Homework#9 Tuesday Nice to eat with you communion
In Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"
The evening meal for the family is the only time that the family gets to
be together because it is the small fraction of time when none of the family
are at work. The family bought a house UNWITTINGLY knowing about the interest
they had to pay until later so this put them into a panic. The main character,
Jorgis was LUGUBRIOUS because every member of the family had to work including
his new wife, and oldest child who was not quite sixteen so they had to fake
his age. It was here at their “communion that they could relax and tell the gruesome
stories in what they first thought were HYPERBOLES of the places they worked as
well as learn from one of their fellow Lithuanian neighbor the history of their
house and the ways of Packingtown and the US. The family could enjoy each
other’s company and often this communion would keep the family SANGUINE about
their situation as it continued to worsen.
