Chapter 10

The Joad family finally packs up everything they can to head to California. Choose one of the following characters and write a diary entry as if you were that character showing how they feel about leaving home. Be sure to use their tone, their diction, etc. Dig deep and use the context of Grapes of Wrath to include in your answer.

There are 12 characters to choose from and 28 AP students so only a few characters may be chosen by more than one student (be sure to see whom your classmates have already chosen before you write your own response):

Tom, Pa, Ma, Grandma, Grandpa, Al, Ruthie, Winfield, Rose of Sharon, Connie, Jim Casey, Uncle John, and Noah.
