After reading these chapters of The Jungle I had a lot of trouble understanding what was going on. It is very difficult for me to read something that takes place in a foreign country because I have trouble visualizing the story, thus, me not understanding. What I did get out of the reading was that there were two people, Jurgis and Ona, and they just got married in Lithuania and had a really strange reception, where many babies attended. The reception was in a Saloon, which I though was very strange. It seems that this is a very poor country and I just really had a difficult time picturing this story in my mind because it is so different from anything I have ever read. Even after reading Spark Notes I feel completely lost with what I have read. Maybe the discussion in class will help me understand and I can find a method to help me understand this novel.
