little farm owners out of business and make people lose there job. Chap. 22. says when the Joads get to Weedpatch camp, they govern themselves. At the ranch, Mr. Thomas tells the men about Farmers Association, and how they should demand this and get this and start a riot. Well back at camp, the men go find work. When they get back, Tom found a job and Pa Joad and Uncle John did not.
