(Above: Picture from the film, "Grapes of Wrath" based on the book)Casy and Tom soon find another friend, Muley. He explains how a large company bought all the land and kicked the tenant farmers out. Muley is picking cotton to save up for a car to move to California. Next, a car's salesman is on the radio talking about moving to the West.
The three men make their way to Tom's Uncle John's house. Tom reunited with his family, they are afraid he's broken out or gone crazy. Tom assures them he has done neither. Tom has four siblings, but the only one around is Al. Al admires Tom very much.
Chapter 9 explains how the tenants work and how the farmers were kicked out.
I'm starting to a pattern that every other chapter is either narration or random descriptions of the history or the setting.
