"They are poverty's honest badge, these perennial lines of rags hung out to dry, those that are not the washerwoman's professional shingle. The true line to be drawn between pauperism and honest poverty is the clothes-lines. With it begins the effort to be clean that is the first and the best evidence of a desire to be honest."

Touch

The poor kids had to hand wash clothes because there were no washing machines at the time, and they had to wash someone else's clothes.

"There were houses in which as many as eight children have died in five months. the records showed that respiratory diseases, and measles had caused death in most cases".- The jungle

Sight and smell

This quote shows that many houses in the slums had very sick people which probably spent most of their time working or sitting in bed coughing. and the air quality was very bad which if you have been in bad air quality before that you can almost smell that the air quality is bad.

"There were wool pluckers, whose hands went to pieces even sooner than the hands of the pickle men; for the pelts of the sheep had to be painted with acid to loosen the wool, and then the pluckers had to pull out this wool with their bare hands, till the acid had eaten their fingers off."

Touch

The fact that their hands would slowly burn away by the acid used on the meat is horrifying. They would do this until their fingers were completely gone and then they were probably out of work for life.

"They brought up all the old rancid butter left over in grocery stores of a continent, and "oxidized" it by a forced-air process. to take away the odor, re-churned it with skim milk, and sold it in bricks in the cities!...  -The Jungle by Upton Sinclair

Taste

They take old and rotting butter from stores and then they take away the smell and mix it with skim milk and then sell it in stores. They sell rotted butter to people.

-Sight-

This quote involves the reader in the sight of the tenements and how crowded and dark they were, along with the feelings of all the people who had to live in them.

touch

The workers would get little cuts and would die because of all the diseases and the government or the owners of the factory don't care about the workers health.

"Worst of any, however, were the fertilizer men, and those who served in the cooking rooms. These people could not be shown to visitors-for the odor of a fertilizer man would scare away any ordinary visitors at a hundred yards," -The Jungle

This passage really makes you understand how bad the men smell. If other people aren't allowed to see them it influences your sense of smell.

"These people could not be shown to the visitor-for the odor of a fertilizer man would scare away any ordinary visitor at a hundred yards." --The Jungle

Smell

The smells of many areas of meatpacking were awful, but the men who worked in the cooking rooms ("fertilizer men") all smelled worse than anything.

“Long ago it was said that "one half of the world does not know how the other half lives." That was true then. It did not know because it did not care. The half that was on top cared little for the struggles, and less for the fate of those who were underneath, so long as it was able to hold them there and keep its own seat. There came a time when the discomfort and consequent upheavals so violent, that it was no longer an easy thing to do, and then the upper half fell to inquiring what was the matter. Information on the subject has been accumulating rapidly since, and the whole world has had its hands full answering for its old ignorance.”

How The Other Half Lives

The way the people were getting treated violently, it shows how the top half got treated compared to the poor and the living conditions.

"Step carefully over this baby--it is a baby spit of its rags and dirt--under these iron bridges called fire escapes, but loaded down, despite the incessant watchfulness of the firemen, with broken household goods, with wash tubs and barrels, over which no man could climb from a fire."--How the other half lives

sight

This shows how how dirty and little room they had and that it was almost normal that the baby is covered in rags and dirt.Also the place is so crowed that if a fire were to happen it would be very hard to get out.

"These men could be crisscrossed with cuts, until you no longer pretended to count them or to trace them."- The Jungle

Sight

The meat packers have been cut so much all over there that you can't even count them...this tells us how bad the conditions were for the workers but it was expected in the meat packing industry.

"...'de-vyled' hame was made out of the waste end of smoked beef that was too small  to be sliced by the machines; dyed with chemicals so that it would not show white, and trimmings of hams and corned beef, and potatoes, skins and all, and finally the hard cartilaginous gullets of beef, after the tongues had been cut out. All this ingenious mixture was ground up and flavored with spices to make it taste like something."
Taste and sight
This shows how bad the meatpacking industry was at the time. Everyone working there knew the meat was rotten and they tried to pretend it was fine. Everyone who ate the meat would get sick.

"And then the pluckers had to pull out this wool with their bare hands, till the acid had eaten their fingers off. There were those who made the tins for the canned meat, and their hands, too, were a maze of cuts, and each cut represented a chance for blood poisoning.'' - The Jungle

Touch

The men were touching the wool with their bare hands letting the acid eat their fingers. Also, the open cuts got infected and had a high percent chance of getting blood poisoning.

"The hands of these men would be criss-crossed with cuts, until you could no longer pretend to count them or to trace them. They would have no nails,-they had worn them off pulling hides; their knuckles were swollen so that their fingers spread out like a fan."

touch

The men would lose their thumbs and gain cuts on their hands due to the pulling of hides. This would affect most of the men in the industry and would cause further contamination of the meat that was sold. The workers would also gain disease from the open wounds.

--The Jungle

The fact that men would work in tank rooms where they could accidentally fall into one of the vats that they were maintaining and be unable to escape. They became trapped and were often brought out as bones.

"Let a man so much as scrape his finger pushing a truck in the pickle rooms, and he might have a sore that would put him out of this world."--The Jungle

touch

This idea of such a small and insignificant injury killing a man really influences your sense of touch, thinking about how something such as a cut you currently have could have been your death if you were alive at this time.
