Quote 1
"Can't they work?" he asked me. "Look at all the pecan trees." [. . .] "Get them off their lazy butts, they can make enough for a dozen toothbrushes in one evening." "That money usually goes to helping the family, Dr. Joseph." (7.83-84)
This heartbreaking conversation between Dr. Joseph and Grant gives us a vision of the utter lack of communication happening between the government and the people it supposedly represents. Dr. Joseph's concept of what children should be doing, and Grant's knowledge of what they are doing, are completely at odds with one another.
