Tom Joad and his family are reunited and Pastor Casy is hanging around. The characters in this book have no direction and are trying to survive. They’re wanderers. The narrative hasn’t really begun yet, I’m guessing the Joads will go west. Tom Joad gets out of jail for manslaughter which was a plot device to give a “time travel” like a coma would to contrast Oklahoma of the past to now.
