The Jungle LAST CHAPTER!!!!!

Okay so now that we are done reading this we can finally get on with our lives!(not really cause we have to read two more books) This was a sad chapter in anyones eyes because, even though they are doing what had to be done to survive in that time period it still shouldn't be like that. Marija is a prostitute and this is sad but it gets worse. She feels as if she needs to be one for the rest of her life! What is this saying about that time period? It just really touched me that things had to be this way and im glad that we dont live in a society such as one Jurgis and his family had to live in.
