Chapter 29 and 30 Reaction

While reading chapter twenty nine, I felt happy that Jurgis met Ostrinski who invited him back to his house. I thought that meeting Ostrinski was a good experience for Jurgis because he got to talk to someone who speaks Lithuanian and they could both relate to each other. I think that Jurgis learned a lot from Ostrinski about the economic classes; Ostrinski explained that there is the small, privileged capital class and the large ignorant class. I think that the more Jurgis learns about socialism the more successful he will be. Overall, I think that this chapter was joyful because Jurgis got to learn what was really going on in America.

During chapter thirty, I felt excited when Jurgis decided to go see Teta Elzbieta to tell her about socialism. I think that Teta Elzbieta was happier to see Jurgis only because Jurgis wanted to work and help support the family. I felt like Jurgis was lucky when he went into a small hotel and ended up getting a job, but, I think that Jurgis deserves every bit of luck that he can get. Things started to look up for Jurgis, especially when Ostrinski informed Jurgis that his new boss was a state organizer for the socialist party. I felt like it was wonderful for Jurgis to have a boss who respected him and called him comrade. I think that it is good for Jurgis to take an interest in socialism because then he won’t have time to go back to drinking or committing crimes. Overall, I really enjoyed each of these chapters because there was nothing sad in them.

  1. Jenny,

    This is very nice blog and the color labling for the commas was a very nice touch.

  2. Jenny, good job on your response. I agree with you on how this part of the book was good because it wasn't sad. Also good job on putting in the extra stuff Mr. Boyd asked for. Keep up the good work.
