=Introduction= The Joad family has just won a court case against California land owners who led them across the country under false pretenses. Yesterday, four more families approached your law firm and are looking for lawyers to represent them in their own case against California land owners. In order to defend them, you are to find passages and photos that support the family's suffering. Look for quotes within the alternate chapters as well as on the resource sites to create and defend a family. You will use Google Earth to mark locations where the family suffered or lost family members along the journey. Focus on the way this changed the dynamic of the family and the way the characters responded to one another.
