Question: If you have read "Grapes of Wrath" !?
How does the story end, and how does casy die!? I don't remember and I have a test tomorrow! Please Help!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Casy is killed when he and Tom go to try to talk to other workers about the owners using them as scabs against workers who had tried to strike the orchard!. They try to talk about unionizing and a man gets angry and kills Casy which enrages Tom so he kills the man!. That's when he has to leave the family!.

The story ends in the Joads being flooded out of their boxcar home soon after Rose of Sharon's baby is stillborn!. They find shelter in a barn, which is already occupied by an old man who is starving to death!. The only food they have is Rose of Sharon's breastmilk and in her sorrow she feeds the man, giving life, though not to the one for which she waited so long!.

To your previous answerer:
