Starting off from page 56 i kind of think Muley is a little creepy. He always talks about crazy things he has done or what his is thinking or what he wants to do. He sounds really weird and like he needs help. He should have just went with his wife when she went to California maybe he would be more sane.
Then chapter seven starts talking about selling cars and these people ripping everyone off when they would want to buy a car. This chapter was completely confusing especially how it jumped from a more normal chapter to talking about selling these cars and the customers that walked in it didn't make much sense.
Then chapter eight goes back to Joad and Casy making their way to Joad's uncles house to see his family. This chapter i liked. It talked about how his uncle had went a little crazy with other people after his wife died. I thought that the story of his wife dieing was really sad and it made me think of why he didn't listen when she wanted to go to the doctor. I realized that they didn't have money to be paying to doctor for visits that could very well be a stomachache. But him feeling guilty the rest of his life wouldn't be good for him. It was really funny how Joads dad was so excited to surprise his mom with him being home and all. I liked how everyone was so excited to see Joas. I wasn't sure if they would be or not from how in the begining nobody wrote to him and all. It was really funny how the grandparents were racing to the house to see Joad. I liked the grampa he was really funny and had a lot of good points like when he talked about how Joad shouldn't have been in jail because personally i don't think he should have either at least not for so long. It was an accident and plus the other guy pulled a knife on him first.
Chapter nine was another skipping chapter this time about their memories of random things like a plow or something else they had got. It was also about what they could take and what they couldn't take on their journey west.
Chapter ten was mostly about them finishing getting ready to leave and how they felt about it. I imagine it would be very scary to move to a bigger place with a lot of people and them not having much money i'm sure didn't make it much easier.

Yeah, I think Muley should've went with his wife too. I mean, what's more important, your loved ones or your pride? I think he did lose part of his mind living the way he did.
When the chapters skip around, I think sometimes the author is trying to flash back to when these things were happening to the family, just not directly stating it. Like the house getting ran into earlier; I think that was suppposed to be a flashback from a different point of view of what happened to the Joad family's house. I'm not sure though.
