the JUNGLE!

Oh yes, I am serious. The Jungle. By Upton Sinclair. That infamous book that is about SLAUGHTERING INNOCENT FARM ANIMALS so they can feed the mouths of hungry slefish human beings. Now, don't get me wrong. It's a good book. I am on page 52, and so far it has been good but not soooooper entertaining. It doesnt immediately grab your attention, I would say, but just by knowing the plot line it's got to be interesting. Am I right? YES. I think the dominating literary element is probably symbols. Meaning the dead cows and pigs and such. They take up such a humongous chunk of the book already, it seems pretty clear. And the tone? I think Informative and Somber, and something else like 'Excited' or something. I don't remember all the words. Yeah. The end.
