It is clear that Ma Joad’s priorities lay on her family; but the example with the children at Hooverville shows how her love, help and understanding, overcome these limits. As starving children surround her, she feels compassion for them. She dwells with egoism and her family’s basic necessities: as she finally gives in to the children. She leaves the rest of the soup for them. This passage demonstrates Ma’s constant selflessness and generous actions, not only for the well-being of her family, but for the entire people in need. (Steinbeck, pg. 257).
