The condition of this place was awful; there was trash everywhere tents set up foe the people staying there. Everyone living there were Okies that were looking for jobs because they needed to feed their family. In the film you see all the kids of the cam gather around the Joad family’s camp and ask them for food. These kids were slowly starving to death and were looking for anything they could eat. Luckly Ma Joad was nice enough to give them the food she mad, even though it wasn’t enough food. Another location they talked about was the government ran camps. This place was really nice and well constructed. In this location the camp governed itself. There was committee’s set up for different things. The only thing the people had to do to live there was to clean up the campsite once a week for 2 hours or just pull their weight around camp. There was one committee for Ma where she would help take care of the kids. She would cook clean and sow clothing together. This was discussed in the book also. This committee was call the Good Neighbor Committee and the task Ma Joad had to do were the same describes in the book. The good Neighbor Committee was in charge of greeting the new people, explaining the rules of the camp, taking care of the children and people of the camp. This was a great place for the Okies to stay at, since it catered to their need and didn’t cost them money just more
