Sarah Higbee-Tindell

I chose to read The Jungle by upton Sinclair. While learning about the industrial revolution in America in 7th grade I had heard of the book, and it interested me. As of now I am about one fourth of the way through the book and am highly engrossed in the story. The struggles of immigrant families are facinating and tragic. It's inspiring to know that this piece of fiction sparked an investigation into and change of conditions and regulations in meatpacking factories in the U.S.

Sounds like a great book. Especially if it helped out working conditions for immigrant families. Since the immigrant families were treated so badly and were always given bad jobs with almost no pay. It's too bad it isn't a movie sounds like it would be a good one!
