Chapter 27 and 28 of The Jungle

Chapters 27 and 28 were horrible. Jurgis starts out very poor and is begging for a job. I thought that Jurgis was pretty much done, and Jurgis really couldn't go much longer. I really liked how Jurgis got a job, but it was a job Jurgis couldn't do because he was to weak. I thought it was horrible how Jurgis went from a strong, healthy man to a tramp! He goes to a political meeting, only to fall asleep and get dragged out by a cop. I thought it was good how Jurgis got some sleep during the speeches, but other people at the meeting did not want a person who sleeps at their meeting. I thought it was very interesting how he met an old friend who knew where everyone lived. I thought that it was a little glimmer of hope for Jurgis. Jurgis goes to Marija's place, and learns what happened to Stanislovas; reading about how Stanislovas was eaten alive just horrified me. When Jurgis gets to the address, he goes in to find Marija is a prostitute. I thought it was weird, but you do what you have to do to get money.
Chapter 28 begins in a courtroom where the girls and Jurgis were taken. I thought it was funny how nobody even recognized Jurgis as Conner's attacker. What was more interesting was how the woman in charge kidnapped girls and gave them drugs! I never thought somebody would do such a horrible thing. Jurgis then gets Elzbieta's address and is urged to go visit, but Jurgis decides not to because he feels ashamed after leaving them and not having a job. I would do the same because I lacked a job, and just left without my family even knowing. Instead of going to Teta's house, he goes to a socialist party meeting. I thought that it was great how Jurgis finally finds someone who has gone through what he has gone through.Concluding, these chapters went through Jurgis's desire for a job, and his life as a hobo.
