Homework#9 Monday Every trip is a quest

 In Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" A Lithuanian family , filled with HUBRIS embarks on a journey to the United States from their comfortable home in the forest where they hear that they can make more money. However when they arrive they find that they are losing everything because it was a time in the United States with no regulation and no boundaries.  Where they started out to become rich it soon becomes a battle just to survive the harsh conditions of Packing town. They are swindled out of their money by everyone from their own co-workers to department store salesmen and are filled with TREPADITION and mistrust. The food is unregulated and with the workers being over worked and underpaid ,as well as swindling bosses all the way up to the owner of the company food is extremely toxic and low quality. This was ONEROUS for them because it was all they could afford and would often make them sick and in an extreme case kill one of the older family members.
