The Motifed Jungle

Well, I may only be half-way done with this book, but I think with my current information i have enough to do an adequate project on it. I decided that the DOMINATING LITERARY ELEMENT (that's quite a handful to say) was Motif! The motif in The Jungle (as far as I have read) is the cattle and the pigs that get brutally slaughtered every day. There is always some mention of them, and how gross or how helpless or whatever they are. Or how nasty it is to kill them. Bleagh. Upton Sinclair probably addressed this the most becuase it makes the most sense! Now I would love to write more but I really need to go read my book, so bye. :D
