ChaPTER. (LAST) 31

Comma
simicolen....
okay so in this chAPTEr Jurgis gets really excited to tell people about Soicalisum;he thinks its a big deal.i did like this chapter, just because it was really influenctal on how Jurgis thinks and sorta how we should think . i felt extremly sad when marji, Jurgis sister says that prostatution is always going to be in her life becasue she makes good money. i really think that this book was really good and Jurgis was a very easy going guy i really liked this book even thhough i compplained about it alot. i just dont like reading in general...which i wont do over break..becasue i want to do this enjoyable. kokay. so anyways. Jurgis makes me extremly happy about how he takes the news of his sister staying a Hoe. he doesnt drink or anything. i think that Jurgis went through a rough patch and i dont blame him America is hard. highschool is hard. life is hard and you just got to find a good way to release all the bad tention from the world.

the jungle....29-30..what evs.(:

Sentence; sentence
comma thingy.
normal..(:

chapter 29 was a very good sorta sum of what this book is about. they were talking about socialisum and stuff like that. i really didnt like this chapter; it bored me to death!!! although this book was really quite boring this was one of the boringest chapters i have read. i just wanted to get it over with. maybe its because he is a guy writer. and for some reason i get really board with men books. it seems like they are trying to way to prove something, i dont understand it more when they do that.
Chapter 30,
okay so in this chapter Jurgis goes back to his friend to see her. this makes me extremely happy; Jurgis trys to explain his point on socialisum.  Jurgis has a really soft personality in my opionion because all though so much has gone horrible in his life he trys to make the best of it and it makes me sad that no one can be brave enough to do this also, i want to be strong just like him(: so i like this chapter out of most of the chapters because he didnt judge Teta Elzbieta like most people would DO!!!(:

theeee..jungle. 27-28

JURGIS...wow. i honestly think he is never going to die; no matter what he does he skips death. 2 people die in this reading and somehow i dont feel as bad as i use to. i mean so many people die per chapter its just getting old and boring...no offence Upoin but your writing is really boring. so jurgis neices?....they turn into whores. and they sell there body for some cash money yo. this makes me really sad becasue they thought that was there last resort. which makes alot of since; jobs are tough to find these days. i feel bad that they alsp get hooked on drugs and get a whole bunch of other girls on drugs also. well even though at the end of the reading they get out of selling and stuff...they are still hooked on drugs..which is not surprising eithere just because drugs are very hard to get unhooked and obviously they arent just going to stop right away. but other then that nothing else stook out for me.

chapter...26.

okay. so in this chapter Jurgis keeps his job!!!!! jurgis makes $3.00 a day, which is not very good but he is okay with it.I think that this chapter really showed how Jurgis is changing; he is changing for the bad. i think that now that Jurgis fingered our how to make fast cash he will just do that rather then earn it. i think that AMerica has messed up there life and i feel bad for everyone that leves here now. this makes me want to move to a different country by the way everything is persived now. i feel bad for imagrants because like Garcia said, it was most of them but they were still being treated badly. i think that this book really describes how awful it is to lose your family and live in a country with comunisum...or socialisum...however you spell that. but all though Jurgis is turning to drinking..i think that in a sence that is good because he is finding a way to cope with it rather then going off and killing people; which im sure he might do in the future by the way the auther makes this book so predictable.!! (:

chapters 23- 26!!

okay so these chapters were a huge struggle for me to read because....hmmm..let me see i had surgery and i was on 5 different pain meds..so im sorry if any of this doesnt make since. so i guess Jurgis gets a job making tunnels..this made me feel pretty good because he has something to be a little happy about. these chapters were really boring. after jurgis went to jail i felt like this book is just stupid because it keeps repeating itself on everything. like honestly..could the stinken auther think of anything new? so i guess he go to jail for beating up someone...bIG surpirse!!! but other then that..i didnt get much from these chapters. i skiped around a couple times..skipped like 10 pages..but i read what i thought would make me want to read more. and honestly i feel like i shouldnt even bother with this book anymore. maybe its because i am so mad that i am stinken in so much pain and i wasted my time reading this book when i could of been sleeping so i could feel better...well. now i am going to go to bed becasue i am in so much pain and i am not going to go to school. so might as well comment on peoples writing now. peace. have a nice day by the way guys!

chapters 20-23

Chapter 20
okay so i really liked this chapter because there was a little hope but not to much. Jurgis finally finds a job and does something with his life. i mean i think he was very determined to work and He finds out that he is black listed by Conner. that stinken jerky turkey!!!

Chapter 21

 This chapter was awful!!! his son..the only kid he has drowns in the mud..i mean why didn't he do anything? i feel horrible for Jurgis because he now wants just a family and he doesn't have one now...oh my goodness!

Chapter 22

what i got out of this chapter is that he leave the town and works for food and money...i cant believe in one night he spends it on women!!!!!!! what a playa playa.i was amazed...but this just shows he misses ona!! poor Jurgis! if i was in this book heck yes i could help him out....Not sexually..but to be a friend!

Chapter 23

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY?!!!?!?!?? he goes into a church thing to stay warm...i mean thats soooooo smart but he is just crazy..he needs to stay put and just work. it seems like Jurgis turns into a workalolic! !! (:.

My blog for thanksgiving(:

i really liked how this reading was very interesting and full of life. sure i got board but i still enjoyed reading for once. i had a hard time understanding why they stayed in America after all the stuff they have been threw..i would of left for sure(: and oh my goodness!!!! how Jurgis wife got raped..that was so awful!! if i was him i would of completely done the same thing...i mean that is your wife and you want the person you are doing it with to only have it with you and not another person. that's why i completely agree with how he went by it.. but Jurgis shouldn't of went to jail! i mean that stupid boss guy deserved what he got. i feel bad for there family. it seems like every time things are going good they turn around and go awful!!! i wish that they will just go back, i would and i would never put up with the type of stuff America has brought to the table!

go ask Alice(:

Today I am reading go ask Alice. This was a good book. But it’s really just introducing her and her likes. She has a boy that she likes name roger. Roger rejects her one day and she is wondering why everyone thinks its okay to hurt her feelings. I feel extremely sorry for her because she is hooked on drugs. This makes me sad because I know many people who are hooked on drugs and it really hurts me inside because there wasting there life away. This also makes me sad because she believes it’s her only escape out of the world. My reaction to this book is that she is a very lonely girl. I used to be like her, well I wasn’t hooked on drugs but I use to be extremely sad and depressed. I too bought a book to write down all of my thoughts to make sure I got everything I needed to say out without hurting anyone’s feelings. I think that Alice is a very wise girl. Except that she is hooked on many drugs…well to be truthful I haven’t got to there yet. I heard about it and I really needed to get it out that I know that information. too sound smart(: I think that Alice is very young talented lady and it makes me wonder if anyone could just be hooked on drugs without thinking about it. I feel sorry that roger rejected her because I reject drew all the time just for fun and now I feel bad because I know how he feels now even though he tells me that he doesn’t like it every other day.

pages 41-72(: THE JUNGLE(:

in this chapter we find out that the sick animal meat and the healthy animal meat is put into the same thing and so you never find out weather or not it is safe. suppose ably a worker comes in and check all the meat once a month..but honestly a lot of bad meat could be put out within even a week. this really grossed me out and so i sorta stop halfway through because i was so disgusted with how they treat there meat. i mean this could kill many people by just being around it.
1. why wouldn't they just throw away the bad meat?
2. does anyone from the factory eat the meat they are putting out?
3. how does putting bad meat into good meat solve anything?
4.why would the he bring in his family to see this nastiness?
5. i understand why no one likes there job and complains.

this blog..

my topic is whether or not someone changes when they own a slave. In my opinion I think they do because after you treat humans like that you forget how to treat people you consider human. i think that my central argument is that humans shouldn't own other humans and treat them that way. When you treat someone so awful you get use to it and you lose that since of being a person.  At first you feel bad but then you get use to it. like If you Argue with your parents. at first you feel bad and don't want to do it again and then the second time you start liking it and after awhile you get use to it and don't feel bad and just think of it as a way of life. this doesn't make it okay nor does it make life better for either one. I feel like if you own a slave the first one would maybe be treated better then the last ones. You don't think anything of it until someone tells you its wrong and gives you reasons why its wrong and  kind of brings you back to how you should truly treat people.

Question and coments on the end(:

oh my goodness this reading was a really great one. what i got out of the ending was that Douglas is free and he gets married. I found this very amazing because marraige is a great thing to me and i love how people get married and just start a new life with others(:
Question: who is anna? is she his wife?
comment. i am proud of them(:

questions and comments....

Question: why is everyone else paid but those 4?
Comment: Mr. Freeland is a really Respectable guy(:
Question: Why didnt Douglass think of this earlyer?!
Comment: i was really upset when all of them got caught and were sent to jail to be judged but guys mean masters
Question: What is Douglass going to do with his life?
Comment: how much is a doller fifty now-a-days?

REsponse to reading up to page (52)***%#*#(@_)#()$%&@#)%&_

on page 45 Douglass talks about getting freedom. He tells his fellow slaves because he believes that they are one and if one does one thing the others do the same in the same way. he has developed a strong trust with them and i really like that because now Douglass is starting to make friends and having somewhat of a family. this makes me want to jump up for joy because he trust those people. He also mentions that Mr. Freeland is the best slave master he has ever had. besides himself. this makes me think is he going to be free someday?! i really hope so. he also talks about learning to read more which is good because i am lucky to have an education and many take that for granite sometimes because they are so use to it. i really like how this chapter went. Douglass forges a letter saying that they are free to go to Maryland for the holidays. oh my gosh(:  that makes me so proud! he is making something of his life. but they got caught and had to go to jail. all of them got separated. this made me really sad because Douglass really wanted a family you could just tell and with them not around anymore it hurt him really bad. being in jail for almost 4 years would hurt me really bad and i couldn't live with myself. i really am starting to not like this whole reading just because of the sadness it is putting on me. But when Douglass got out of jail he got a job and it pays him for his work. although this made me sad that he has no one he is now getting money for his work and not treated so much like a salve now.

response

i really liked this reading because i felt like i could read on for days. in chapter 9 it made me feel like i was in there like i was DOuglas and i was being treated like that. i makes me sad about the grandma and how she had to die alone. i makes me think am i going to die alone?
in chapter 10 i really dont like how douglas in treated. it makes me really upset that he has to work all the time all day. i would sleep also all day if i had onl one day off. i wish he would just run away already. i mean he has dates now(:
in the last chapter. it made me sooooo shocked. i couldnt believe douglas had stode up for himself against his master. but then again the master seemed like a baby and he couldnt control his slaves. this really was a great chapter to me because douglas reminds me of myself in a sence and he stood up and made me pround!! keep it up doug(:

Chappterssssssss 8,9, and 10 of course(:

Chapter 8

Question: who would Andrews leave his stuff to?

Comment: I dont understand how the masters can be so mean to someone after they make so much money for them.

Chapter 9

Question: why do the masters wives change there heart after time?

Comment: I really like how Douglas is still trying to learn to read and get smarter.

Chapter 10

Question: whats the point to Mr. Covey to send Douglas to get wood?

Response TOOO Chapters 5,6,7(:

The 5th chapter really stood out to me because he was talking about how he was really excited about moving to a different place. I feel bad for Douglas because if moving to a better place is the best thing that's ever happened to you your life must really stink. but I also feel very honored to be living the life i am living right now because i get a lot more freedom them him and all of the slaves. This chapter really mad me upset that moving to a different slave camp is his high light of his life. but also now he gets a pretty easy job(watching little Tomas)
in Chapter 6 Douglas starts talking about all of the rest of the slaves in the other houses. He mentions that Mary was whipped everyday and her neck and head. this really hurt my feelings because how could anyone have the heart to abuse another person and feel like they have complete power over someone? i am very happy that Douglas is starting to read and be educated but i feel awful about the other slaves who will never see that kindness for many years to come.

in Chapter 7. Douglas starts talking about how he is a slave for life and this really puts him into a deep depression. I have a connection with I'm because i suffer from depression and have been in his same shoes. I really like how everyone is mean to him but he still cares for them and gives them the kindness everyone deserves. When he helped the Irish men it just shows that he wants to be a good person. Good for the Irish to try to give him an idea to escape. I am glad he finally learns how to write because without him knowing how to write i would probably most definitely not be reading his story right now.

My reaction with the Ship amistad

I think that this was a very sad movie because everything looked so real and made me want to think about how i would treat Africans back then. Obviously better then they are doing right now because i have great friends that are African and they are just like everyone else. i dont think anyone should be judged by there color or race. I am very upset that people back then would do something like this just for money. that shows greed and it makes me want to find all the greedy people and have a long talk with them about this whole thing. i would jump off the ship if i was crazy. i always have a little hope in me and so i would try to work it out. when we would get to america i would try my hardest to excape. i wouldnt just give up like that. But i completely understand why most did; they were there for months and months they probably gave up hope a long time ago. if i was on the ship with my baby i would try to keep it alive. or i would throw it off the ship. i wouldnt want my child to live in slavery so whatever i did i would put my child first.

My reaction to Chapter2-4

I was very upset when i was reading about the living condictions the slaves had to go through. it made me want to go back in time and save all of those people. one of the things he had said that he lives without any clothes when the cold comes they are so cold that some die. I dont understand how anyone can watch another person live like that and not help them. no wonder there was an underground railroad. I really liked this story though. just because Fredrick put it in his own words and made it seem more real because it was real of course but it gave a since of i was there. i really liked how i could connect with him and the slaves.

Merrisa. reaction to chapter one.

i didn't like chapter one at all because it was really sad and i didn't understand how anyone could be so mean to anyone like that. seeing someone get beaten like that would be to traumatizing. i honor everyone who were a slave at one point of there life and i feel very sorry to them that they had to deal with this like that just because of the color of there skin. i wish that back in the day you could be whoever you wanted to be without any one telling you if it was wrong or not. i really want to go back in time and help some of those people that were suffering like that. this story really stood out to me because of the way he described his own life. he didn't complain about anything nor did he say that something was ever wrong. he told what he saw and didn't make it seem like it was worse then it already was.
