Answer:
We can infer that Zlateh was still a productive animal, capable of promoting Aaron's survival.
Explanation:
When reading the short story we can see that Zlateh was a very dear goat for the family that raised her, but due to Zlateh's financial difficulties and aging, the family decided to sell it to a butcher, because she believed she was no longer more as productive as before. Aaron, was the boy responsible for taking Zlateh to the city to be sold, but due to environmental conditions Aaron and Zlateh are trapped in a haystack.
Although Aaron had no food to survive while he was still worth it Zlateh ate the hay to produce milk and keep the boy alive, proving that he was still productive and useful to the family.

<span>Steinbeck uses parallelism in the Grapes of Wrath because he wanted to emphasize the fact that the people were not happy when the new migrant moves into their neighborhood. He also shows how the migrants form close bonds with each other due to their similar struggles and life experiences. Parallelism is the balance between two or more similar words or phrases. By using parallelism, the author improves his writing style and readability of his novel. Parallel construction also improves the reader's understanding of the story. </span>
