![]() ![]() It is such a disservice for the history curriculum to tell kids that all this book is about is the horrors of the meat packing industry. What starts out as a happy immigrant family trying to achieve their dream in America, slowly turns into a nightmare. While the main character does get work in a meat packing plant, the book is actually about the horrors of American industrialization. My whole life, up until now, I thought that it was all about the horrors of the meat packing industry but nothing could be further from the truth. It is used as a reason why Theodore Rosevelt created the FDA, this is in American schooling. I never thought about reading it before because in history class they give you a raw summation of it's contents. ![]() ![]() Just finished reading and I have to be honest. ![]()
