Abstract
This paper discusses Sinclair Ross? ?Field of Wheat? and shows how it is a poignant testament to human endurance as well as the frailty individuals sometimes must admit. It examines the challenges faced by the farmer by the onset of each new season and the different weather elements. It parallels the hope of every crops inherent gamble with each season to the lives of Martha, John and their children.
From the Paper
"The point of view of the burned-out farm wife wavering between desperation and endurance seals the imagery of the story into apposition of the hope of every crops inherent gamble, born on the back of her husband, John. Martha has seen and recognizes the gamble. She can name, not so lightly, the calamity that has been the end of so many crops, and this crop is the best one ever. Martha makes a mental list of how deserved her John is for this success as she ticks of the list, ?A crop like this was coming to him. He had had his share of failures and set-backs, if ever a man had, twenty times over?Wasting and unending it was as struggle, struggle against wind and insects, drought and weeds. Not an heroic struggle to give a man courage and resolve, but a frantic, unavailing one.? "

Abstract
This paper discusses the themes of loneliness, isolation and survival in Sinclair Ross' novel "The Lamp at Noon". It particularly focuses on the insanity of the character of Ellen and the reasons for her becoming insane during the story. The paper shows how this story epitomizes the struggle of the Canadian farmer during the depression in the 1930s.
From the Paper
"This story epitomizes the struggle of the Canadian farmer during the depression. The refusal to listen to advice for changing farming practices in the face of drought; sacrificing long-term prosperity for short term cash grab, is the hallmark of many 1930s failed farms. The relationship between Ellen and Paul plays out another story, that of the poor man who marries a rich wife. The chip on his shoulder and foolish pride prevent him from listening to his wife and acknowledging when it is time to change, to move on, and to put aside his pride to save his marriage and family. Ellen is the traditional wife, needing her husband, but locked in the rules of marriage and staying at the farm even though she knows she should leave to save her baby. Yet she stays and the baby dies. The guilt and shame of that decision and the isolation ultimately cause her insanity."

From the Paper
"The Jungle, regarded at times as propaganda rather than literature, is written by Upton Sinclair, one of the most controversial writers of the Progressive Era. Sinclair was a ?muckraker? or a journalist who wrote exposes in attempts to alert the general public of the deception and dishonesty then existent in the United States. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1878, Sinclair composed both essays and fiction on topics such as the coal and oil industry, newspapers, the liquor business, the persecution of radicals and the threat of dictatorship. Although he wrote many pieces to expose corruption, he experienced his first real accomplishment with the printing of The Jungle in 1906, which established him as a leading social critic."

Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle" has been largely misunderstood for the last one hundred years. Rather than attacking the meat packing industry, Sinclair's ultimate purpose in writing "The Jungle" was to highlight the atrocious conditions that capitalism produced for uneducated workers, especially immigrants. In this, Sinclair sincerely hoped to persuade his readers to convert to socialism and overthrow the wage tyranny of all capitalist industries, not just the meatpacking industry. The paper also considers the historical impact of Sinclair's work, namely the founding of the Food and Drug Administration.
From the Paper
"Upton Sinclair's The Jungle is an excellent work of fiction. It capably explains the living and working conditions that most European immigrants had to endure upon coming to American in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Sinclair used The Jungle to discuss not only the deplorable way of life that immigrants faced in America, but also to support his belief that socialism was the superior political ideology of the day. Here, the author will discuss the perceived purpose of The Jungle--namely to attack the meatpacking industry--and then demonstrate how this was only a glancing concern of Sinclair's when he wrote the novel. Sinclair's ultimate purpose, even if it was unsuccessful, was to highlight the atrocious conditions that capitalism produces for uneducated workers, especially immigrants. In this, Sinclair sincerely hoped to persuade his readers to convert to socialism and overthrow the wage tyranny of all capitalist industries, not just the meatpacking industry. For the last one hundred years, Sinclair's purpose in writing The Jungle has been largely misunderstood and misinterpreted."

Abstract
This paper discusses "Upton Sinclair's" scathing social commentary novel, "The Jungle", and how it triggered a nationwide storm of indignation and conservative criticism. The paper explains that Sinclair's intention had been to emulate Harriet Beecher Stowe's condemnation of human slavery in Uncle Tom's Cabin by condemning the injustice inflicted upon millions of meat packinghouse workers, whom he considered to be little more than wage slaves of the Beef Trust and its powerful supporters in the federal government. Ironically, many readers missed the entire thematic point of Sinclair's novel, for instead of being outraged by the political and economic establishments' criminal abuse of working Americans, they found Sinclair's graphic descriptions of what was added to the meat to be much more pertinent and interesting.

Abstract
This paper examines Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' theory that the process of loss and grief can be measured in seven distinct steps ? shock, denial, anger, negotiation, depression, acceptance, and hope. It explains that the stages may be in any order and can amount to any length of time to progress and advance to the next level; its significance is shown in the application of this theory to a real-life situation concerning the death of a loved one. In this paper, the theory is applied to a real-life tragedy experienced by the author.

From the Paper
"Loss of a loved one through death is always a challenging concept in psychology to study. Many theorists have attempted to formulate a standard process of stages of grief. The most popular school of thought on this subject involves the E. Kubler-Ross theory. This paper endeavours to explore the stages of grief and loss that Elizabeth Kubler-Ross posits in her theory, and then demonstrates its application to the real life death of a loved one I encountered as a child. By supporting the E Kubler-Ross theory with empirical evidence, can one provide a true insight into the complicated progression of emotions and thinking the griever experiences when faced with the death of a loved one."

Abstract
A review of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle". The author describes Sinclair's account of the misery, pain and poverty of working class Lithuanian immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1890s and analyzes the theme of class inequality and to what extent it has changed today.
From the Paper
"Sinclair shows how during that period, the gap was wide between the working class and the few rich. Although the only rich character in the story is introduced very briefly, the striking contrast of his lifestyle is sufficient to paint a very grim picture. Even without that contrast, however, Sinclair?s description of the life of the poor working class is very powerful. Starving and cold children, women digging their way through snow to get to work, children eating scraps found in dumpsters, man who are so driven at work they have to eat their food mixed with blood from the butchered animals -- all these are images that show the pain and the misery of the working class."

Abstract
This paper explains that Upton Sinclair wrote his expose of the meatpacking industry, "The Jungle", partly as a way of demonstrating the rapacious and inhuman nature of capitalism when it was not curtailed by some government controls regarding worker and consumer safety and partly to demonstrate to the consumers of meat products themselves the dangers posed to their health when they ate such tainted foods. The author points out that the metaphors of meat in this book provided Sinclair with many potent metaphors for human life under capitalism.The paper relates that "The Jungle" is not simply a literary text but also a book that changed the world because it led to the implementation of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 and created more human conditions for workers.
From the Paper
"The production of food and meat does not have to be like it is depicted in "The Jungle", however, in the author's view. Sinclair was no vegetarian. Sinclair focused on European immigrants in his work, partly as a reflection of the reality that such immigrants were usually chosen first and foremost for the low wages that accompanied the horrific task of working in the meatpacking plants. But these immigrants also represented a tie with an earlier and more wholesome relationship with the land. Despite their desperation working in the factories, the European immigrants of Sinclair could remember a time, from their childhood in other nations, where food production was health and agriculturally focused, rather than something that was done purely for profit, without concern for worker's health."

Abstract
This essay examines Upton Sinclair's attempts to expose the horrendous practices of the meatpacking industry and the miserable conditions of the poor who worked in the industry. It also briefly discusses the political impact the novel had on American society.
From the Paper
"The unhealthy, often gross, practices of the meatpacking business, the unfair labor practices that occurred in these meat packing plants and the embrace of socialism as the utopian answer to the ills of capitalism are the three focuses of Upton Sinclair?s book, ?The Jungle.? As a result of Sinclair?s work the United States Senate passed the Meat-Inspection Bill in 1906 requiring stricter inspections of meat and packing methods in the United States. (Literary Digest 1906)"
