A fight breaks out, and, when the policeman shoots at the fleeing Floyd, Casy knocks him out. A policeman accuses him of communism and tries to arrest him. When a man arrives seeking workers to pick fruit, Floyd asks for the proposed wages in writing. Connie, the husband of Tom’s pregnant sister, Rose of Sharon (called Rosasharn by her family), abandons her. They stop in a migrant encampment, where they speak with a man named Floyd Knowles, who informs them that jobs are scarce, available pay is poor, and families are literally starving to death in the makeshift migrant camps. Upon arrival in California, they find that their trials are far from over. Grampa and Granma Joad die along the route, and Tom’s elder brother, Noah, decides to abandon the enterprise. They encounter many obstacles on the journey, as well as warnings that the jobs they expect in California are illusory. The Joads and Casy head out along Route 66, joining an exodus of poor tenant farmers heading west. When the two men reach Uncle John’s home, they find the family, enticed by handbills advertising farm-labour jobs, preparing to drive to California. Tom learns that his family has been evicted from the farm and has moved in with Uncle John. Tom Joad, newly released from prison after serving a sentence for manslaughter, makes his way home, and along the way he is joined by Jim Casy, a former preacher.
