Prompt 1
As Jurgis met Elzbieta again, she was pretty skeptical. But after they had talked for a while. she was convinced he was still sane. Since Jurgis was still without a job, we went wandering around the city again. He ran into a small hotel, so he went in to see if there were any job openings; so he went up to the proprietor, and there was a job opening as a porter. It paid $30/month plus board.
Jurgis' job wasn't only being a porter, however. He was also a speaker for socialism. His boss, Tommy Hinds, was very big on socialism. So he would strike up a political conversation with someone in the lobby, which, in turn, caused others to listen in on the conversation. It seems as if many people who came to the little hotel weren't really looking for a place to stay, but to come to the little 'rallies' in the hotel.
I found that his new job was interesting. I didn't think he would do something like that.
