Today I polished my bibliography and made sure that the sources I chose are reliable.
Furthermore I began to write on my paper. I think about writing in three main stages: first about the life of Upton Sinclair and special events in his life that could have led him to socialism. Next, I want to write about his novel "The Jungle" and how he intended to affect its readers. I also want to write briefly about a letter he wrote to President Theodore Roosevelt, because it shows his popularity after the publication of his book. Throughout my paper I want to display the horrible working conditions of the people of this time (The Progressive Era of 1895-1920), especially in factories such as the Meat Industry.
I was especially impressed by Sinclair's statement: "I aimed at the public's heart and by accident hit it in the stomach."
