Chapter 26:
In this chapter a strike begins at Jurgis's job. This amazes me because he is recieving three dollars a day, wich means he's doing nothing and he argued to receive that wage. In this chapter descrimination takes place against the union leaders, which causes another strike. Jurgis is the boss of the killing beds, which is suprising.
Later on Jurgis come upon a man Phill Connor in Packingtown, and attacks him. Jurgis is a violent man. He has changed so much from the beginning of the novel. He goes to jail to find that connor is one of Scully's favorites. UH OH. Jurgis pays his pail, is poor, and moves to the other end of Chicago.
Chapter 27:
Jurgis begins begging for a job. Its hard for him to live in such run down places because he had previously had much money and he wenty from all, to nothing. I bet that would be really hard if I was in his positing as well. He finds someone that he knew before, and she gave him the address to see Marija. This made me very excited for him to go see his family finally! Sadly, the family ends up having a horrible story, which should be no suprise, and Jurgis once again spends another night in jail.

Katelynn,
ReplyDeleteI like that are thinking about these events from Jurgis' perspective and appreciating the difficulty of his situation. Please remember that the bulk of your responses should be centered on responding to the text - not summarizing it.
