An Unknown Language (Chapter 2)
When Jurgis and his family moved to America they went to go to Chicago because they new someone their. They came across some serious issues as to how to get their, the main one being that they don't know the language. The only word the knew in English was Chicago, which was enough for them to get to the city, but cost them a lot along the way. Once their they couldn't communicate, and wandered the streets till the police helped them, and found a translator. They continued to wander the streets until they found their friends, because they couldn't read the signs, and were excited to be able to speak to people once they did arrive at were their Lithuania Friends were.

Nice job explaining the issue of the language barrier and explaining what happened in this chapter. You also did a nice job explaining what it was like to not know what is going on around you because you don´t understand and everything is different.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you addressed the issues caused by not knowing their way around or how to communicate. Other people around them would realize that they were immigrants and most likely wouldn't have known how to help them or even wanted to help them. This would've caused more issues for the group as they attempted to make their way towards Chicago.
