Grapes of Wrath MOVEMENT 1

So the 1st 11 chapters make up the first movement of the book. 

Chapter 11 ends with abandon houses and kids coming to break the windows.  There is a ghost-like feeling to these houses and the land: places where people were born, struggled, lived, died, and now everyone is gone.
