though Hector lost the fight, the war still raged
on, even less merciful than before. These two

Ma Joad I have decided to describe Ma Joad as a
character from the book The Grapes of Wrath. This
book was written during the period of drastic
changes in American modern history. Steinbeck, who
was the author of the book, did not try to make

workers were struggling for the existence in order

that time for not allowing it to happen again in
