.... It was a place of bustle, clutter, smells, disrepair, and dust, or in much of the year mud. It was far from silent! Every village had a lord, but only rarely was he in residence.

He checks on his sons and informs Edna that Raul seems to have a fever. She replies that the child was fine earlier, and he criticizes her lack of motherly concern. After a cursory .....

.... part it is historically accurate, as it tells the life of a man who works in a realistic meat packing setting. Because it is fictional, though, it probably would not be much of an aid to a historical researcher. The novel itself, containing over Three hundred pages, is rather long and tediously boring. Sinclair’s central purpose in writing The Jungle was to persuade people to join the socialist party and to adopt the view that socialism is the only way to conquer the capitalistic empires that abuse the working class.

.... gradual deterioration clearly leads to the reader’s understanding of the dangers of illusion. In fact, even before the appearance of the main character, the prevalence of this theme can already be noticed in the first scene, through the obscure and deranging apparition of the three witches. In effect, the three “Weird Sisters” are the generators of Macbeth’s illusions, and it can already be seen that the source of these predictions cannot be entrusted. More specifically, we first see the witches preparing “to meet Ma .....

.... beast that always cam to him could be a bully. That could in fact be the real meaning. The child at the screen door might just be a metaphor and what the child is really doing is calling for someone to help him because he is ill. But yet all he does is become peace-fully sicker. And the mom is praying for him to get better and hopes that one day true health will come back to this youth. Or in shorter terms, The Gift of life.

The C.B.’s daughter is an inept character who gets dragged across the desert by her horse “Wildfire”, only to be saved by Rex O’ Herolan. In that particular scene, she attempts to seduce Rex by flirting and e .....

.... so much more. Robin had a tough time coping with it. Others helped him while he was docked, but when he was out on the ocean, he was all alone.

.... animals of the farm for the first time. The animals find out that the milk and apples are given solely to the pigs, and Squealer is sent to explain the uneven distribution of farm resources. “‘Comrades’ he cried. ‘You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege?’” (Orwell 42) He goes on to explain, “ ‘Milk and apples (this has been proved by science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers (42). H .....
