Chapter 1
The story begins with the explanation of the Dust Bowl, and how it had affected the lands of the Panhandle and such. The dust blew in all over the territory and crops of many farmers, into homes and buildings, cars and anything alike. Men stand along their crop fields, gazing in disbelief at their newly ruined crops, knowing that their food wouldn't be eatable.
Setting: The Red and Grey Country, Panhandle Area, Oklahoma and Nebraska territory.
Chapter 2
The story moves towards a truck stop diner, where we find a large man sitting at the counter on a stool, wearing nothing but brand new cheap clothes. As he sips his coffee, he interacts with the waitress, trying to draw up conversation and the needless random questions. The man leaves the diner, only to find a man sitting outside, just waiting to ask him for a ride. We later find out that the hitchhikers name is Joad, a convicted man who commited homicide. As the roll on down the road, we learn the pasts and presents of the two men. Both with great intentions in their eyes. At the end of the chapter, Joad is let out at the beginning of a dirt road, as the man in the red truck squeels away down the other way.
Exposition: The Dust Bowl moving all over the Panhandle Area
