“Most fearful they are to contemplate, the expenses of this entertainment. They will certainly be over two hundred dollars and may be three hundred, and three hundred dollars is more than the year’s income of many a person in this room(Jungle).” I attached these photos to contrast the worried protagonist hiding behind the happy wedding scene and the audience leaving without paying. Many guests take advantage of the families of the newlyweds at these celebrations, however, filling themselves with food and drink and leaving without contributing any money. Some leave with open contempt while others sneak away. Bartenders even tricked their families into saying they consumed more than they were supposed to. When Ona notices that many guests are departing without paying, she gets concerned about the expense of the ceremony, but Jurgis assures her that they will find a way to pay the bill. He promises to just work harder and make more money.

The book Jungle is a book that criticizes capitalism at the time, and you can indirectly feel the corruption of people at the time just by looking at the wedding situation, the first introduction. So, I put the pleasant photos as the author intended, but I think it would be more fun to make a movie by maximizing the harsh reality and the situation of the wedding hall in contrast with the photos in reality. I think it would be more impressive to the people who watch my movie if I describe photos and situations that are opposite to the actual situation at the time and tell a story that reflects reality.
