"They’s change a-comin’. I don’ know what. Maybe we won’t live to see her. But she’s a-comin’. They’s a res’less feelin’. Fella can’t figger nothin’ out, he’s so nervous."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 24. After a riot almost breaks out at Weedpatch, a nervous Pa Joad makes these comments about there being a restless feeling and that changes are on the way. This is foreshadowing of a workers’ revolt and strike in Chapter 26 and the death of labor activist Jim Casy.
