Summary: (this chapter talks about how they migrant people are dealing with these hard times) the travelers continue to look for food and work as they have been doing for months. They share stories, some that are true, some are made up and some they stole from movies. some people are getting drunk, so they can lessen the pain they are feeling by the depressive state they are in. Others play music and dance to release all the energy they have from not working.
Themes:
People vs. "Moloch" - the people are doing everything in their power to stay uplifted during this harsh struggle despite getting kicked off their land, not being wanted in California, trying to get thrown in jail and starving to death. This is another connection between the people and the turtle and how no matter what they are going to fight for survival until their death.
"we" vs."I" - people are trying to make these hard times survivable by engaging in activities for people to try and get their minds of the glaring hazards of the present.
This is a "bigger picture" chapter so there are no specific characters.
