In the early 1900’s life for America’s new Chicago immigrant workers in the meat packing industry was explored by Upton Sinclair’s novel The Jungle. Originally published in 1904 as a serial piece in the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason‚ Sinclair’s novel was initially found too graphic and shocking by publishing firms and therefore was not published in its complete form until 1906. In this paper‚ I will focus on the challenges faced by a newly immigrated worker and on what I feel Sinclair’s

the literary works we have discussed in class are so distinctive from each other‚ yet so similar. In "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "The Beast in the Jungle" we see how symbols are used to portray and dramatize the theme of the story. We also learned how women were treated‚ or "expected" to act‚ in works such as "The Yellow Wallpaper"‚ "The Beast in the Jungle"‚ and "My Contraband"‚ which then leads to the subject of miscegenation. We also see miscegenation used in most of Chesnutt’s works and in "Desiree’s

The Jungle written by Upton Sinclair was published in 1906. It exposed the meat factories and this novel alone‚ changed how the meats were handled and produced. Upton Sinclair exposed how terrible meat factories were.

Without the efforts of Sinclair‚ America would have slowly crumbled due to unsanitary meat and the diseases that it holds‚ and
