Chapter 31:
So in this chapter I didn't like how Marija wouldn't give up prostitution. Yea I know it could probably be hard becuase of the morphine she is addicted to but still its a little crazy when she says shes going to be a prostitute for the rest of her life, but I think thats its good that Jurgis at least tried to get her to stop. I aslo really likes how Jurgis went and talked to that one dude for the magazine. Its really good though how he is finally going and talking to him to say that he thinks and how he feels; I liked how they talked about the hours that workers were working and that it should be ok for a man to work for two hours and then be able to devote the rest of his time for the things that he likes to do and what intrests him. The other thing that I liked is that the socialist party got a lot of awards. Also, that the speaker encouraged all those who were in favor of a socialist community to continue of fighting because the battle they are fight has not been won. This shows that he people who really care about what they believe in will do what they need to do to prove that they are dedicated to the issue and want what they believe in and for what they think is right.....

Chapter 27 &&&& 28
ok so here is the deal.... these chapters were like way sad and I think I almost cried... but I didn't so its all good(:
Chapter 27:
Jurgis is out trying to look for a job, but at the same time a lot of men are also looking for a job so things can get really difficult. I did get really happy though when he did find a job, it just shows to never give up and always have hope. WELL then Jurgis goes to look for Marija and this was really sad because he found her at a whorehouse.. this to me was really sad because it just stinks to think people had to stoop to some low levels just to get money so that they are able to support their family. Also, another person dies.. I mean seriously did any body ever live??
Chapter 28:
ok soo I got really excited and happy and stuff when the girls no longer were prostitues... they were now able to go back into respecting their body and not just giving it away. It made me mad that the prostitutes got addicted tod rugs so that they were always coming back for more.. I mean honestly you dont want your employeer to get you hooked onto drugs! like for real thats just so messed up!!! I would hate if my boss got me addicted to a drug just cause they didn't want me to leave...

chapter 26 (:
ok in this chapter Jurgis keeps his job, yes he keeps it!! Jurgis make a total of three dollars an hour, but making three dollars per hour isn't that bad. I didn't like how he got put back into jail; while he was in jail he figured out that phil Connor was one of Scully's favorites. Finally, the meat packing brought women to sell booze to the black workers to keep them working. To me it just seems like Jurgis finally turned his life around, but by knowing al the books that we read in this class im not going to get my hopes up. I really liked how he got to keep his job though and ended up being a boss... it was time for him to get to take charge over something!!!

23. 24. 25 (:
Chapter 23:
I think its cool how Jurgis gets a job(: It also kinda stinks that he suffers from and injury though and is then put into the hospital.. ): It seems like to me that the author really does not like Jurgis and just wants to make the poor guy suffer as badly as he possibly can ):
Chapter 24:
It was way sad how they had to fight over the places to live in and stuff.. I really liked how the one mad helped Jurgis b giving him a meal and a place to say and paid for the cab and gave him some money. I don't like how the butler dude told Jurgis that he had to leave and he could not stay there. Also, I am starting to think that Jurgs likes to fight people.
Chapter 25:
It is really sad when you cant do something when you have money with out people being or getting suspicious..It is also crazy how he got put back into jail because the bartender cheated him. Jurgis was just trying to prove that he wans't going to take that from anybody and he was not ok with people like that, (: I think Jurgis did the right thing and i probably would have started hurting the guy too (:

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.......

Chapters 7- 20 The Jungle
Chapter 7:
in this chapter i really didn't like how they were still going to work even though they were sick instead of staying home a recovering from their illness. Also i didn't like how people were suffering from starvation and being homeless.i think if someone is suffering from starvation people in the community should do all that they can and are willing to do to help others out.
Chapter 8:
in chapter 8 i didn't really understand what the celebrations were... and why just most any one could go if the wanted to. it really upset me when i read that people were loosing their jobs and not making money. This is because its not easy to find a job and if you can;t make money then you are not going to be able to provide for your family.
Chapter 9:
I really like how Jurgis started learning English! Ao, how he was becoming a U.S citizen. I was kinda happy but not at the same time when Jurgis learned about everthing in the meat packing places.... i think it should if used be evenly distributed but id rather have it with noooo ickkyyyy meat!!
Chapter 10:
in this chapter i like how they made their house seller person guy go over what all the coasts were for!! I think its sad how Marija looses her job but its also good that she finda new one... I love love love love love how Ona has the baby and Jurgis had a great affection for him, but it is a little ridiculous how Ona goes back to work after a week of delivering the babyy.... it puts her health in danger!! ):
Chapter 11:
I think it is great how Marija opens a savings account. BUT its not good that she goes and withdraws all the money and sews it into her clothes. then she had a fear of sinking into the mud on the streets..... i just think why even bother sewing it in your clothes????
Chapter 12:
i think that it is a big bummer that Jurgis gets hurt and cant work for 3 months. Its stupid to me how it get frustrated and then takes it out on his family.... thats just not right! Oh and i really dont like how Jurgis beats the one guy with a really long name and makes him go to work on snowy days when he doesn't want to after he got all frostbitten and ruined his joints in his hands. Oh Oh Oh and i think its crazy how and 11 year-old had to work to help his family.... thats just such a young age..... ):
Chapter 13:
i didn't no really how to feel about the one ladys daughter dyeing cause some were happy and some weren't......... i think id be sad thought!! I feel like Jurgis should have wanted to help with the funeral... but oh well its his life bud! Also its good that Jurgis gets a job but i mean it does kinda stink that it like th least desirable one of all.....
Chapter 14:
I really really really like how Jurgis and his family learn about all the secrets in the meat packing industries... like how the worst meat goes into the sasgue. it kinda really sad when Jurgis and Ona start to not get along and Jurgis becomes and alcoholic... ): 0: Its super upper sad how Antanas get a bad childhood sickness and only makes it to his first birthday ): It great though how Ona get pregnant again but not so great that she gets sick cause that can be bad for the baby and her health.... :/
CHapter 15:
this is one crazyyy chapter to me!i can not believe that Ona gets harassed, and rapped, and threatened and still lies to Jurgis about to why she is not coming home at night... I dont think that Jurgis should have had to go to prison because he was just protecting his wife and hurting the person that hurt her. If anyone should have gone to jail it should have been the Connor guy.
Chapter 16 and 17:
I dont think it was right at all for Jurgis to get arrested and taken to jail he really was doing it in defense of his wife.... it is even a little blow outta proportion when they sentence him to 30 days in prison. He even pleads to the judge that his family can not be provided for if he does not work but the judge does not care. He gets a visit and finds out that everyone lost their jobs and they cant pay rent or get food and Marija is suffering from blood poisoning and the family income comes from begging. that to me is just really sad and should not happen to anyone if that were to be possible. its also really sad how he has to be in jail durring christmas and how he thinks about what his family has gone through....
Chapter 18:
After spending 3 extra days in prison since he could not pay his $300 bond its sad that he had to walk 20 miles how to find out that his family does not live there some other family does and his is in a boarding house. but it is also cool that he arrives just as Ona is going into labor.
Chapter 19:
i like how the midwife agrees to go help even though Jurgis could not afford what she was asking. its kinda a bummer that he gets told to leave cause he is in the way so he goes to a saloon until 4 A.M.. but at his arrival it made me cry cause the baby had died and Ona was dying. But its stupid how he went to get drunk afterwards!! :l
