__What some examples of the American Lie?__**

More working opportunities: For example Jurgis and his family struggled a lot to get a stable job. That they will be getting more money: Their economic situation did not improve a whole lot when they got to America. That there problems will be solved: More problems came like death and illness and economic problems. Jurgis and the whole family thought that they were going to have a better life, but nothing of that actually happened. -JuanKa

-they thought there was going to be more jobs for them: for example, they thought the jobs would be easy to find but they found out they had to wait almost everyday outside and wait till you were chosen -they thought they were going to win more money: for example, they thought that by moving to the united states they would win more money but later found out this was not true because they were nearly starving to death, Ona and Marija ended up being prostitutes for more money and they lost their home. -they thought the living conditions would be better: for example, they thought that their life would be better if they lived in the U.S. but this was not true. they found themselves in the edge of starvation and complete poverty. -they thought the working conditions would be good not like they were: for example, they worked in dirty unhealthy dangerous places in wich if something happened to you like if you DIED, theyd say they gave you the money and saw you leave so they had no blame. -kirsten

-You could lose your jobs for the most simple thing like complaining just like Marija did by asking for the money she didnt get, but had earned -Jobs were hard to find and easy to lose like Jurgis who after he got harmed in his accident lost his job and was very hard for him to keep the other jobs that he could find -Immigrants were easily manipulated and taken control of by other people like Ona when she became a prostitute be cause Connor made her -People took advantage of other peoples problems like sickness for example the woman that was going to deliver Onas baby whenshe asked for 25 dollars to do it which was an excesive amount of money in that time and still asking for it even though neither Ona and the baby survived -Victor Rheinboldt

__**How does the "Juggernaut of Greed" ruin people's lives?**__ - When Jurgis finds out about Connor raping Ona: He releases some kind of fury and force, he couldn't control himself so he beats up Connor. This is because of the Juggernaut of Greed, he feels he has a lot of forces, and thinks he is non-stopable. -Another example why the juggernaut of greed ruins peoples live in this book is when Marija starts being a prostitute. Still if she didn't what to do this kind of job, the juggernaut of greed gave her a push, because she knew she needed to do something no matter what to get money. -At the ending of the book when Jurgis sees a big opportunity to gain money, and realized he could take a lot of advantages is when he starts doing publicity for the communist. The juggernaut of greed made him feel or think that what he was going to start to do was a good thing!, and that he was going to get a lot of money by doing what everyone was doing, altough it was all lies.

Jorge Morales

-At the beggining of the book the jurggernaut of greed controled Jurgis when he found out that conner was raping Ona after work, he had to go do something really bad to hurt his as bad as that hurted him, and it ruined he life because he went to jail, and since then everything went wrong to him and he couldnt take care of his family like before the were lossin hope. Just because he couldnt hold his temper or he couldnt hold the Juggernaunt of Greed he had in that moment to kill Conner because of what he had done to Ona. - In this book Jurgis also had another Jurggernaut of Greed, when everything failed to him and he thought nothing was working and he had no way out he was hopeless, the Juggernaut of Greed bushed him to do bad stuff for money, he ave up hope for working so it made him steal and get his money un a none honest way, because of all the Juggernaut of greed he could help him self he wanted more money and that was the only way that he got it fast and without hurting himself. -Jurgis was not the only one that got the Juggernaunt of Greed, but also Elizbeta she was living an awful life and she really needed to sufvive, so al the jurggerant or greed for money and a better job, that she offered herself as a prostitute to earn more money that how bad her juggernaunt of greed inside of her was that made her do drastic thing to get it , no matter haw bad it maybe.

-When jurgis gets fooled by the bartender in the bar, he hand in the 100$ bill and the bartender gives back 15 cents of change, jurgis gets mad and he starts a fight with the bartender, then he is send to jail because the police came to stop the fight. -When jurgis finds Connor having sex with Ona, he gets enraged and started beating connor, this forced him to go to jail, and in part this ruined his life because after this event jurgis starts his life as a tramp. -Marija when she was working in the canning factory and she joined the union, the union co-members changed marija's way of thinking so she went to her boss and asked for a raise, this resulted in Marija getting fired, and the family struggling to pay the apartment bills.

-In the speech it said how people in Chicago and how the rich people controlled it all and thats what the socialism want to change and make the poor be in the same class of economy as the rich people. - Socialism wants to stop all of the indifference and it says that the rich people wouldn't make school or colleges with the money they win. and that the socialist side would try to make better the education. -Another appeal specially for Jurgis is that the socialism is the way he found a job in the hotel because the owner of the hotel was a socialist. he also found places to sleep that people offered him.

-To have a better life, because people like Jurgis needed a better life because of his confusion of thinking the way he thinked for the american dream. -There would be more advantage for the people who worked with Jurgis and for the people who surround him because of their way of life and they're economic situation. -That it helped Jurgis a lot in finding a descent job and a place to sleep on, it was a juge step on Jurgis after all what he had passed, it helped him because the owner was a big socialist. --GABRIEL VELASQUEZ--

-People think that they will get a job as soon as they get there. -People will treat them bad, because they came to the U.S. illegaly. -If they dont succede in a job they will be vary poor, I think that most people that immigrate to the U.S. dont succede and end up very poor. -Most immigrants feel disappointed and very sad, they most of the time think that they would be better back at where they lived before, because they thought they would get a job very easily in the U.S, but that is not true. -Education is very hard to get for an immigrant, because schools are very expensive in the U.S. -One of the most important things that a person must have is friends, most of the immigrants cant find to many friends just because they are immigrants. -Emilio Kafati-
 * __What are the struggles of an immigrant?__**

-People from other countries that go illegaly to the U.S.A know as immigrants think they will get a job immediately they get there. They look for the american dream like jurgis that got there and it was difficult for him to get the small home he has an the poor job he works in. -Because they are immigrantes is harder to get a job specially if they traveled illegaly. Jurgis was one of the victims. -Most immigrants are very exited to go there because they think they will live a better life an money but what they get is suffering, dissapointment, poverty and no money. -Many immigrants get to the U.S without knowing any english so its more difficult to get any friends, a job, home or anything they need. -The money is another problem for Jurgis especially doesnt manage it very well, he just spends his time at bars, eventhough he wins just a small amount because he is an immigrant. -David Canahuati-

-Workers cleaned their filthy hands in the clean water that was about to be used for the making of sausage -So many chemicals were used for the meat that people actually got sick and died -People died from complication from eating the meat because of the rotten and diseased meat they packed -If someone died while on the job they would just out the person on the side and the rest of the people would continue with their work - The whole work place environment is unhealthy and unsanitary -AnaValeria- **
 * __What are the shocking aspects of the meat packing industry?__**
 * -Meat would be socked in chemicals that would go down a drain and a week later they would be taken out & the drain cleaned.They would put the left overs and rotten meat with the rest of the meat.

- The workers would pack anything with the meat. That included, rats, lost fingers, blood, chemicals, diseased meat, or even chopped human bodies. -Downers( diseased cows, or pregnant ones) would be secretly mixed with the rest of the healthy cows. -The boss would fire anyone with no excuse at all. People's rights were not taken in consideration. Like when Ona's boss wouldn't give her some vacation after giving birth. Or when Jurgis was absent for a day or two and his boss wouldn't give him back his place. - The workers would die because of the cold, or the harmful environment and there was nothing they could do about it. For example, Dede Antanas dies of the cold weather along with another disease. Jurgis also got very weak in the factory, and every morning was a nightmare to him to get up and go to that sort of place. --Nicole Pina

-Smells in the meat packing industries are so bad that some workers faint. -In summer the heat is gross because the smells would increase and it would be worse. -In winter the cold is so bad that they get really sick and they lose their sense of their fingers and they ears freeze because the factories don't have heaters. -All the animal parts were used even the wastes and other parts that we usually discard. -Marija cut her hand working in one of those industries and she got infected and was really injured. --Isabella Atti--

__**What are the appeals of socialism?**__ Everyone has the same amount of rights, their are no differences, people receive the same amount of income. There will be no corruption since everyone is going to have the same amount of almost everything. Common ownership is a priority, the necessities of life would be a fundamental action. __**Diego Flores**__
