The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair



After having read The Jungle over the summer (or perhaps the past week) I'm very interested in hearing your reactions to it.  We will begin the year by having a class discussion on Summer Reading work that you have completed.

But before we do, I'd like to get the conversation started here on your reactions to the novel.  Comment on at least one of the following questions: What was the most important or most memorable scene to you?  What meaning or message is Sinclair trying to portray in The Jungle? Is the story effective, realistic, or reliable?

You are required to make ONE comment of your own and to write ONE reply to another person's comment.

Remember, once you post and do the minimum, don't hesitate to check in again to see reactions to your post, and or to post again in some fashion.
