Journal Entry Four
The Jungle by Uptin Sinclair

The climax of the novel is when Jurigus becomes a part of the socialist party. The major problems are solved by jurgis getting a new job and becoming a socialist. The minor prolems are solved by Jurgis going to see marjia and Teta Elizabeta. What helped to resolve the plot was Jurgis getting a job, from a socialist, as a porter at Hinds Hotel. Seeing Marjia and Teta Elizabeta also helped resolve the plot. The message I got from the novel is life is tough, but you can always improve your life. This is conveyed through the story because horrible things happened to Jurgis, but in the end he got his life back on track. He became a socialist and discovered a new happier life. The main characters were round because they all showed many emotions, and they showed many sides of themselves. I was very dissapointed with the end of the novel because nothing was really resolved. The end was very confusing too. The way the book ended left you hanging, and confused. The novel is believable beacuse the book was about the hard times in life, the problems of finding a job, and the government. I would not recomend this novel to a friend. This novel is very hard to understand, and half way through the book you loose intrest. The novel did not meet my expectations because I had read reviews of it, and everyone said it was a very moving book. I thought the book was kind of boring. What I liked most about this novel were the characters they were all very different, and they were all odd. The thing i liked least about this novel was the style of writing. I did not like the style of writing because the whole book was dreary and depressing. The writing also ade the book pretty hard to follow.
