“With what had been

told them by Jonas, who had worked in the pickle rooms, they could

now study the whole of the spoiled-meat industry on the inside, and read

a new and grim meaning into that old Packingtown jest.”

“With one member trimming beef in a cannery, and another working in a

sausage factory, the family had a first-hand knowledge of the great

majority of Packingtown swindles.”

were so numbed that they did not even suffer much from hunger, now;

only the children continued to fret when the food ran short.”

“if he, Jurgis, had known what a woman was like, he would have had his eyes torn out first. So he would carry on, becoming half hysterical himself, which was an unbearable thing to see in a big man.”

“They were beaten; they had lost the game, they were swept aside. It was not less tragic because it was so sordid, because it had to do with wages and grocery bills and rents.”

“and how cruelly certain it was that they could never stand six years of such a life as they were living! They were lost, they were going down—and there was no deliverance for them, no hope” (Page 4).

“in spite of this,

there would be hams found spoiled, some of them with an odor so bad

that a man could hardly bear to be in the room with them.”

“So he would carry on, becoming half hysterical himself, which was an unbearable thing to see in a big man; Ona would pull herself together and fling herself into his arms, begging him to stop, to be still, that she would be better, it would be all right. So she would lie and sob out her grief upon his shoulder, while he gazed at her, as helpless as a wounded animal, the target of unseen enemies.” (Sinclair 8)

I have trust for the author with how emotionally appealing he makes the characters, relatability. "It was a battle that had no end, that never could have one. But Jurgis did not realize that very clearly; he was not given much time for reflection. He simply knew that he was always fighting. Steeped in misery and despair as he was, merely to walk down the street was to be put upon the rack." - alora

“Now and then Kotrina would find

time to sob over his woes, but for the greater part of the time he had to

be left alone”

He simply knew that he was always fighting. Steeped in misery and despair as he was, merely to walk down the street was to be put upon the rack. There was surely a saloon on the corner—perhaps on all four corners, and some in the middle of the block as well; and each one stretched out a hand to him each one had a personality of its own, allurements unlike any other. Going and coming—before sunrise and after dark—there was warmth and a glow of light, and the steam of hot food and perhaps music, or a friendly face, and a word of good cheer.

afterward, because there was only their misery to talk of, they would

crawl into bed and fall into a stupor and never stir“ - Jalyn

“ Jonas had told them how the meat that was taken out of the pickle would often be sour and how they rub it up with soda to take with us now and sell it to be on free-lunch counters.”

“There was never the least attention paid to what was cut up for sausage; there would come all the way back from Europe old sausage that had been rejected, and that was moldy and white—it would be dosed with borax and glycerine, and dumped into the hoppers, and made over again for home consumption.”

“He would begin to speak of them as brothers, as though they were men like himself, who had been caught in some hideous trap, whom the work was starving to death for his own convenience.” Chapter 14 page 129.
