memory+connection.

Memories are a huge part of any human being; they are our past and they help shape our future. The picture of the thought bubble was a simple and easy choice because I thought it was a good physical manifestation of memory. I picked the quote from __The Grapes of Wrath__ because the passage with Ma and her box of memories fit so perfectly. And then I decided to add the quote from __The Things They Carried__ because it is one of my favorite quotes in general, and it also fit easily with the fact that you can't forget, just as Ma can't and won't forget.

The song/video is by an American musician named Johnny Thunders. The chorus and title of the song are the same, "You Can't Put Your Arms 'Round A Memory" and i feel like nothing describes Ma's feelings better after having to choose which memories to take with her.
