Chapter 23:
Okay, the beginning of this made me mad because he is STILL drinking. I mean come on, if you're going to have an addiction at least try to control it. Don't just go out and spend all your money on booze right when you get paid. This chapter was also sad because it said that he had no more affection in his life and that touched me. It was like saying that he had no more heart. It was, again, sad because he spent his Christmas in the hospital and said it was the best one he had in America.
Chapter 24:
I think Freddie is a great friend to Jurgis even though they just met. The only thing i didn't like about him was that at first he was trying to say Jurgis had a good life, that he didn't need money. I thought it was kind of ironic that Freddie ended up being the son of the man who owned the first factory that Jurgis worked at.
Chapter 25:
I HATED this chapter. Jurgis is a TERRIBLE person now. He is doing anything in his power just to get money. He has turned into a criminal. He used to be this great guy that cared about everything he believed in but now he has turned into an American. I honestly thought he was going to try to change Packingtown but no. Instead he is mugging people and helping in crimes and it is just HORRIBLE.
Blake,
