Memorable Scene
In chapter 20 in The Grapes of Wrath, a group of children surround Ma while she makes stew for the family. The children crowd around Ma's stew because they have not eaten breakfast and are very hungry. Although her family does not have enough stew to eat, Ma decides to let the children have what is left of the pot after she dishes out portions. This scene reemphasizes the underlying theme of the book that the author presents in many ways. Through this scene, the author poignantly shows how humans help one another because they are of the same spirit.

This is a very good scene to relate. It is nice that you pointed out how the scene reflects on the underlying cause of the whole book with the human spirit. The picture helps to visualize nicely as well.
