In four sentences, describe what happens when Jurgis is injured on the job. How does Jurgis respond?

Answer:

When Jurgis is injured on the job, he first tries to ignore the pain and keep working. He eventually faints, and the company doctor sends him home, saying the injury will take months to heal. The company tells him it cannot be held responsible for his injury. Lying in bed at home, Jurgis worries about his family's future and, for the first time, thinks he might be defeated.
