From pg 336 it starts off talking about Tom getting work and how Ma wonders where he is working. Uncle John is sick but he thinks that because he sinned he has to work himself so that his sin is taken back. Then they meet a woman carrying an apple box who wonders if they’ll stay and she thinks that they are lucky for being able to find work, but the way she says it seems as if she almost doesn’t believe is it or she doesn’t think it’ll last. This lady is said to be a good woman but someone who makes others in the camp unhappy. Then Ma meets the ladies of a committee that work around for the comp. Ruthie and Winfield fight a lot and in times like these I’m sure it’s easy to fight because of the heat and the weakness makes people a little crazy or different but they really need to stick together. Pa and Al are driving around looking for work and they find a man who’s been walking around looking for work, so they pick him up and now they’re all looking for work together even though they have a strong feeling they wont find any. Rose of Sharon gets to work in a nursery. It’s good so she can learn how to take care of a baby since she’s having a baby.
Chapter 23 is about the migrant people who are looking for work and are living on barely anything, and doing whatever to survive while doing what they have to, even if it hurts others.
Chapter 24 is about when a fight happens and the chairman seems to act like the men who are supposed to be good and take care of the situation, like they don’t need to do anything but make things worse. The certain ones think they’re so important and can do what they want no matter what everyone else thinks.
Then there is this important, to the story, dance. Tom needs to keep his eyes open for anything “funny” happening. Then these people want to dance and Jule wants to fight them but they don’t want to fight, just dance. It seems all Jule wants to do create problems.Chapter 25 is about springtime in California. It explains and goes into a lot of detail of the lands and weather and the growing fruit.
