This excerpt from Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle details the terribly unsanitary and gruesome conditions of factories for meat, pickling, and fertilizer. A particularly disgusting line that stood out to me was the last line of the excerpt: “[the men] fell into the vats; and when they were fished out, there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting...all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard!” Death in these factories were common, and injuries inevitable; and though Sinclair’s intent was to shock readers with this statistic, they focused more on what went into their meat rather than those who made it.

This article describes the environment some children were found working in as coal breakers. They would sort through sharp rocks, usually getting bruises and cuts on their hands in a dark and dreary building that wasn't safe. A part that really hit me with the reality of these terrible conditions was, "a boy is mangled and torn in the machinery, or disappears in the chute to be picked out later smothered and dead".

This article is basically describing that politics is business and that the "big business man" is the is the chief source of corruption. This then leads to the idea that the  "typical business man" has no time for politics. This leads to the concept that if you weren't a big business man that could afford to pay the government to do certain things, you were neglected. One idea that stood out to me was that "art, literature, religion, journalism, law, medicine, -- they're all business" which relates to the earlier concept of "politics is business" meaning that all of these items that were just listed have a political side to them as well. This all essentially means that every career and group in the country is influenced and controlled by politics and business which leads to the idea that the rich will stay rich and in power and the poor will become and continue to be neglected.

This article explains how all citizens got pulled in to politics and that every average citizen was a business man. It also describes how everything is related and connected to business-especially politics-so everything is corrupt. It really stood out to me because of how concerned the author was with this way of life and how he considers it a ¨sport, as well as how he  says that  "art, literature, religion, journalism, law, medicine, -- they're all business" which really shows how everything revolved around money, which is very scary.

This article focuses on the meat industry during this time. It gives details of how unsanitary the factories were. A quote that stood out to me was " there were things that went into the sausage in comparison with which a poisoned rat was a tidbit". This comparison really puts things into perspective how bad things were. If rat dung on the meat was the least of their problems, it makes me wonder what else was put into the meat during this time.

This article describes the poor working conditions and low wages of young boys working in coal mines. Injuries and possible long term affects due to clouds of dust were common and were endured for only sixty cents a day. After the author spent just a day in the mines, he reported "I was covered from head to foot in coal dust, and for many hours afterwards I was expectorating some of the small particles of anthracite I had swallowed."

The article shines light on the brutal conditions children had to work in coal breakers. The author emphasizes that he tried working what the children did and found it terrible. His hands where cut and he missed a lot. the author mentions how hard and straining the job is and mentions in the paper how risky the job is. A lot of children get injured or killed from the machines, and the work can alter there development. For the amount they get paid a day (60 cents) the work is way too difficult and abusive, the conditions they worked in where something a child should never have to be in.

This article goes into depth about all of the terrible and disgusting things that were happening in these meat processing factories. Just one of the many things that stuck out to me was that it said rats would climb on and poop on the piles of already rotten meat so the workers would leave out poisoned bread for the rats then those dead rat carcasses and poisoned bread would also be mixed into the meat and processed.

This excerpt details the harsh conditions that many young boys had to deal with while working in the mines. There were injuries very often caused by the hard coal which would cut the boys hands and then the dust clouds would be swallowed and cause asthma or respiratory illness. A quote that stood out to me was, "Sometimes there is a worse accident: a terrified shriek is heard, and a boy is mangled and torn in the machinery, or disappears in the chute to be picked out later smothered and dead." This shows the severity of the work and how it can cause terrible injuries and even death.

This article is describing the novel written by Upton Sinclair which is a book about how unsanitary meat was, along with the awful conditions that immigrants had to live and work in.

This article is mainly focused upon the harsh conditions that child workers had to face for hours per day. The author tries to do for 30 minutes what the boys do for entire days at a time,  and from what he describes, the conditions those boys worked in for up to 12 hours per day. He said his hands were cut up and he had breathed in some debris from where he was working, and that was within only 30 minutes of work.

This is an article that describes the unsanitary atrocities that workers go through in the meat packing industry. Not only are the workers not sanitized, but the meat is as well. Not only does working in the meat packing industry have sanitary problems, but there are many life threatening dangers as well. As a result of their long hours of work, these labors end up with mangled hands and some even end up dead. Workers can be seen not caring about their job, paying no attention to the numerous of rats infecting the facility. This article effectively disgusts the reader and sheds a negative light to the meat packing industry.

Young boys had to work 10 hours a day to earn only fifty-sixty cents. Instead of going to school, they are working in filthy conditions. The fact that these boys are working in dangerous and extremely difficult workplace is shocking. A quote that stood out to me is " ... a  boy is magled and torn in the machinery, or disappears in the chute to be picked out later smothered and dead." This quote is quite hard to hear. It is cruel to put these young children under such conditions. Boys can end up dead by working in coal breakers. They are deprived from their education, their childhood, and that affects them mentally.

This article talking about the awful working conditions little boys had when working in the mines. A quote that stood out to me in this article was, "a boy is mangled and torn into a machinery, or disappears in the shoot to be picked out later smoldered and dead." This quote just shows that death was something that could happen to these boys, yet they still had them working in these harsh conditions. It also talks about how many of the children that work in the mines have not been to school, and some go to night school, but after a long day school isn't the big focus.

This article describes Upton Sinclair's novel, The Jungle, which details the horrific working conditions in meat-packing facilities, and the extreme lack of sanitation that took place, leaving readers appalled by what they read was going into the meat and processing. Sinclair later commented after the novel was published about how the reaction was not what he intended, saying "I aimed at the public's heart and by accident hit its stomach." This novel led to the creation of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, and established the base of the Food and Drug Administration.

This aritcle reflected on the typical occurence of business and basically everthing in life. It was spefically focusing on politics and how every politician is a business man. Business is not about politics but politics is for sure about business. The one thing that stood out the most about this article was how strung up the author was on how at the end of the day everything is about business and politics is just a sad sport that gets played in the middle. Every business man is a bad citizen because he is busy.

This reading exhibits the hard work conditions of the children they had to face. Injuries were common with the children and sometimes some even die due to the lack of experience and machinery they have the children working on. This stood out to me because the work the children are doing that can lead to injuries and death yet continue to do it for only 60 cents and the children see this as a norm in their lives.

This article talks mainly about child labor. It goes in depth about how they would work long hours and make only 60 cents. Most of the children haven't been to school and don't know how to read or write. One detail that stood out to me was when it said some children would get mangled and torn in the machinery. It stood out to be because these children are so young and haven't even been to school. They are working for low paying jobs and accidents like these are just part of the job to them.

In this resource it provides a history of the notoriously known "Boss Tweed" It accounts both his financial and political actions. Events such as "Tweed primarily exercised power through his control of patronage, the ability to appoint supporters to jobs in New York City government". In opposition to this historical figure Thomas Nast shows his distaste for tweed and his actions, calling his actions the epiphany of greed and the leader of corruption and ill-intentions.

This Muckraker reading focused on the idea that in the end, politics is business. Moreover, a huge problem was realized: almost everything in this world is business. Politics must be something other than business if this country actually wants change. One quote that stood out to me reads, "But don't try to reform politics with the banker, the lawyer, and the dry goods merchant." I thought this meant that the country was looking at the wrong people to change for the betterment of politics. The US needed to rethink their ways if they truly wanted effective political reform.

This ariticle speaks on the hard times and difficulties of being a Coal Breaker during this time. the Children where in cramped positions, slumping them over causing them to having back problems. the coal was hard sometimes cutting, breaking, or even crushing fingers. the boys where only 10-12 years of age working for as low as .50 cents(which is around 14.00 now) a day. I chose this article because I belive it showed how poorly these children where being treated and just how bad the conditions of their jobs where.

This article is about children who had to work in dangerous coal mines to obtain money. One detail that really stood out to me was that the boys as young as 9 or 10 were in the mines and hunched over breaking coal. They did this backbreaking work (10 hour shifts) for only 60 cents a day. This stood out to me because the boys made very little money and killed their bodies alongside being uneducated

This article is about Upton    SInclair´s book, The Jungle. This book goes into detail about the horrific conditions that immigrant packing plant workers were forced into in the early 20th century. This book tells about the poor conditions these men worked in, the toll it took on their physical bodies, and the disgusting habits of these workers. One detail that stood out to me was that the meat in these plants would be stored on the floor in various rooms where a number of things such as pipe water, rat feces, dirt, and spit all were mixed in with it.

In the two paragraph excerpt from The Jungle the horrors of factory life are shown to the reader. Not only are the meats made in these factories horribly unsanitary, but the men who work in these factories are also mutilated, "The hands of these men would be crisscrossed with cuts, until you could not longer pretend count them or to trace them." These men were treated absolutely brutally, and it was all so that the factory owns could get all the money out of them.
