The Jungle pages 1-50
Upton Sinclair really knows how to appeal to those who love detail in the books, and I bet even those who don't. To me it seems as if she puts a description on every noun. The book starts off with a wedding, between am extremely young women, Ona Lukoszaite, who is is not even sixteen and a strong man, Jurgis Rudkus. At the dinner there are musicians playing, one of them happens to be incredible, and Sinclair goes into such detail describing these men that are so far only in this one chapter. Now, this wedding with the musicians and everything may sound great, but there are problems, Jurges does not have a job and needs one to support him and Ona. With help from a friend Jurgis get a job in the stockyards. Throughout this chapter Sinclair continue to great detial to decribe all of the jobs in the stockyard. That is the end of this part of the story, pages 50-100 is coming soon so watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!
