The end of the book-pages 300-500

Technically, I was supposed to read 100 pages per week but the suspense was killing me so I read an extra hundred. In these pages a lot of things happen. Education was held high in the family. Education meant power. It was something that the Nolan family needed so they could rise and become wealthy. Throughout most of the story the Nolan family was poor, but when Neeley and Francie were properly educated all their money worries were handled. Francie was working as an editor in a newspaper company(I forgot the name) making 20 dollars per week, and Neeley was working various low paying jobs making 5 -10 dollars per week. Before the children got their working papers, Johnny Nolan (their father) died of pnemonia. Also their mother got pregnant with another baby before Johnny died, but they didn't have to worry about making ends meet with Francie's income. Also Sissy, who is Francie's aunt got married and "had a baby". This baby wasn't obviously her's because she had a steak of having miscarriages - 11 to be exact. She sort of adopted the baby and proclaimed that it was her own baby even though her belly was as flat as a pancake. Later on, Katie remarries to McShane, who is this police sergeant who makes 10,000 dollars per year. This meant that once the Nolans were very poor making a couple of dollars a day and in the futrue they were one of the riches families in Brooklyn.
