Zachary Laranang Response to Kirsten Huffer's The Jungle post

Kirsten Huffer's post on The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, was informative and interesting. I had heard of The Jungle before, and knew what it was about, but after reading Kirsten's post, I now have a much better idea of what kind of themes and ideas are contained within the novel, as well as of the general plot. The fact that this book sparked major reforms in the meatpacking industry by harshly depicting its disgusting conditions really makes me want to read it to see what all the fuss is about. Overall, it was a good, informative post.
