Chapter 9: The writer talks about what the family has to do in order to get to California. On the way the family runs into a whole bunch of farmers who are trying to sell the belongings, because the farmers need the money to pay the bank so that they wouldn't get their homes taken away. Another reason why the farmers are neither trying to sell or give away, is because their trying to raise money to go away for a little while.
Chapter 10: The family is still have a little bit of difficulty getting to their new home. Ma is worried, she doesn't know if life is going to be better there, or if their just going to run into the exact same problems.

During a meeting the family decides that Casey should tag along with the family just incased something were to happen to her.
Chapter 11: Before the farmers take off they give Pa and Joad very few tips on how to run a farm. Neither one of the guys could figure anything out, but they new that this would be the only way for them to move on. So they tried to understand it as well as they could. Towards the end once all the farmers and everyone leaves, the farmhouse is turned into a big shelter when all the farm animals come running in, to if there was a hurricane.
