ok well i have to write an essay on another thing the Joads could have done besides moving out to california.

so the questions are:

1. Did the Joads make the best decision that they could have made at the time after they lost their farm?

2. What other options could there have been for them?

3. What do you believe is their best option is and give reasons.

THANKS MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
It was the only choice. Look at the history of the era. The dust bowl was so large that cities 100's of miles away found huge deposits of dust after bad wind storms.

No food, no water, no chance of survival except moving somewhere else. Try planting seeds in dust - dust that will be sweped away by the winds in a few days.

The top soil was literally stripped away - gone.
