CASE STUDY 
Muley tells Tom that the Joad family is currently staying at Uncle 
John Joad's house and that they are planning to move west pretty soon, too. 
Muley's own family left town a long while ago, but he didn't follow them. 
He couldn't bear the idea of letting the landowners win. So, he lives the life 
of a vagrant, sleeping in abandoned homes and in riverbeds, making it his 
life's work to annoy the landowners and their minions. Tom, Casy, and 
Muley dive into the cornfields when they see a car approach their campfire. 
The landowner-minions have arrived to see who is trespassing. They search 
the house and flood the corn rows with light, but to no avail. 
The next morning, Tom and Casy walk to Uncle John Joad's house. Lots of 
hootin' and hollerin' occur when the Joad's realize that their boy has come 
home at last. Tom is reunited with his mother (Ma Joad), his father (Pa 
Joad), his grandfather (Grampa), his grandmother (Granma), his brother 
Noah, his brother Al, his sister Rose of Sharon, his sister's husband Connie, 
his little brother Winfield, and his little sister Ruthie. Ma Joad is especially 
moved. She cooks up a delicious breakfast for everyone. 
The Joads get ready for their trip. They pack up their car, a Jalopy, with 
their most essential possessions, and they sell the rest for $18 in town. 
When everything is packed a ready to go, Grampa realizes he wants to stay 
behind. He tells everyone he won't leave his home, and so they put four 
doses of sleepytime cough medicine in his coffee, and then they carry him 
to the car.
It's not pleasant going. The only people protected from the sun are the three 
people in the driver and shotgun seats. Everyone else has to ride on top of 
the car, fully exposed to the sun. On the first day, one of their dogs gets run 
over by a car. It's pretty sad.

Questions 
1 What do you think why name of the novel is “The Grapes of Wrath”? 
2 How would you name this novel? 
3 How can you describe the term “Great Depression” in American 
Literature? 
4 What can you catch by this chapter? 
How can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own 
cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children? You can't 
scare him – he has known a fear beyond every other. 
” 
(chapter 19) 
5 How could you explain this philosophical idea? 
This is the beginning—from "I" to "we". If you who own the things people 
must have could understand this, you might preserve yourself. If you could

separate causes from results, if you could know that Paine, Marx, Jefferson, 
Lenin were results, not causes, you might survive. But that you cannot 
know. For the quality of owning freezes you forever into "I", and cuts you 
off forever from the "we". 
— Chapter 14 
Positions 
1 Later that night they arrive at a border patrol station and the guard wants 
to inspect their truck to make sure they aren’t smuggling fruit. Ma pleads 
with the border patrol to let them go quickly. She says that Granma is really 
sick. Unbeknownst to the rest of the family, Granma died a few miles back. 
Ma Joad doesn’t want the family to get in trouble for the have an dead old 
lady in their truck. 
2 Tom and Al make friends with one of the men there who is getting ready 
to go north to look for jobs. The man, Floyd Knowles , warns them that 
there are no jobs to be had here and the entire farming system is corrupt. 
Landowners are paying workers practically nothing, and the law is on their 
side, too.
3 Ma, Pa, Rose of Sharon, Ruthie and Winfield decide to leave the boxcar 
(where Al remain with his new fiancée, Aggie and her parents, the 
Wainwrights) and they go in search of a dry shelter. They come across an 
abandoned barn. Inside a little boy is sitting next to his half-starved father 
who has been feeding his son instead of feeding himself. Rose and Sharon 
asks everyone to leave the barn and she lies down next to the half-starved 
man, 
letting 
him 
her 
breast 
milk.
