The Scab (Chapter 26)
Jurgis's job is now to help the packing plants keep running. When a strike happens Jurgis goes to Mike Scully and asks what he should do. Scully tells him to keep working, and that he needs to wait for another political position because he is now known as a Republican. Jurgis eventually gets promoted. During the strike Jurgis can't leave the yards, so food, beer, and prostitutes are brought in. Jurgis goes to sleep with one of the prostitutes and runs into Connor again. He attacks Connor, but Connor is high on mike Scullies list of helpers. The pay Jurgis' bail, but take his money to do so, and tell him to leave town.

NICE JOB SUMMING IT UP AND REALLY EXPLAINING WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER. FANTASTIC JOB!!!
ReplyDeleteThis chapter was somewhat of a reflection of how when Jurgis makes a poor decision, he usually ends up getting in a lot of trouble for it. This has happened to Jurgis a few times now, and it would appear that this is a consistent trend that will most likely continue to happen to Jurgis.
