Chapter 20-23

Chapter 20:
In this chapter i liked how Jurgis was willing to look for workeven though Connore had him blacklisted. It was good that he took the job that was not necissarily the best of the best but it was a way for him to make money.... so that made me happy (: i also liked how Juris started learning English again at nights!!! i think it is great that he wants to learn english and keeps working at it...

Chapter 21:
its really sad how the family's income come from 10 year olds... i dont think thats right at all for kids to be working.. i liked hoe the one lady wanted to help find Jurgis a job after seeing and hearing about their life and such....its good that he got a job at the mill but it kind of stinks that he can only go home on the weekends ): oh oh oh its also way sad when Antana dies exspecially because of they way that she died....

Chapter 22:
i dont like how Jurgis fight all of his emotions.. it cant possibly be good for himt o keep it all locked inside he has to let it all out eventually.... i like how the farmer offered him work and gave him shelter frot he times being... it showed that not all people are mean in this book.... it really stinks that jurgis works so hard to get only a few meals and that when he does make money he blows it in that night by buying alcohol and spending it on girls.......

  1. I agree that I am happy that Jurgis started learning English again and that he has a job. I also agree that it was very sad that Antanas died. You did a great job responding to the novel!

  2. nice blog, i liked how you didnt just restate the plot but more explained what stuck out to you and how they made you feel. i would reccomend, though, use spell check

  3. Hope, you seriously need to use speel check or just type it in word and it will help you with that. Another thing you could do is to read it over and look at what you wrote and correct any mistakes.
