Family x Unity
When the Joad family embarked on their journey to California for a better life, they have to face many struggles due to their horrible-conditioned car and lack of supplies. On the road, some people who were on the car such as Grampa and Granma are getting sicker everyday and they were also too weak to continue on with the entire group. The entire group continues on their journey which they constantly have to make sacrifices such as their possession in order to be able to afford the necessities to survive. Ma Joad is the one who is very worried about her family's well-being.
“What we got lef’ in the world? Nothin’ but us. Nothing but folks. We come out an Grandpa, he reached for the shovel-shelf right off. An’ you wanna bust up the folks”
This quote shows Ma Joad's concern about her family when everyone started to separate and find their own way to survive. Ma Joad feels like she does not have anything left except her family. The family has lost a lt during the journey and they keep on losing more. This makes them realizes how important each member in the family is and how it is significant for the family to stay together to overcome the challenges and make a stronger family. Ma feels that with everything they lost, there family should not have another loss. They have has a huge loss when they have to leave the land where they were born and worked in and their memories. Their family is the only thing that they have left and the only thing that they will have in California where they restart their lives in a whole new place.
