Chapter 2seven, I thought that it was good how the strike ended. However, his bad times are only getting worse. I think its really sad how he become homeless again. He finally gets a job, but then gets fired from that job because he isnt strong enough. I think that's like discriminating towards him becasue he shouldnt be fired for something that he probably cant afford. Ughhhh it gets me mad that winter approches; He attends a political meeting and then gets thrown out because he falls asleep and starts to snore. He comes across a girl he once knew and she seems to me, to be pretty well off. She invites Jurgis to see other family and it just give me a tickle in my tummy. Ewwwww its soooo gross how Stainsloves dies. He falls asleep and then the rats come ant eat him that's just gross to me. I would not want that to happen to me. EVER! (:
Not gunna lie, I think its good that Maria goes into prostitutin becasue if your making money for your family then anything you can do will help. I mean I dont judge. He yet spends another night in jail. . . No suprise.
Chapter twenty8, I thought that lieing to get out of jail is a good idea until you get caught. Which I think he might, because he just loves going to jail. He is just going into soooooo much lieing. Im not sure I like it. I want him to be the way he was before. I just think he was much happier. It gets me very happy when I found out that Jurgis was walking and while he was walking he came across a political party, and he went in. As he was listening he fopund himself agreeing with everything. He finally felt that a political party was for once siding on his interests and ideas. (:

Reaction to tewnty6(:
In chapter 20six, I thought that the whole strike thign is totally expected. I mean if a place shuts down then yeah something is going to happen. However, Jurgis asks for more pay of three dollars a day, and recieves it. I think its a bit weird how the packers hire all the thugs; then hire a significant amount of Southern Blacks. Yayyyyy FINALLY things are looking up for Jurgis. He gets asked to be a boss for the killing beds. The packers are desperate to provide fresh meat to keep the public opinion good. I like that becasue now they are playing fair after Jurgis becomes boss. Jurgis then meets up with the man who raped his wife and e attacks him. Jurgis calls a friend from jail and discovers that Conner is one of Scully's favorites. This was a pretty intense chapter. I like is so far and I think more things are looking up for Jurgis but then I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of everything. Not a lot happened but if you think about it, many events happened to make this more fun. It makes me mad how hes in jail AGAIN. Can't this man ever stay out? But then again, like the prisinor said about how being in jail is keeping you alive. Soo I mean it goes both ways. I would not want to go to jail, nor be in Jurgis's position right now.

Reaction to 2three-Twenty5(:
In chapter 23, this made me super happy. Jurgis found a job diggin underground railroads and it made me feel very hopeful for him. I believe that Jurgis is probably feeling like how I feel about it. Very happy and that it will last till winter. Oh my goodness Christmas is my favorite holiday and it sadenes me that he had to spend it in the hospital from a broken arm, while working.
While reading 24, the main part for me was probably when Jurgis comes across a man and he helps him out and it makes me very happy. he offers to pay for his cab and offers him to dinner. Freddie treated Jurgis very nice, I know I would love to get a 100 dollar bill. I think its a hands up for Jurgis because it proves that there are nice people and that the world isnt as bad as it was cooked up to be. Stupid butler was being mean when he kicked him out of the house. I mean it was one night so I think that it wouldnt have been such a bad idea to let him stay there one night.
In chapter twentyfive, Well you darn right if the bartender jips me money im going to attack him. It was a bit wrong that he handled it in that way and it just made me super mad when Jurgis had to go to jail for it. I mean c'mon you just lost almost all your money, he had a right to act that way. In a weird way I agree with the other prisinors about the whole " Life of crime is a way to live." Because where there you get frd and you have a bed and ten days isnt that bad. Jurgis to me is doing anything in his power he can to survive. Honeslty id rather be dead like the whole situation about the man having a concussion and freezing to death is soooooooo outrangeous and it paints a ugly picture in my head that I dont wanna ever think about. Jurgis get another job as a hog trimmer and reciveves regular pay. He becomes part of a republican party, and I guess they won so Jurgis becomes 300 dollars richer, and then he goes and drinks and in Packintown its basically a celebration. (:

Tewnty, 21 and twenty2(:
In these chapters they were different. Jurgis got a job and what not and I give him kudos because he was trying to make it better for his family and I like the dedication he gives. Learning English was very big for me because it is important to communicate and I like that he is still pushing forward to learn it still. Its sad that the family's income comes from a 10 year old. I think its good for the 10 year old but for the parents it m,ust feel weird becasue then you would feel horrible about yourself. Its very joyful how the lady was trying to help Jurgis find a job after the life he's had. He can only go home on weekends but at least he has a job. Another person dies and It's definetly sad but you can learn to get through it.(: Jurgis trys to fight his emotions when he should just ask for help and not keep them bottled up. Haha when the farmer ask for hekp is very good to me. :(

Thanksgiving Reading.(: 7-19 <--------- Word.
Well my thanksgiving was amazing and here are the readiong we were supposed to do.(: Im almost finished with Go Ask Alice, it is such a good book!!!!!!
Chapter 7
My response to chapter seven, I think its sad how no one can take a break off work because they are in so much debt. I know it must be hard to do. Their getting sick because of their living conditions, I feel very blessed that I dont get sick because of where I live. I think its also how there is no heating in their work so its not really plesent to go to and that most of them become alcoholics. :/ Alcohol can do some mager damege to someone who isnt used to it.
Chapter 8
My response to chapter eight, Tamozious I think his name is reminds me of several people. I mean many of my friends I believe will be as successful as he is in dealing with his music. He likes it alot, also likes Marija. He proposes to her and I tihnk thats the cutest thing ever. She obviously accepts. Its sad how many workers lose their jobs becasue after the ruch of winter. I know I would be devestated if I had a job and I lost it.
Chapter 9
My response to chapter nine, This chapter was the most wonderful of them all!! I am so proud that Jurgis is learning English and his kids are helping him. It brings great joy to my fash to see people getting somewhere. I love this because I know how hard it is to learn another language. He become a U.S citizen! Yayyy(: This was also a chapter that repeated its self, because I thought Jurgos already knew about the mean and then it says that he realizes that unfit meat is packed in with the good. I mean its good to do that but also I like to learn new things.
Chapter 10
My response to chapter ten, I mean this is a bit outrageous only because I dont know how much the money situation is. I am comparing it to todays money and so trying to figure it out doesnt really make sense to me. This family is really srtuggling to keep their jobs. They have a job for a while then sometihng happens and it get ruined, then they get it back then get fired. I think if anything they need the jobs because if they are expecting a child they need money to do that to give it a good life/childhood. She gives birth to her healthy son, and then she names him after Jurgis' father.
Chapter 11
My response to chapter eleven, I think its sad that you are always having to worry about your job and how much you are getting paid and if your getitng paid for that week. I know I would be really mad if I didnt get paid for doing so much work. It would make me really mad. Hahahah I think its really funny how Ona I think? Sews her money into clothes, its a good idea but other then the fact that it weighs her down when she walks in the mud.
Chapter 12
My response to chapter twelve, it must really suck that Jurgis sprains his ankle and cannot return to work. That must really mess tihngs up with the family, not being able to bring home any money for the family. He also belives that the only way he can get the smile back on his face is by his infint son. Usually thats how it is for me. I also believe that Jurgis has been through a lot and yet he is doing everything in his power to make it better for him and his family. He got FROSTBITE! That have must really sucked for him. By getting frostbite it permently damages his joints in his fingers.
Chapter 13
My response to chapter thirteen, OH MY GOODNESS someone dies from the meat. That is what stood out the most for me, and it made iot really sad because she didnt really experience life and Jurgis didnt want to pay for a funeral. Its sad but then again I can understand where he is coming from, because he doesnt want to spend money on a dead person and also the fact that he doesnt want to bring back that bad memory.
Chapter 14
My response to chapter fourteen, It is starting to get the good part that they are finally realizing the real secrets of the meat packing industry. Its actually getting serious and down to the nitty gritty. It just grosses me out the fact about the meat. I want to be a vegitarian now.
Chapter 15
My response to chapter fifteen, I think its a bit outrageous that they are working 15 and 16 hour shifts. Jurgis to me is a very strong person becaus ehe has been through so much, noe dealing with his wife. I think its sad that her boss is making her be his mistress. After all Jurgis has done I dont tihnk he deserves what is happening to him. Then he is protective so he basically chokes Onas boss and then later he has to go down to the police station.. wow, I will keep saying it, but Jurgis has been theough alot.
Chapter 16
My response to chapter sixteen, Its sad that he is in jal on christmas eve and all he can do is think about the times hes had with Ona and walking with her and being with her. he begins to cry and I hate when guys cry so it just makes me even more sad when I find this out.
Chapter 17
My response to chapter seventeen, Wow he is sentenced to 30days in prison? Thats a bit harsh if you ask me. I hate how the man lied about what really happened with the Ona situation. It makes me very angry. I also dont like the fact that he cant work witch then he can not provide for his family and it will be very bad news bears... :(
Chapter 18
My response to chapter eighteen, This chapter is sad only because when he gets out of prison he then finds out that his family got evicted because they couldnt afford rent to live there and within a week they sold the house.
That's all for now, thank you very much for your time and patience.(:

Response To "Go Ask Alice" (:
Well curently I decided to read Go Ask Alice. So far so good. It sounds weid but I like books that are true because it makes it easier for me to believe. The part that I agreed with is the fact that she had troubles with math. She said she got mostly A's and B's and one C which was in math. Thats how mine should be and their not. Math really is a struggle and I got a C in math. I also dont know what its like to completely move away from everyone, she moved states and I dont think I would ever allow my parents to move to another state. I have so much here that I dont think I would leave. I like the fact that she has so much detail into her diary. I write in a diary as well and I know what its like when she said that that's like her friend and no on will ever read it. I understand that part and I can relate. The whole part about her losing weight and gaining it. I think yes it matters, but honestly if your healthy then she shouldnt worry. I can relate with her because I dont get along with my mom or dad very much. Some days are better than others. I like this book because i can relaate to it so much and it seems as if it could be my diary. Haha Also about the whole sex part, I dont believe teens should be doing it at that age. Thats my opinion though. I like this book and I want to continue reading this to see what happens. (:

The Jungle(:
My partners are Destiny Beaman and Alyssa Kargas.
I read Chapters four and five. Here are my comments and questions.(:
Chapter Four(:
1. Pg. 41 I think its great that he started working. I think its wrong how Jurgis get paid 17 and a half cents per hour earning only a dollar and a half per day.
2. Pg 44 and 45 They were talking about getting a house and and about rent.
3. Why would Jurgis want his children to go to school instead of getting a job?
4. Do you think Jurgis's reaction to the rent situation was reasonable or understandable?
5. Should he have flipped out that much?
Chpater Five(:
1. Pg 55 and 56 basically talking about where the family slep in the house.
1. Why wouldnt they get a house big enough for all of them to sleep comfortably and they woud all just have to pitch in?
2. I like how he likes his job while everybody else hates it. His opinion on this is hes making money and doin the best he can for his family to make sure they are alright.
3. Pg 62 and 63 I think this is gross because this is when Jurgis discovers that some of the unfit meat for people to eat is being put into the meat that is okay for humans to eat. They out it in so that the inspectors wont find it. I think this changes my mind and i want to be a vegitarian.
1. Does this make you change your mind about eating meat? Why or why not?
Mr. Boyd this is weird to say but if I wouldnt have read this book I dont think I would have known the stuff I found out and for that I thank you(: I enjoy reading books that have a point to get across. Kinda like Sammy & Juliana in Hollywoodd. Good book.(:
