The Jods may not have been the most fortunate family but what they did have they was grateful for what they did have and they appreciated everything. Even though they didn't want to live in the conditions they still managed to be grateful. Although the Jods didn't have much money they had gratitude and managed to stay happy at hard times. Although the Jods didn't have much they were a happy family. They also was a big family they didn't have much but they still managed to live there life just like everyone else. They lived on a farm and they didn't have much. Someone came around and told them they was bulldozing houses down and there's was one of them. The house they had been working on for years building it up. They lived in a shack type house with about 7-8 people in the house at one time.

Maw was deathly sick before they went on the road she died before they got on the road good. Paw was sad and very upset that he had to leave his farm. Later on down the road he began to get sick and eventually he died also. A boy tags along with them there cousin who just got out of prison for killing a man so he has a federal charge on his record. Some outbreaks happen and they start watching him closely.

They were heading south for work because they weren't making enough where they were. 5 cents for every basket of fruit they brought in, that isn't enough to live off of. They made it to this camp were you could stay there for free because it was government founded. The jods took that to there own advantage the were a help  around the park. Things started getting suspicious when they found out about the boy being with them just got out of prison and is a stranger came into my town and they just got out of prison I would be on the look out too.

They police came looking for him and they tried to attack him but they they cop got shot but the man that just got out of prison and then the man realized that he had been shot too. So he rushes back to his camp there staying at. He tells him mom what he has done and then shows her where he was shot at. She begans to help him in any way possible. She tries to keep him alive and the while everyone else in on the look out to make sure no one walks in on him with a gun shot because if they find out they had been looking for him. He had to hide in the back of the truck when they left to go places.

This is teaching us about family morals and to show us they were supposed to be there for 
family and never leave there side through the good times and the bad times. Also its 
showing us how mothers should care for there children and be there for them no matter what I know my mom would do the same thing to protect me from danger just like she was going for her son.
