Quote #10
Watching Papa bounce and weave and shout in front of me, I was almost ready to laugh with him, with the first bubbly sense of liberation his defiant craziness had brought along with it…. Papa tooted the horn and yelled out, "No bus for us! No bus for us!" (3.1.52-53)
Papa decides to take the reins on his freedom and drive the family back to Los Angeles instead of waiting around for their scheduled day to leave. Think of his new car as his way of coming around to the American Dream again—the administration isn't in control anymore; Papa is.
