Jungle Cubs

I am well known because of my novel “The Jungle”. Why did you wrote The Jungle? The working conditions in the past was not good at all. Just to expose (or you can say) highlight the terrible working conditions in the meatpacking industry. I wanted to show the life that immigrants lives in America. They were willing to work for low wages, and longer hours, despite all that they were still mistreated. What was the issue that you discuss in The Jungle? Well, I talked about

Upton Sinclair was not only an activist; he was a journalist, a politician, and a writer. Born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 20, 1878, to father Upton Beall Sinclair Sr. and mother Priscilla Harden Sinclair, Sinclair Jr. was a creative child.

The major issues Sinclair addressed in The Jungle are Capitalism. The explosive growth of American industry in the late nineteenth century caused a similar expansion in the work force. Working conditions in the new urban industrial zones were wretched, and a progressive reform movement soon grew out of the need to address the health and welfare of the American worker. In 1905, Upton Sinclair (1878–1968), a young socialist journalist and novelist, received a $500 advance to write a novel about abuses

among the working class. This made him the perfect candidate to go undercover to investigate conditions in the Chicago stockyards in 1905. This seven-week investigation was published in the socialist weekly Appeal to Reason, and later as the novel The Jungle in 1906. Sinclair intended that the novel would create a public outcry against big business in favor of the exploited and poorly treated immigrant workers in the meatpacking industry. However, the novel had the unintended effect of helping bring

Upton Sinclair published his novel, The Jungle, in 1906 using elements of naturalistic fiction, with the idea that ordinary people cannot overcome the system, to convey his political agenda. He did this by writing about a fictional family that comes to Chicago from Lithuania with the promise of guaranteed work where they “might earn three roubles a day” and be “rich m[en] in the bargain” (Sinclair 24-25). He used the meatpacking industry to show the extreme affects a large scale industry can have

THERE'S A RAT IN THE COMPANY America was built on lies and lost lives, the backs of the downtrodden covered in the footprints of the fortunate. While the wealthy 1% lived in luxury, the impoverished 15% lived in waste and ruin; rundown houses, sewers, abandoned cellars, the underneaths of bridges and overpasses-- the poorest of the poor had to be happy with even the most awful of accommodations, taking what they could get and struggling to hold on to it.

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.

During the Progressive Era, Sinclair wanted to improve society somehow and to open the people's eyes about what was really going on, this is called muckraking. He wrote about problems that the working society went through year round and somehow described them nastier. The main character in the book is Jurgis Rudkus and he is from the Lithuanian countryside

In the book The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, the author shows the way immigrants were treated in America and how terrible it was. Before most immigrants came, they believed that they can make it in the new world. In America, they could get a new job, be free from religious prosecution, get a house, and live a happy life.
