The purpose of this chapter, I think, is the foundation of the rest of Adam's life--his new life. He's sort of undergone a baptism of fire, this crazy couple of days of his, and now he's emerged new and free and young. Will never thought Adam would buy a car, but he's buying a car; Lee never thought he might have a shot at true freedom for himself, and how he's nearly done (supposedly) with his service to the Trasks.
There's a pretty phenomenal contrast between the first and second parts of this chapter. Consider the stark differences between Adam's conversation with Will, Samuel's son, mostly regarding the funeral and its subject, and the conversation with Lee. Is one of these men--Will and Lee--more affected by the death than the other? Might this argument be different had Adam gone to talk to Tom?
