Chapterrrr 26

In the beginning of chapter 26 it talked about how Jurgis became Scully's consultant, but as time went on Scully didn't need Jurgis anymore. This I thought was kinda rude because he had him do all that stuff for him and now he just decided to get rid of him. So since Scully didn't need him anymore he told him to go work as a scab. That    also was pretty rude because their living conditions aren't very good at all; Although on the good side the pay is better than Jurgis had before. I thought that was good because maybe he wont waste his money away on alcohol again or at least save some money for food or good things. After working for this job for awhile Jurgis got moved up to be a boss in Burham's killing rooms. While he is working he finds that the scabs below him are unwilling to work very hard. That would make me mad because I would want them to listen and do what they were suppose to since they are at work. The workers that were brought into the place were mostly African Americans and prisoners. When they came to work they didn't know that they were working as scabs. If I were them I would want to know what i'm going to go work for and not just be told what i'm doing when I get there. On the bad side of working as a scab is that the living conditions were horrible. If they were so bad I wonder why Jurgis is still staying there since he keeps moving jobs anyway and maybe he could find a better job on the way.

  3. Alyssa,

    Your responses are starting to contain less summary and more reaction. That is a good thing. Also, when you use a semi-colon be sure to not capitalize the letter of the first word after the semi-colon.
