the factory, and we were all frightened. We saw soldiers, rallying the workers. The soldiers came to us, and they talked to mom. When mom told them that she was the owner of the factory, they arrested her. The soldiers realized that we were mom’s children, so we were also arrested. I recall how scared I was during the arrest, yet I tried to remain brave. The soldiers did not hesitate; they took us to a train station. Everything happened so fast. One second I was with my family, the other I was on

farmers become “the only ones that’ll help” in times of “trouble or hurt or need.” Because of shared circumstances, the Joad family also begins providing aid to those in need. For instance, at Hooverville camp, Ma serves leftover stew to starving children nearby. Later, Rose of Sharon allows a starving man to drink from her breast.

A train is a cold metal machine, similar to the nature of this speaker. Erdrich could have chosen to say that fate brought the two children, to add a mystifying element, but instead chooses to indicate that this is a cold and unwelcoming reality.
