Week of September 22-28 Entry #3

Chapter 10 and 11 talks about farmers getting prepared to move and after they move out. In Chapter 10, Tom and Casy join the farmer group and help the group prepare to leave. The farmers do work such as salting meat. At the end of the chapter, the farmers finally leave. A grampa suddenly change his mind and decides to stay and the rest of the group leave the land and head towards California.
Chapter 11 is about the land that was left after the farmers left to California. The author describes the land as barren because some people are left there and they cultivate the land, but they are not so enthusiastic enough to actually grow crops there. The author says that these workers just drive a tractor over the land everyday. The men left in this land seem to have little skill in cultivation.
