美國 10 - 12 年級
Come join us in reading Upton Sinclar's most famous novel, The Jungle. No one has written quite as many novels as Sinclair. He is the most prolific novelist in American history, averaging a book a year for every year he was alive: 90. But none stand out as significant and impactful as much as The Jungle. The Jungle exposes many societal issues through the story of a Lithuanian immigrant family working in Chicago's meatpacking industry. His work exposed the struggles and unhuman treatment of those working in some of Chicago's toughest working industries. In fact, it resulted in the direct change of the food industry when people realized just how unsafe and inhuman things really are. Congress developed the Pure Food and Drug Act to protect people from these unsafe conditions. But Sinclair, whose work remains relevant today, set out to accomplish something a little different - he set out to show the world it's about more than the food... it's about the man. The human experience. The struggles and the heart. To accomplish this, he hit the stomach.

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
The Jungle does involve fictional representations of historical events and societal problems. It can be grim and gross at times with descriptions of violence and food safety violations designed to turn the stomach. Students are encouraged to take breaks from these descriptions and to speak up about these realities. In class, we will discuss the purpose of the honesty in the text, but please reach out if you have any questions!
供應清單
Students will need their own copies of The Jungle that they will need to bring to class with them every day.
