pa joad

Front 17

Stomach and hips were lean, and legs, short, heavy, and strong. His face, squared by a bristling pepper and salt beard, was all drawn down to the forceful chin, a chin thrust out and built out by the stubble beard which was not so grayed on the chin, and gave weight and force to its thrust. His eyes were brown, black-coffee brown, and he thrust his head forward when he looked at a thing, for his bright dark eyes were failing. His lips, from which the big nails protruded, were thin and red.

Back 17

Pa Joad

Front 18

She was heavy, but not fat; thick with childbearing and work. She wore a loose Mother Hubbard of gray cloth in which there had once been colored flowers, but the color was washed now. The dress came down to her ankles, and her strong, broad, bare feel moved quickly and deftly over the floor.

Back 18

Ma Joad

Back 19

Ma Joad

Front 20

Her full face was not soft; it was controlled, kindly. Her hazel eyes seemed to have experienced all possible tragedy and to have mounted pain and suffering like steps into a high calm and a superhuman understanding. She seemed to know, to accept, to welcome her position, the citadel of the family, the strong place that could not be taken.

Back 20

Ma Joad

Front 21

Great and humble position in the family she had taken dignity and a clean calm beauty. From her position as healer, her hands had grown sure and cool and quiet; from her position as arbiter, she had become as remote and faultless in judgment as a goddess.

Back 21

Ma Joad

A lean, ragged quick old man, jumping with quick steps and favoring his right leg--the side that came out of joint. His old hands were having trouble finding the buttons.

His lean white chest, fuzzed with white hair was visible through the opening in his underwear.

Back 22

Grampa Joad

Front 23

His was a lean excitable face with little bright eyes as evil as a frantic child's eyes. A cantankerous, complaining, mischievous, laughing face. He fought and argued, told dirty stories. He was as lecherous as always. Vicious and cruel and impatient, like a frantic child, and the whole structure overlaid with amusement. He drank too much when he could get it, ate too much when it was there, talked to much all the time.

Back 23

Grampa Joad

Front 24

She had survived only because she was as mean as her husband. She had held her own with a shrill ferocious religiosity that was as lecherous and as savage as anything Grampa could offer.

Back 24

Granma Joad

Front 25

the first born, tall and strange, walking always with a wondering look on his face, calm and pussled. He had never been angry in his life. He looked in wonder at angry people, wonder and uneasiness, as normal people look at the insane. He moved slowly, spoke seldom, and then so slowly that people who did not know him often thought him stupid. He was not stupid, but he was strange.

Back 25

Noah Joad

Front 26

He had little pride, no sexual urges. He worked and slept in a curious rhythm that nevertheless sufficed him. He was fond of his folks, but never showed it in any way. He left the impression of being misshapen, his head or his body or his legs or his mind. He was a stranger to all of the world, but he was not lonely.

Back 26

Noah Joad

Front 27

Cocky. Boasting face, Admiration and Veneration shone in his eyes. His stiff jeans, with the bottoms turned up eight inches to show his heeled boots, his three-inch belt with copper figures on it, even the red arm bands on his blue shirt and the rakish angle of his Stetson had could not build him up to his brother's stature

Front 31

Pregnant, and careful. Her hair, braided and wrapped around her head, made an ash-blond crown. Her round soft face, which had been voluptuous and inviting a few months ago, had already put on the barrier of pregnancy, the self-sufficient smile, the knowing perfection-look; and her plump body-- full soft breasts and stomach, hard hips and buttocks that had swing so freely and provocatively as to invite slapping and stroking--her whole body had become demure and serious. Her whole thought and action were directed inward on the baby. The world was pregnant to her

Back 31
