When they arrive at Weedpatch (the government camp), Ma becomes sad and Pa notices it. She explains to him how on the road she had no time to think, to analyze. She became one with the movement; but now that she was here and the people had been nice to her and she had been nice to them, she started thinking again. She went over Grandpa and Granma’s death, Noah’s separation, and Connie; she went over all the things she could not explain and brought sorrow in her. She gave herself a space to be human again and let her emotions carry her through tragedy. (Steinbeck, pg. 323)
