3. Look at Chapter 26
- In what way have Ma and Pa switched roles? Use text to support ideas.
- How have Winfield and Ruthie developed as characters? How do they experience life in a way that differs from the rest of the family? What role do they serve in the novel thus far?
- "A fella got to eat," he began; and then, belligerently, "A fella got a right to eat," (375). What's the difference between a right and a privilege? How is this difference articulated in the novel? In our world today?
- p. 386: Why does Tom act? In what way does this signify a change in his character? Or, maybe nothing has changed?
- p. 388: Contrast Ma in the morning with violence of prior scene
- Top p. 393: In what way does this passage exemplify the struggle of all migrant workers? In what way does this passage reveal the value of family (fambly)?
- What are your thoughts on the family at the end of Chapter 26?
