Traveling without a care
Finally, they made it there
But California so it seemed
Wasn't really like they dreamed
Thoughts: Actually, the Joads had several problems on their way to California. Most notably, Grampa and Granma die. That's right, I omitted major plot points so that I could score an easy rhyme. Also, I did it for the children. Since the assignment was to turn The Grapes of Wrath into a children's book, I totally sugarcoated things. Children shouldn't have to learn about death until I run their puppies over with my car. And if you're wondering, the picture is a migrant worker camp in California.
