Tom Joad Jr.
"...But sometimes a guy'll be a good guy even if some rich bastard makes him carry a sticker."
This made me think about who Tom Joad really is. He seemed like he could manipulate the truck driver really easily, and it showed he is goo at taking advantage of people.
"Homicide,' he said quickly. 'That's a big word--means I killed a guy. Seven years. I'm sprung in four for keepin' my nose clean."
He killed a guy. But he said it as though It wasnt a big deal, and that he is really a nice guy, because he had good behavior in jail.
"An old turtle,' he said. 'Picked it up on the road. An old bulldozer. Thought I'd take it to my little brother. Kids like turtles."
It made me wonder. Why is he taking a turtle to his brother?
"It ain't the same,' he said. 'Looka that house. Somepin's happened. They ain't nobody there."
Took him by surprise. No ones at his house. Now he has to find work elsewhere.
