During chapter 5 we learn that most of the farmers are going to leave and search for new jobs. This is happening because the bank has repossessed all the land and are planning to use all of it for farm land. The person driving the tractor is one of the sons of a farmer; the people ask him why he is doing it. He replies that he has to take care of his family; that he cannot think of the other people, he needs to focus on getting money so he can feed his family.
Chapter 6
Now the two men are looking at all of the damage that has been done. They are sitting down by the house when the cat comes along. That is when they figured that everyone left in a hurry. If 
not all of the boards and belonging would have been taken. In this chapter we also meet Muley Graves. He is the only person that is left in the town. He has been wondering around surviving on petty animals like frogs, and what not. They make a fire and cook a rabbit; while they are eating Muley talks about how he is "touched" be seeing past events that has happened, and he is just catching up with the men because he has been alone for so long. After talking for a while they decide they will sleep the night there, and then take off for Uncle John's the next day. (That is where Tom's family went). The "cave" where Muley is staying is a hole that Tom and his brother dug; Tom refuses to stay in it. He just wants to sleep under the stars.
