Today we talked about Upton Sinclair's famous novel, The Jungle.
*Muckrakers *The Progressive Era (which I don't see as progressive) *Factory conditions in meat packing industry *Upton Sinclair's purpose for writing this book *Banned and censored books *An article that Sinclair write to the NYTimes regarding the "disappearance" of his book from libraries in Chicago & St. Louis, two huge meat packing cities (CLICK HERE to read the article. Very interesting.) Think about THIS: Sinclair CHANGED EVERYTHING with a book. Hmm. What kind of power is that?? -Mrs. Coller
