The Joads come across a government run camp. The migrants govern themselves and aren't harassed by police officers. They have breakfast with two nice people named Tim and Wilkie Wallace. They take Tom to a ranch where they think they can get him a job. The owner, Mr. Thomas, is require to pay them no more than twenty-five cents an hour. He says he knows that they deserve more but it would only cause unrest. The rest of the Joad men go job hunting during the days. Ma meets the camp manager who is extremely nice to her and makes her fell human again. Mrs. Sandry, a religious fanatic, tells Rose to avoid dancing and sinning or her baby will be born bloody and dead. Tom is hired but none of the other men get jobs unfortunately.This book has been very descriptive, and I respect that. However, the descriptions can get too lengthy and I'm starting to lose interest. If the book would pick up the speed I think I would enjoy it much more.
