What happened at the end of the story grapes of wrath

English

What happened wasBy the last chapter, the Joad family are trying to find a way to build up the embankment to keep the train cars from flooding. All the men help once they realize Rose of Sharon has gone into labor and will give birth. Rose of Sharon is in agony all night as she tries to have her baby. But just as the baby comes, a tree falls due to the storm, breaks the embankment, and allows water to rush in.

The water destroys any possibility of the cars being able to drive and is also threatening the safety of everyone living in the train cars. Things go from bad to worse when they realize that Rose of Sharon's baby is stillborn. Their hard lives and lack of food had not allowed the baby to live. They put the baby in a cardboard box and send it down the river, unwilling to bury it, and then travel on from the flooding area.

The rain continues to pour, which drives them into a barn to take shelter. The Joads see that they are sharing the barn with a sickly man and his young son. The son explains that his father is dying of starvation. The food he had tried to feed his father was too much, so he needed something milder to give him, like milk. It's here that Ma Joad looks at Rose of Sharon, and they seem to come to an unspoken agreement. Ma shoves the rest of the family out of the barn, and Rose of Sharon lays next to the old man and breastfeeds him. The very last sentence states she had a 'mysterious smile.'

Hope this helps!

Why does Juan censor his own letter "without regret"? How is his final action as a censor an example of irony, or a seeming cont
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer and Explanation:

1. He censors his own letter because he has been immensely involved in the censor's work, going so far as to override his own wishes, so that the government's wishes are fulfilled.

2. This is an example of irony and contradiction, because Juan decided to accept the job as a censor, to prevent the letters he sends from being censored, but he ends up doing exactly the opposite.

3. This reinforces the idea that the political situation in Argentina was very oppressive and authoritarian, going so far as to change the thinking of citizens who, instead of fighting it, were completely manipulated, to the point of helping.

Native plants are kept in check by the surrounding community of plants and animals, so the native plants _____ become invasive.
Lorico [155]
We need to complete the sentence by filling up the blank space and we are given with two choices, either we choose "won't" or "wo'nt". This problem is a matter of English knowledge and we know that there is no such word as wo'nt so we will not choose this. Therefore, the correct answer is the option "won't" which can be also written as will not, it just the same won't and will not. To complete the sentence, we have it below:
Native plants are kept in check by surrounding community of plants and animals, so the native plants won't be invasive.
