Chapter 18

Prompt 1

      When Jurgis was finally released from jail, it was very tough for him. He was probably expecting it to go a lot better than it did. As he got out, he asked a boy for directions who decided to be a little brat and guide him away from it... And once Jurgis finally got back to his house, he discovered that his family must have been kicked out since they were gone and there was an Irish family moved in there instead. So, he eventually found them, and they were staying with Aniele. 

      Jurgis' arrival didn't seem to make his family too excited, really. They explained to him how they had been kicked out of the house since they had no money, and had been begging to stay alive. And then women from the house they were staying in gave Jurgis money to help him get a job. It was very rough for him to come back.
