Read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and write a short but thoughtful paper with examples from the book while answering the following questions:
• Analyze whether or not Sinclair favors laissez-faire economics. Consider both aspects of the book: the story of an immigrant laborer and the exposure of the meatpacking industry. Use examples or quotes from the story to prove your point.
• Sinclair describes the workers’ existence as “part of the machine.” What does he mean by this? Who is affected the most?
• Is Jurgis’s experience in Chicago typical of immigrant laborers today? Why or why not? Make sure to have an introduction that summarizes the book and a meaningful conclusion that
contains your personal analysis or opinion.
Connect the three tasks together with transitions.
Please type your paper in 12-point Times New Roman (or similar) font.
