The Jungle Chapters 29-30

I find it really neat that Jurgis, looking like a tramp, managed to speak to the speaker. Of course, Upton Sinclair would say that his speech was about socialism. I also would not be surprised if Mr. J expected that to occur. I liked how after Jurgis talks to the speaker he is introduced to another socialist, that brought him to his home, so since Jurgis had no home and was okay with sleeping on the kitchen floor. Of course, after they go on talking for hours about socialism, whcih would make me really tired. I am glad that I wouldn't have to sit through that; also, that those immigrants suffered through this so that I would not have to. I wonder why he sat there, well laid there, for an hour afterward. He probably did because he had so many thoughts going through his head about socialism. I am glad that he received a job. It is really neat, to me, that when he goes to that one guy's house and informs him about his job at this hotel where every single worker is a socialist. I really did not like Chapter 30. It was not very fun to read because of the way it was continously agruing about socialism. I felt like I was about to fall asleep reading it. I agree with part of the discussion we had last class about how he could have agrued for socialism more periodically throughout the novel instead of just at the end.

  1. Brenna,

    You are doing an excellent job responding to the text. Please take another look at the "Sentence, FANBOY sentence" pattern. Remember, without a FANBOY, this sentence pattern does not work.
