Based on the excerpt of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle in the Virtual Reader, as well as your textbook and lecture notes, answer these three questions in three separate paragraphs:

Part 1: List and explain one way that the meatpacking industry in Chicago abused its workers.  As part of your response, provide at least one direct, multi-sentence quote from The Jungle, the lecture notes, or the textbook to support your answer. Provide the page (or at least the chapter) citation for your blockquote.

Part 2:  List and explain one way that the meatpacking industry in Chicago defiled the meat they were in charge of.  As part of your response, provide at least one direct, multi-sentence quote from The Jungle, the lecture notes, or the textbook to support your answer.  Provide the page (or at least the chapter) citation for your blockquote.

Part 3:  What protections do we have in place today to keep similar abuses from occurring to our workers or the products they produce?  (You may use outside resources to obtain this information).

Do not even use material for your essay for parts 1 and 2 that does not come from the resources provided in this course (lecture notes, PowerPoints, textbook, monograph, Virtual Reader) This will get you a grade of 0 for the entire Midterm Exam. Correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation are expected.
