Exploration 8

I still see hardships for the Joad family. They are still in a very hard time period. Work is hard to find and the conditions around them are bad. But I do however see them handling the challenges as best as they can. They are a tough family, and have already been through a lot. But there strong spirits and hard work ethics are what has gotten them through everything. They will survive by just keep pushing through.Every time they were presented with a challenge they delt with the situation. As much as they could they didn't let there challenges stop them.

There are quite a few things we can learn about from the Joad family. One of them is the idea of working hard. They are not a lazy family, everything they accomplished was because  they were hard workers. They didn't let the harsh reality of their traveling stop them. Yes, at times they got a little discouraged, but who doesn't get discouraged sometimes. It was the fact that they eventually kept on going even though times were hard. This was what was commendable the most to me and what could be learned most from them. The men were constantly looking for work, and Ma Joad was constantly being the rock for the family; keeping them together as much as she could. Another big thing that they did as much as possible was they worked together. Even if they were doing separate tasks, all of their goals served as the same purpose. To start a good new life for the themselves. Even though it was a very hard tasks, they worked day by day at it.
