Group Blog: The Wilson's and Noah's Departure

One of the Joad family's driving strengths has been their unity and ability to work as a cohesive unit against the adversity they face on their journey. When the Wilsons are forced to stay behind and Noah runs off to live by himself the family takes a very serious blow.

The character most effected by the loss of the Wilsons and Noah is Ma Joad. She works as an anchor for the entire family and struggles to keep the family together. The loss of three more members of the original party is hard for her and she stresses about the family "falling apart."
