Jessy Yo's Memorable Moment

My memorable moment in The Grapes of Wrath is the very beggining when Tom convinces the truck driver to give him a ride. It is my favorite moment because it shows how he can persuade people, and it was kind of a comical scene once you think about it. It also shows the struggle between doing wrong and right. Once in the truck you can tell the man wants to ask all kinds of questions, but he holds back; instead tells about his plans on taking night classes and making alot more money. Tom finally tells what he did to be in jail when let off at his stop.
