Chapterss 23-26

Theses chapters had a lot of ups and downs. At first there was all mostly downs by him breaking his arm and having to spend christmas alone. Then he got out of the hospital and had to go find a job in the freezing weather that was worse than ever. That was pretty sad because he just went through all that and now had to go through this. Then to make it all worse he had to fight for little food and a place to sleep. But then Fredrick a rich guy came along and invited him to his house and gave him food and a 100 dollar bill. I thought this was very good because now maybe he could get on the right track. Since nothing in this book turns good he had to go get change for his money and they gave him 95 cents back from 5 cents purchase out of 100 dollars and Jurgis beat the guy up and went to jail. This was horrible because no one believes Jurgis again and he has to spend 10 days in jail. After he was out of jail he got into some bag stuff by mugging people which was bad. But it was good when Jurgis found a job as a hog trimmer, and he even got regular pay which was also good to hear. Maybe he can get enough money to live somewhere nice and not spend all his money at the saloon all the time and waste it away.
