The Jungle pages 150-200
So, Jurgis is injured and looking for work. He found work and started working again, but this job was not very healthy and made him throw up and smell bad, when he was going home people would avoid him because of this. The summer passed. Things were getting extremely hard for the family. They had lost so much hope. Jurgis was still working in horrible conditions. Jurgis then begins to drink and becomes addicted to it, and it was ruining his views of his family that he once so loved, and he had many diseases due to his job. Summer came and went, then fall did too, untill there was winter. In winter Ona has begun to disapear and lie to Jurgis about where she is. Jurgis finds her and is very angry. He forced her to tell him the truth and she did. She had given body to help their family. Jurgis went to kill the man who had mad love to his wife and was arrested. Jurgis went to prison. Well, that ends this part too, right now I would say that they are pretty screwed over, join us next time for page 200-250

an interesting analysis...
ReplyDeleteHi, Bocul, this is your teacher.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a strong reaction to this book! The exclamation points indicate great excitement! You have noticed the many details--one thing Sinclair does is give you the details so that you can realize the social commentary for yourself. Very good observation. Why are we hearing so much about how bad the job is?
The Jungle is a challenging and high quality choice for your first book. Commendations to you :-) I look forward to seeing what you say at the end.
You have all your blogs for the first grading, but you're not yet on the go for the 2/17 grading (you'll need six then). If you are having trouble finding time to blog, please remember that computer lab 217 is open every morning at 8:00. You can enter through the side door beside the lab (knock and we'll let you in).
I look forward to your next posting!
