Reading over Turkey Breakkkkk

After reading the section that we were assigned of the Jungle, I am a bit overwhelmed because of all that happened. At first, everything was going really well for the family, which made me pleased because in previous chapters they had been so devestated, but then things took a turn for the worse. The family began comprehending the evil doings of the factory, for they all worked in such varied areas they could see all the crime being done. Jurgis was sent to jail, grandpa dies, and they have no money, nor food. It explains the terrible things happening to the women as well. This reading fooled me at the beginning thinking things were going to be okay, but in the end everthing is just going terribly for them. It was really sad to read this and I can't imagine what it would be like to be in this family's position. I get hungry going from breakfast, to sitting in school waiting for the clock to strike 11:15. I truly can't imagine what it would be like to be poor or starving and I feel so terrible for this family. It saddens my heart that all of this is true. Reading sad strories is one thing, but reading novels based on true events that are sad is very depressing, and I don't like what I'm reading. I really don't. :(
