The Grapes of Wrath #5

There is many different types of people in the novel The Grapes of Wrath. Most of the people are on their way to California because they can not afford to farm their land. They can not farm their land because they can not afford the tractors to plow and the bank does not want to wait for the crops and they want a lot of crop. The families travel out west in search for work. They see a flier that says there is work out west, they trust it, so they pack up their family and sell their belongings. The novel is mostly about the Joad family. The Joad family is traveling with thirteen people and they need a lot of food to fed all of the family. The families on the journey all help eachother out. They all understand what every other family is going through the same hardships. They offer food to the other families when it is avaible and they help the families. When the Granpa was dying, another family, the Wilson's offered the Joad's their tent for the old man to go in while he was having a storke. The families are all nice and helpful to eachother. The Joads are from Okalohoma and some of the families think that the "Okies" are rude and selfish people. These types of people ignored the Joads or they critized them.
The camps that the traverlers stayed in were made by themselves. Most of the times they just stopped on the side of the road and pitched their tents. The Joad's tent was made from a tarp. They also had beds that they brought and they slept on. There was one camp that the family heard aabout. It was a government camp in California. The camp did not allow cops to come in, they had running, hot water, they had commities to keep the camp in order, and they had dances every Saturday night. This was the Joad's favorite camp they were able to work for their rent. They soon ran out of money for food because there was no work around the area and they had to leave. They people on the journey all depended upon eachother and the camps were somewhere that the Joads could feel a little safe while on the road.
