Granma and Granpa Joad Mood Board Analysis

Granma and Granpa represent the old way of life in Oklahoma. They were the original farmers of the land and the ones who started the family farm, which they still live on. For this reason we chose images of horses harnessed to plows. In addition we picked images of an old farmhouse, a workbench, and a tree to show their connection to the land through the work that they do. Granpa is first described as being a feisty, angry old man that drinks too much when we can get it and for this reason we included an image of old bottles of alcohol. Grandma is said to be very religious, and once shot off her husbands buttcheeks after a sermon with a shotgun, as she was so fired up. The image of the Bible and gun barrel is representative of this part of her personality. The images of the old farmer man and women in the house is how we picture them in the Joad household and the roles that they once played in the farm.

“Granma and Grampa raced each other to get across the broad yard. They fought over everything, and loved and needed the fighting.”
