Major— usually tragic— events that occur in the story serve as catalysts for Jurgis's dramatic, almost upsetting, transformations.

Now with all the information gathered, about the time of the Jungle Book, it can be determined whether or not , the movie is truly racist or not. In the beginning of the movie we are shown that the Indians' are working for the British men. A little boy Mowgli and a little girl Kitty are childhood friends. That is probably a representation of the beginning of the British-Indian relationship. After Sheer-Khan ( the tiger) destroyed the camp, the star of the movie Mowgli is separated from the rest.

They say, "A book is a device to ignite the imagination" and when I first saw your "Suggestions to Get You Started Reading" list, I knew The Jungle was going to be that spark. Reading The Jungle had been on my to-do list ever since I successfully completed the most vigorous course Schalick High School has to offer: AP US History. From what I learned, Sinclair was a muckraker who sought to reform society from social ills through his exposes. Consequently, The Jungle became a catalyst for cleaner, safer food production. Nonetheless, after completing Sinclair's novel, it was evident that Sinclair's purpose was not to criticize the condition of the meat in the slaughterhouses. Instead, The Jungle was written to condemn, what Sinclair thought to be, two social ills of

New agencies were established as a role of the government's responsibility to its citizens and one of those agencies was the Food and Drug Association. The Food and Drug Association origins could be traced back to the creation of the Agricultural Division in the Patent Office in 1848. The FDA federal consumer protection agency began when the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act was passed. This law was aimed to end serious abuses in the consumer product marketplace. This agency was strongly advocated by Harvey Washington Wiley and the act was passed because of his efforts and Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle".

The Jungle was a social criticism novel written by Upton Sinclair in 1905 to 1906. The novel was very touching, it showed the hardship of living in America and false hope that it gave to the incoming immigrants. It was an eye opener to not only what immigrants endure trying to better life for their families, but it showed that everything came go from bad to worse quickly.

The Jungle is the story of a man named Jurgis Rudkus and his family, who is forced to face hardship and hardship working in meatpacking plants as they limp towards the “American dream”; a dream that was quickly crushed after their immigration from Lithuania to Chicago.

It’s a Monday in early July and I am involved in what every fifteen-year-old kid wants to be doing with their summer: summer school. My teacher walks in with a slightly tanner skin, a coffee, and he has his sunglasses still on. He ambles to the front of the class and sets a few books down. After taking a few moments to collect himself, he looks up from the books and says, “Okay, class, today you are going to have the choice of what you want to do. You can read your summer reading book or pick from one of these.” I did not have the assigned book at that time, so I got up to see the selections that my teacher laid out. None of the novels caught my eye, even after reading the back cover. I decided to just take a random book and make it look like I was reading, not that my teacher—who looked like he was sleeping—was going to care. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was the lucky book of the day, but I never would have thought that I was the lucky one for having chosen it that day.

Important topics like immigration, working conditions and sanitation issues of the time were all addressed well in the novel.

It is amazing how a seemingly educated woman that has won Oscar awards for her documentaries, could possibly be so far off base in her review of the Disney movie “The Lion King”. Margaret Lazarus has taken a movie made for the entertainment of children and turned it into something that is racist, sexist and stereotypes gender roles. She uses many personal arguments to review the movie but offers few solutions. The author is well organized but she lacks alternate points of view and does not use adequate sources. Lazarus utilizes the statement at the end of her review that “the Disney Magic entranced her children, but they and millions of other children were given hidden messages that could only do them and us harm” (118). She makes her
