Ma Joad Character analysis: Her Determination as a Mother

Ma Joad's personality is admirable in my point of view, as a crucial member of the Joad family she is always seeking for everyone's well being and taking care of all of the members of her family. Everything that goes on around the house usually depends directly or indirectly on Ma. I believe she is the most important member of the family, and the one who holds everyone together. Her being the member of the Joads, who can never be missing when decisions are being taken, the one who promotes values into the family and reminds them all never to steal no matter how tempting the situation may get, always give the best of yourself and be generous with others etc. Ma also has a very important quality, because she always has hope and faith that things will get better, but is as-well down to earth to their current situation. Ma Joad is the trunk that holds the family together in my point of view.
