In Chapter 2, the author sets up a back story that explains some of the experiences Jurgis had before and after he met Ona and her family. The chapter also went over some of the factors that took place for Jurgis while he was coming to the United States as an immigrant. From seeing how difficult it was for Jurgis to adjust to the new environment he was going to be living in, I'm sure that it would be difficult for me, as well as anyone else in the same situation as Jurgis.
When Jurgis and Ona arrived in the U.S. they met up a friend who was from Lithuania, Jokubas Szedvilas, who brought them to Mrs. Jukniene who owned a filthy boarding house. Even though the family wan't in the best situation, they hoped that their situation would be temporary.
