Final Reflections

2. At the end of the book the Joads future, in my opinion, still looks pretty grim and I have a feeling that their hardships have only just begun. In the end the family is out of a place to stay, their family is becoming more and more separated, and they still don't have work or a study income. The family  will be able to handle any challenge that is thrown their way because they have been able to handle everything that has happened so far. I just think that over time the challenges will become harder and harder to handle each time and eventually they are going to break. The Joads will do whatever they deem necessary to survive. They will go all over to find work so they can make money to eat and live off of. The family will never give up and they will try their hardest to survive and make a living of themselves.

3. We can all learn something from the Joad family. We all have to learn that survival is a fight and giving up isn't an option. You have to do whatever is necessary to survive and to make a living for you and your family. The country could also benefit from this lesson. No matter what they circumstances are you just have to roll with the punches and find a solution, no matter what sacrifices you may have to give up along the way. We would benefit from the Joad family because they never gave up and they fought for everything that they had and that they needed. They also stuck together for as long as they needed before they could all survive on their own.

  3. I agree that they will do what ever it takes to survive because thats what they have been doing for most of the book. I like that you said that the survival is a fight and giving up isn't an option. Even though we will never have to go through a tough situation like the Dust Bowl it is important to have the mentality to never quit.
