Holly Freaking long!!!! Goodness.. chapters 7-19!! wwoooaaawww!→

Okay well lets start this out with saying it was the most longest readings i have done during a brake! I read though, and also that was the only way i could go out during my break! So these 7 chapters were intense! Like i was like omg wt? jajaja... No really Mr J.B you should have split up these chapters it was real long.. ooo well.. anyways lets get to the reaction...>>>>>

So it all starts out with chapter 7, man this time period was hard i could not be able to survive! The working conditions were just crazy. They didn't have heat in the meat plants during the winter! Holy Stupid people man this gets me mad. I don't know about you guys but i cant stand being cold like now the winter→h8 it! O also if they were sick they never got a change for like recovery they would just fire them.So obviously people wouldn't complain an they would just go along with life suffering! Also Jurgis is tripping out! He is in 100 dollar dept and he is not liking it. The wedding totally didn't do good how they thought it would! Chapter 8 was just a crazy one!I had  up an down stuff i got confused on how to even feel! So lets see Marija looses her job:/! aww maynn And it wasn't just her suffering with job looses it as a lot of people. If it wasn't loosing your job you would get house cut back, like Jurgis.  But there is always goods to bad things Tamoszius and Marija really like each other! I'm super happy she mat a guy who she really liked. Especially with all the things going on i mean a good thing wouldn't hurt. I was so happy that he proposed to her! yay! And she excepted! So next chapter it was a pretty chill one:] So Jurgis starts leaning english. I like that he is becoming more independent. So he starts going to the union meeting you know just goin along an he starts finding out all the things from the meat places and ughh i dont think he likes it! I wouldnt either! But hopefully he does something about it because i feel many people will die from meat problems!  So chapter 10 was a pretty up and down chapter too. Marija got her job:] but then lost it like two months later! Jrgis does take kind of a procaution, he asks what all the hidden money goes to and thy him 6 dollars go t water, 7 dollars to insurance, and 10 to taxes. He did not like this one bit! I mean i would not like it either they tricked him! OMg an oOna ispregnent! wooohoo:] So she had her baby and they name him Antanas, after The fater of Jurgis! An working conditions yeah super nasty like as has been in the last chapters!:] yay more reading!!!!!:///// So next chapter> 11, yeah, well doesnt get any better! The wages are cut! waaaow! didnt think it could get lower! So the good thing about this chapter is that Marija get a saving account! so i mean she is getting more independent so thats good!  Next chapter, which would be 12. Jurgis, dang its not going so good for this dude he sprained his ankle an he cant go to work for like 3 months, doesnt like this much either! weird fact: Jonas disapears from his family. Omg and wow when i thought the conditions couldnt not get any worse, poor Stanislova got frostbite! yeah i think its just a bit too cold! Chapter 13, poor Kristoforas dies:( because of that stupid meat they sell! His mom didnt have money so Marija loaned her same for the funeral. Dang and thing for Jurgis yeah, not so good he cant find a job!:/ Chapter 14, Jurgis's amily knows all the secreats of that nasty meat place and things start not looking so great. The poor baby Antanas was suffering from sicknesses whenhe was only1 year old! ughh this just makes me sad! what a sad story yo! So Ona yeah that girl is pregnen again. And She keeps crying about how much life changed and i mean i dont blame her her life is not so grat at the moment. So chapter 15. Work= bad! these por people are working 15-16 hours! too much! So funky fact: Ona has not been home in 2 days!? weird much! So she lies and says shes with a friend. Yeah right!! She finally confesses she is with her boss as his mistress! Well guess what that mother flipping dude did??! raped her! wow what a freak! this makes me sooooo mad! So Jurgis stands up for his lady and puts his finger down the bosses throut! jajajaja:] this made me smaile! ut then frown because some nosey people got poor Jurgis and took him to the police station. Next long chapter, So Jurgis has a trail and has a 3hundred bond to pay. So he ends up going to jail. But o-m- to the flippin G the matteresses had bugs in them!! Are you kidding me this makes me want to punch a baby!!!! So he is in jail and one day he notices he is not with his family for christmas eve:[ this breaks my heart because family is sooo important for me and not hving them makes me sad! But he is still worried about Ona which makes me happy:].....kinda. So next chapet...almost the end :D......So he make a  friend who helps him a lot an this makes me happy because friends mean the world to me! What made e sad was when Stanislovas went to go visit him and told him everyone lost there job and couldnt pay the rent anymore!:[ uggh life is ssoo crazy! Next chapter, 18 So He was gonna get out but he didnt have the money to get out so they added 3 more days! ughhh freaks! So h walks home 20 miles! And he finds another family in his house! waaow what bad luck he is having!! If i was himi would ay on the street and cry and cry! So he gts informed his family is back at the boarding house. So he goes and the first thing he hears is Ona giving birth to there 2nd child.  Last chapter!!!:]] Yay! well not yay cuz its getting real sad...:// Ok chapter 19, So he goes out to get some one to attend Ona he finds this Madame Haupt chick and pays her 20  bucks. The lad told him to just leave for the night. So he did. When he came back Madame Haupt was covered in blood (ttally gave me the chiils!!): So she tells him that the baby dies and Ona is dying! ugghhhh:[[  So he rushes inthere to see Ona, but once she layed eyes on him She dies!!:((( ughh i wanted to cry at this part! So Jurgis didnt know what to do so he tured to alcohol to calm him. And honestly i don't have much too say aboiut that. Yes its bad but what else is he suppose to do! He just lost his wife! oo wll these chapters were worthreadig maybe not over my break but were worth it! I really like this book, even though it makes me mad. Well bye byes am lit! hopefully this bok doesnt get worse:/.

Go ask Alice>> November 18th 2010!

Sooo.. I'm reading Go ask Alice for my individual novel, and its a pretty chill book. I have got about 20 pages into the book and its seems pretty interesting. What i like about this book is the fact that its in journal entries and i feel it bores me less. I do like  the fact that she is our age and i could relate the fact that shes kinda going through the same thing. I really like this book! many students from this class have or are reading this book. Also i think its pretty cool that she turned everything around and lost weight changed how she dressed and changed her grades. And the best part is that she rejected that looser of a guy who played with her once! Guys are stupid and its awesome that  she rejected him. So far i like this book and im going get to reading so peace out yoo!:]]

The Jungle>> pages 41-72

So this book is getting very interesting i feel that i mam understanding it a lot more. In chapter 4 it starts out that Jorgis goes to work and he starts working an he feels he doesn't have tat hard of a job and he is very happy how much he is getting paid. Then he talks about how he starts a new beginning and he doesn't want to rent any more so he actually want to own a house:] I'm super happy he is doing this for the family, because he is showing he really cares for them. In chapter five he starts to describe where each individual of the family slept in the house. I think that they should have gotten a bigger house though because its a big family. They also start talking about the conditions of the place and uggghhh tat discusses me! I still cant believe they check the meat only once a month! talk about unhealthy!! Anyways great book its better than i thought it would be:]]

Questions

1. Did the money they got back then have more value now days?
2. Why was he reacting so badly about signing the contract to owning the house?
3. Why do big families have small houses?
4. Why didn’t they throw away the meat that was going rotten or bad?
5. Why did he bring his family to see the conditions of the meat plant?
