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.

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 sense of touch is displayed through this short fragment from the Jungle. Men getting cuts and swollen fingers influenced touch and how the workers were damaging themselves while producing meat.  Not only were these men getting swollen fingers but the risk of death was high. This affects the touch the men have for there thumbs and other fingers, that are much needed.

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. " --The Jungle.

Touch 

This is affecting the general touch of normal civilians. A job this damaging was taking away the gift of touch that was given to these people when they were born. Now, due to these traumatic events normal touch is a thing many of these men will either never experience again or they will just experience it in a different way. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387133553 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387135973 How the Other Half Lives 

"When the summer heats come with their suffering they have meaning more terrible than words can tell."

Touch

This aspect that the scorching summer heat only fuels the people of the tenement-house's misery. They couldn't even sleep because it was so hot. No water, no food, only life threatening heat. Death rates were even higher in the summer, especially for children and babies.

Touch

The hands of these men in the meat factories are so worn down and damaged that they're barely even usable anymore. They were at a high risk of death because of this and their hands are completely destroyed, they would have no nails and swollen fingers. They would probably go through extreme pain everyday because of these factories.]]> 2022-11-16 18:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387139591 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387139876
"The hard fact is that the instinct of self-preservation impels them to make common cause against common misery"-- How the other half lives                      

sight
The sense of sight is shown because people don't see what's going on so they don't think about how bad the conditions are and they don't care because it doesn't affect them. Even if they were to see the harsh conditions they would ignore it just like the rest of the country. There were no laws to protect the tenements which allows lots of death to happen through starvation and disease. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387139876 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387140026 "There were the wool pluckers, whose hands were even worse than the hands of the pickle men; for the pelts of the sheep had to be painted with acid to loosen the wool, and the pluckers had to pull out this wool with their bare hands, till the acid had eaten their fingers off."--The Jungle 

Touch
The gory sense of touch is displayed through this passage. The passage went in depth and very detailed on how the acid would take off the workers fingers. It had words that triggered emotion like "eaten their finger off" and "painted with acid". These descriptive words should how terrible the conditions were that workers had to work in and how dangerous they were. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387140026 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387143594 "In the stifling July nights, when the big barracks are like fiery furnaces, their very walls giving out absorbed heat, men and women lie in restless, sweltering rows, panting for air and sleep."--
How the Other Half Lives

Touch

The sensation of feeling the heat through the walls to the point where it becomes unbearable is describing the sense of touch. This quote conveys how sweltering the summers in NYC were and how people were gasping for air because of how hot it was and how unfiltered the quality of the air was.]]> 2022-11-16 18:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387143594 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387145645 "For months the family had subsisted on two dollars a week for the priest, and a few loaves and a piece of corn beef which the sisters sent them on Saturday the doctor gave direction for the treatment of the child, knowing that it as possible only to alleviate its sufferings until death should end them. -How The Other Half Lives"

Sight

The perspective of seeing the child suffering and there's nothing there is to do because they do not have enough money to afford much at all and to try to at least lift the suffrage of the child close to death shows how much they had to sacrifice to try to survive.]]> 2022-11-16 18:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387145645 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387147219 "There were men in the pickle rooms, for instance, where old Antanas had gotten his death; scarce a one of these that had not some spot of horror on his person." 
touch
I would not want to be in a room full of pickles. It explains it was scarce to find someone who did not have one spot of horror in them at these pickled rooms. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387147219 mitchellbrooke https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148586 "She was gasping in the agony of peritonitis that had already written its death-sentence on her wan and pinched face" -- How the Other Half Lives 

Touch/sight

The excerpt from this passage uses descriptive language to show the effects of the ignorance to poverty and bad hygienic surroundings. It explains the literal pain of the child as well as the emotional pain of the family. It also conveys their helplessness in that situation and gives an inside look at how poverty affected everyday people during this time period. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148586 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148635 "There is no sadder sight than this patient devotion striving against fearfully hopeless odds." - How The Other Half Lives

Sight 

When the doctors would come in it would be hard for them to save lives so the people would suffer while with the doctor. Sometimes the disease or condition that they had would be too hard to fix or cure so then the people knew they were a lost cause and they would die. So this affected sight because it was hard for the others to watch these ill people slowly die out. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148635 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148972 "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."
-Attack on the Meatpackers
Touch

The acid makes it easier to pull the pelt off, but then the workers have to burn their hands. The process must have been so painful, and that's all they did for a job. The feeling of this is beyond what pain I could imagine. The possibility that this even was part of a real job is insane. Think about how it felt, it would feel like an infinite amount of cuts on your hand.]]> 2022-11-16 18:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387148972 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387151063 "The records showed that respiratory diseases, the common heritage of the grippe and the measles, had caused death in most cases, discovering the trouble to be, next to the inability to check the contagion in those crowds, in the poverty of the parents and the wretched home conditions..." -/How the other half lives/

Touch

Showing how the diseases have been a terrible, terrible thing during this time, and for a while after, but the worst part of it was that children had been dying, people were dying because they had been too poor to pay for even the slightest care of themselves and/or their children. The emotion and physical pain people were feeling was unnecessary  ]]> 2022-11-16 18:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387151063 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387151137 "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 that their fingers spread out like a fan"

touch

the hands of this men are so worn down in the factories and are damaged are just usable anymore the men have a high risk of death when working in the factories that most of them lose there hands.]]> 2022-11-16 18:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387151137 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387152446 "And then there was "potted game" and "potted grouse," "potted ham," and "deviled ham". De-vyled ham was made out of the waste ends of smoked beef that were too small to be sliced by the machines; and also tripe, dyed with chemicals so that it would not show white". - Attack on the Meatpackers

Sight

The sight of the ends of the smoked meat being dyed with chemicals so that none of the meat would be showing white. They wanted to do this so that people would buy the meat and actually eat it because no one wants it if it was showing white.

touch

The workers had burned their hands a lot with acid and they would always get injuries from any type of work that they did. The jobs done by people put them through a lot of pain. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387153141 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387154257 "She was gasping in the agony of peritonitis that had already written its death-sentance on her wan and pinched face. The whole family, father, mother, and four ragged children, sat around looking on with the stony resignation of helpless despair" -- How the Other Half Lives

Sight

The scene of a family surronding their sick child with no hope of saving her, knowing they will watch her die, affects your sense of sight, as you realize how grateful you are to have seen so little of this kind of desperation.]]> 2022-11-16 18:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387154257 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160430 "Of the butchers and floorsmen, the beef boners and trimmers, and all those who used knives, you could scarcely find a person who had the use of his thumb, time and time again the base of it had been slashed, till it was a mere lump of flesh against which the man pressed the knife to hold it. - The Jungle

Touch

This affected the workers touch because they were losing their thumbs to cutting things with knives for their jobs. This is taking away their touch in their thumb and some in the hands. Their touch won't ever be the same for them.]]> 2022-11-16 19:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160430 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160528 There were the wool pluckers whose hands went to pieces sooner than the hands of the pickel men; for the pelts had to be painted with acid to loosen the wool, and then the pluckers had to pull this all out with their bare hands, till the acid had eaten their fingers off.- Attack of the Meatpackers

Touch

the sense of touch is shown in this passage by showing how the workers had to pluck wool apart with the acid slowly eating away at their fingers, as they work. This really exposes the life of the lower class by showing that they were so desperate for a better life they took jobs that ruined their hands. Not only that but they stayed long enough for their hands to go to pieces ]]> 2022-11-16 19:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160528 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160573 "The measles, ordinarily a harmless disease , furnishes a familiar example. Tread it ever so lightly on the avenues, in the tenements it kills right and left."

Sight 

The sight of families being infected by this epidemic and them knowing they might only live a couple more days if that. This quote makes you realize what these people were going through and how hard it was to live without any sort of food, shelter, clothes or even any way to cure themselves of this disease.]]> 2022-11-16 19:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387160573 https://padlet.com/cynthia_makos/5rgoferuzai0/wish/2387161471 "while the patient efforts of the lives finally attuned to it to render the situation tolerable,and the very success of these efforts,serve only to bring out in stronger contrast the general gloom of picture by showing how much farther they might have gone with half a chance"--How the other half live

sight 
This shows there effort and how they are making a chance to make it better for people that lived on the streets and. How it looks form a far and they way it is land out in the picture,shows what some of the other buildings and what look like .

Touch

The sense of touch is provided in this passage. This passage goes into detail on the men working in the meat industry, getting cuts on their hands, and having their nails worn off. The passage shows how dangerous the conditions of working in the meat industry were, because of the risk of getting hurt. Going to work with conditions like this every day must be very painful to all of the workers that were working in the industries. Because many men could have died from these conditions or affect them for the rest of their life.
