The Jungle pages 100-150
Last we left of with the winter coming in and proving to be dangerous and disheartening...Even in this harsh climate they still persevere and continue their attempts at paying for the home. Mean while one of their friends, a girl by the name Marija Berczynskas, has found a love with, get this, the superb musician from the wedding named Tamoszius Kuszleika. So Upton Sinclair did not just put so much detail on this one musician for no reason. The rest of the chapter is mostly about Marija visiting them. Jurgis finds this group, the union, and desires to learn English and pay attention to the country. Throughout the winter Jurgis's pay had dropped from like 9-10 dollars a week to only 5-6 dollars a week, which was barely enough to support them. The chapter passes with more conflict and so does the winter and spring and again comes summer. With summer comes more to work and Jurgis earns more money again. In this chapter they get a bank account, but once again winter comes , and then Jurgis gets injured!! The inlury was bad and inflicted some with his work. Winter goes by and Jurgis is still injured but also still active with the Union. That cover part 3 of this, like always be ready for the next part, pages 150-200!!
