The Jungle Chapters 21-23

All seemed to being going well in Jurgis' life for once, and like Mr. J had put it, another tragedy came too conveniently. When the streets flooded after a long rain, his child fell in and drown to death. This was probably the worst thing that has happened so far in the story I think, and its really horrible. Jurgis saw the body, and walked until he was out of packing town and in the country. He then became a "tramp" and started living life happier, and at this point it was going well for Jurgis, which only means something bad is going to happen.
Questions:
1) Since Marija could not stop Antanas from going outside, why did she not go out with him and supervise?
2) Where are Mariga and Elzbeta now?
3) Why did the family not move out to the country sooner?

  1. Garret, Garret, Garret. I'm sorry to say this but i expect more from you. Your blog showed what you thought was going to happen next, but you didn't express your feelings about the reading. One suggestion i would make is to go and look at your first blog. I felt like you really blogged to your best ability then and i would like to see that intensity again.
