Today's lecture focused in part upon changes and continuities (things that remained the same) in the meat packing industry. The instructor read passages from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle (pages 38-48), published in 1905, and a book of more recent vintage, Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation (pages 169-179). What differences in the two accounts are most noticeable? What accounts for these differences? And what do you find most striking about any similarities--and what accounts for that.
As has become the practices, your answer to these questions should fill at least two pages of standard-sized copier paper, double-spaced, with conventional 1 inch margins and 12 point font. This assignment is due on February 9.
