    Nice summary of the chapter and hitting on the points of what happened. You did a great job explaining Jurgis's feelings and the struggles in which the family continued to go through.

    You touched on all three prompts a little. It was very vague as to what happened in those.

    Being able to find a job was very difficult for Jurgis since he had been blacklisted. It was absolutely devastating for him when he found out that the factory would be shutting down and he wouldn't get to work there after all.
