The Jungle chapters 4-6

My partners are Bre and Alyssa.

     I felt that chapter four was going pretty good. In this chapter Jurgis was talking about how he thought that children should go to school and get an education. I think that they should because to get an education would be good for them because we learned that knowledge is power. Therefore if the children go to school and get an education then they will eventually gain knowledge. I agree with Jurgis.
     In chapter five some people were complaining about their jobs. The meatpacking industry is nasty and i find it disgusting.
     In chapter six it was about Ona and Jurgis getting a house. The bad part of this chapter was that the realtor lied to them about paying interest. They had got the house and talked to the old lady who told them about the house and the past of it. She also told them that they had to pay interest on the house and they looked at the deed and they had to pay $12 a month plus the $7 interest. Though the old lady didn't have to pay interest because they lied about her son and how much he makes.
      I think that this is a weird book.........

  2. Destiny,

    I like that you have a good understanding of the plot. However, response writing should focus mostly on how you responded to the text, not on summarizing the plot.
