Imagery in The Jungle :: Upton Sinclair

The guessworks that I encountered when reading slightly the substance packaging industry in the early 1900s were very graphic. Some images were to a greater extent graphic than others. The first position that comes to mind when I think about the passage The Jungle was the huge iron wheel with pigs on it. This scene sticks out in my mind because I throw out al to the highest degree shape the pigs squealing as they are ripped away by their feet up high and higher into the air. I can also see the massive river of hogs awaiting their play to be chained up by the burly Negro. Another scene that is easy to describe is the scene where the knockers struck the cows on the thinker with a sledge hammer. In this scene either I can imagine is worn out man who has swung a sledge all day. This man would have to be worn out in a couple of years due to the physical demand. The next scene im sacking to describe is the scene in the steaming room. This is probably one of the most disgustin g scenes in the entire text. Knowing all the germs that could possibly be there and the fact that there was new germs brought in every hour. The fragrance those men had to have worked in would have been gut wrenching. The bubbly creek was the part of the Chicago river into which all the blood, lard, hair, and any other possible affair that came off of a pig or cow was swept into. The subject that a man came along and collected the film that formed on the top and sold it as pure lard is appalling. And to think that trustful families purchased the waste and then cooked with it. One of the jobs the men in the factory could bear for was the knocker. This was the man who would knock out the cows before they were slid out of the putting to death bed. Another job there was in the factory was the butcher this abuse was the one who was to bleed out the cow. The way in which he did this was to get ahead one swift stroke to the cow. After which the cow was hung to bleed out. The tribal chief was one of the other jobs men had in the factory. It was his job to make 2 or three swift strikes to the neck and severe the head in the fastest manner possible.
