Indifference In Night

In the novel The Jungle, Upton Sinclair illustrates that “Neither the squeals of hogs nor tears of visitors made any difference to [the workers]; one by one they hooked up the hogs, and one by one with a swift stroke they slit their throats” exemplifying the desensitization of workers in the meat-packing industry (Sinclair, 35). This desensitization was the result of years of tedious work that removed all hope from the workers and left them isolated. However, it is not only the nature of the work that affected them, but those who had more power than them. The advance of the industrial revolution resulted in businessmen and bosses gaining power simultaneously while workers were becoming circumscribed by their work. The rise of monopolies ensured

His life is one full of narcissism and abuse. The hunger artist hates what he does, but due to the way he’s lived his life, he is so narcissistic that he can’t stop. Even after the 40 days have ended and the hunger artist is allowed to eat, he doesn’t want to. The narcissism leads to the artist throwing his life away so that he can live in a cage and perform for people that don’t care about him. Even when fasting is no longer as popular as it used to be the artist does not stop, instead he continues fasting.

A few individuals get so used to notices that they no more notice them; others never get used to a scent, and it pesters them ceaselessly. The individuals in Greeley, Colorado are of both gatherings.

He was being pushed out of the hut and away from the lady’s family, though he was being told to leave, he had a duty to collect food and return to fill empty stomachs. Scabby Bill pushed further, waiting to get given the scraps. He was betrayed as a savage by all the foreign people, they mocked him and made fun of him but he still returned. The unwelcoming looks that everyone was giving Scabby Bill after leaving the hut gave him more reason to leave.

Sinclair states, “The hands of these men would be crisscrossed with cuts, until you could no longer pretend to count them or to trace them. They would have no nails; —they had worn them off pulling hides; their knuckles were swollen so that their fingers spread out like a fan”. These workers pretty much risked their lives each day they showed up to work. This job was more of a torture place rather than a job. Sinclair states, “There were the beef-luggers, who carried two-hundred-pound quarters into the refrigerator-cars; a fearful kind of work, that began at four o’clock in the morning, and that wore out the most powerful men in a few years”.

The “Mondays” source shows a boy and maybe his brother going through trash to find anything that could be useful.

One day I was sick and tired of being treated poorly by the bad men. They were always taking me for granted. So I decided to run away from the lab. I went to this restaurant and tried to steal some food but the guy caught me. Instead of calling the police on me, he let me have the food.

That was how I learned to drive, it was a nightmare but luckily I made it out alive. I still don 't think I’m a good driver but I have stopped crashing so much, from the first time I attempted to drive to now. Although one thing never really came my freedom, I was only allowed to drive to school and to the store to run errands for my mom. She put the track my phone on my phone to make sure I went to school and came out when I was supposed to after I got caught leaving early one day. I was eager to drive for no good reason if now I wish I could have my own chauffeur but that’s never going to happen.
