The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back (Chapter 15)

The workers are constantly getting abused. The bosses and people who own the mills don't care one bit about their workers. They have abused Jurgis and their family in the work place, and in this chapter we found out about more horrible crimes. Ona's boss has sexually abused her, and Jurgis was enraged. Ona feared saying anything because she new Jurgis would kill him, and be in jail cause of it, as well as that the boss would make it so they couldn't have jobs. He attacked the boss and end's up being arrested. I honestly can't blame Jurgis because my actions would be the same if this happened to my family.
