The Grapes of Wrath
The Grapes of Wrath
The house has been mashed in at one corner and is apparently deserted. Casy says that it looks like the arm of the Lord has struck. Tom can tell that Ma isn't there, for she would have never left the gate in its present, unhooked state. The two men only see one resident (the cat), but Tom wonders why the cat hasn't gone to find another family if his family has moved and wonders further why the neighbors haven't taken the belongings that remain in the house.
