The main reason that Jim Casy’s philosophy guides the novel is because of how the family gets into arguments and into situation that they need to get out of and they turn to each other. Jim Casy basically says that the philosophy is that people govern themselves, there is not higher power. When the family decides to go California they decide as a family, they don’t consult a higher power by praying, they stick together and help each other solve the different problems that they come across.
When the family was on their way to California, Tom kicks an officer to help a friend escape from going to jail. So Jim tasks the fall. This is shows how friends and family are willing to help each other in time of need.
