Upton Sinclairs The Jungle - Socialism :: Upton Sinclair The Jungle

The Jungle Socialism During the late 1800s and archeozoic 1900s hundreds of thousands of European immigrants migrated to the United States of America. They had aspirations of success, prosperity and their own conception of the American Dream. The mass of the immigrants believed that their lives would neckly change for the better and the new world would bring vigour but happiness. Advertisements that appeared in Europe offered a bright future and frugal stability to these naive and hopeful people. Jobs with excellent wages and working conditions, skin rash safety, and new(prenominal) benefits seemed like a chance in a liveliness to these struggling foreigners. Little did these people know that what they would confront would be the complete antithesis of what they dreamed of. The enormous rush of European immigrants encountered a lack of jobs. Those who were successful enough to find employment wound up in factories, brace mills, or in the meat packing industry. Jur gis Rudkus was angiotensin converting enzyme of these disappointed immigrants. A sweeper in slaughter house, he experienced the horrendous conditions which laborers encountered. on with these nightmarish working conditions, they worked for nominal wages, inflexible and long hours, in an ambience where worker safety had no persuasion. Early on, there was no one for these immigrants to turn to, so many suffered immensely. Jurgis would later learn of worker unions and other groups to support the labor force, but the early years of his Americanized life were filled, with chopped fingers, unemployment and overall a depressing and painful "new start." Sinclair, has shown in a dramatic style the hardships and obstacles which Jurgis and fellow workers had to endure. He made the workers sound so helpless and the conditions so gruesome, that the reader almost wants a way issue for Jurgis. Sinclairs The Jungle is a "subliminal" form of propaganda for Socialism. At a sen tence in our nations history where the rich were very wealthy, and the poor were penniless, Sinclairs portrayal of collectivism in regards to the laborer is very appealing to a jobless, hungry, indigent man. Sinclairs batch of socialism, wasnt as flawless and beneficial as it seemed.
