While reading chapter thirty one, I felt horrible for Marija because she couldn't leave prostitution because she was addicted to morphine. It makes me really sad to think that she will be a prostitute for the rest of her life. I think that Marija's reaction shocked Jurgis because he thought he could help her get out of the brothel. I felt happy that Jurgis met with a magazine editor who wanted Jurgis to explain his life, but, I think if he shares the truth about the meat packing industry then the company owners will get mad. I felt like Nicholas Schileman was a fierce socialist who was trying to tell Jurgis everything he needed to know about socialism in a few seconds; Nickolas did have some good points but I think Jurgis lost him after a while. I think that one bad idea Nickolas mentioned was that once the inefficiency of the product is eliminated through technology then no worker will have to woek for countless hours. I think this is bad because the less hours the workers put in, the less money they get paid for that day. I didn't like the way this book ended because all it talked about was socialism. This made the last few chapters boring because socialism was all Upton Sinclair would talk about. I was disappointed with the ending because Sinclair never told us what happened to Jurgis and the rest of the characters. In the end, I felt like this book became more about socialism and less about the storyline.
