Today we read about Bubble Creek, a place where people and chickens can accidentally WALK without knowing they are on sludge. The creek bubbles because of the chemical reactions taking place under the surface. Using the situation for their own good, as usual, the meat packers chose to scrape the sludge off the creek to sell as lard to the public. Money happily exchanged, the citizens of Chicago would unknowingly purchase dangerous chemicals for use in their everyday cooking. Through all this, the meat packers grew richer daily, while the common man struggled for his every breath.
(FYI - I used brush stroke sentences for that entire paragraph. Respond with a brush stroke, also having to do with The Jungle, and I will give you a homework pass. This offer expires Friday, April 29.) -Miss White
