Philosophy
At the beginning of the book Pa Joad is thought to be the leader like all the men are in their families, because in those times they lived in a male Chauvinistic society, were women were left aside and could not participate in important things or events. But later in the book it is shown when Ma Joad is the real leader of the family because she is the one that decides that Casy may come along with them. Pa Joad notices when Ma assume this role, he does not like it, but he says nothing because its the best for the family.

A person doesn't have to be a "philosopher" to have an opinion on life. What does Pa Joad think about different issues? Do you think he's happy about Ma having the last word on the important decissions? Can you think of a passage in the book that might explain his feelings about it?
As you continue reading you have to pay attention to your character's attitude toward life.
