Chapter 11
Summary: (a poetic chapter) All the Tenant farmer’s house are empty. The only living things left are the people who run the tractors. There is a comparison between the horse and tractor saying that a horse continually lives, even after a day’s work however a tractor dies once the motor is shut off. (This represents the theme of Nature vs. Machine). Eventually the land will become completely vacant and the only creatures or life that will disturb the dust that covers the land will be the wild animals, the wild animals mind you that are not being controlled by “Moloch.”
Themes:
· Nature vs. Machine
· People vs. “Moloch”
