Upton Sinclair and The Jungle
Sinclair's book had an impact on American society that few others have had. This certainly gives you a look at the less pleasant side of early 20th century America. While it was a time of optimism, excitement, and comfort for many, there were clearly those whose experience was quite the opposite. What are your reactions to the video clip?

I'm so glad he wrote that book because it would be very hard for me to eat meat if i found a piece of a finger in it once. Do you think that if Upton Sinclair hadn't wrote the Jungle we would still find fingers and other stuff in our meat today?

The way these workers in the factories worked was atrocious, and it is sad to think it ever happened. Luckily, it isn't happening currently, although in some jobs, working conditions could be better.*cough guided towers cough*
