I read The Jungle a few years ago. I was struck by the family trying to take care of themselves but failing again & again. In particular the sausages that were mostly wood shavings stuck with me - both that is was accepted by society & that even when they could afford meat, they got scammed. I also found my interest waning after the umpteenth financial disaster befell them…the not learning, not adapting, not learning English so they could take care of themselves …it just got too sad.

Thanks for sharing! The description of the sausage was wild, along with the fertilizer plant’s conditions… *shudder*
