Rose of Sharon Rivers
Quote 1
[Rose of Sharon:] "Maybe right at first while Connie's studyin' at home it won't be so easy, but – well, when the baby comes, maybe he'll be all done studyin' an' we'll have a place, little bit of a place." (16.11)
Rose of Sharon is concerned with the appearance of what she hopes her life will be in California. Did the yellow pamphlets promise houses and money enough to go to the movies? If they did not promise all of these things, were the Joads and other families really so deceived? Perhaps these families deceived themselves.
