Character Analysis: Ma Joad and her role as a mother

Ma Joad, besides being a leader, she has an important mother role with her children. She helps them in times of crisis, always chooses what is best for them and always tries to find a positive thing in a negative situation suffered by herself or her children. One example is: when Rose of Sharon is sad because Connie left her Ma Joad encourages her to dance so that she can " get over" Connie, have a mother daughter relationship and have fun. This makes both Ma and Rose of Sharon have positive thoughts and forget about the problems they have.

Javier, be careful with your puctuation. Instead of what you wrote think of the following: One example is when Rose of Sharon is sad because Connie left her, Ma Joad encourages her to dance so that she can " get over" Connie; this is mother-daughter relationship at its best.
