Progress in The Jungle

I'm about halfway through reading The Jungle. It's pretty good so far. It was decided between my partner and I to pick out the particularly "revealing" parts of its story. We also planned on looking for any noteworthy photos that may have been taken at the time. I'm guessing we will use the students' reaction as a sort of set and explain how these stories and images had provoked a similiar reaction on the people of the time. The reaction was enough to cause a nationwide reform on the meatpacking industry.

It was interesting trying to get used to podcasting; hearing your own voice is always a less than frequent occurance. Since we were inexperienced and had several mishaps we ended up re-recording several times but the end result turned out alright. Also worth noting were the microphones/headphones we used to record. I felt like an air traffic controller. I wonder how many other people shared this sentiment.

My partner, Diana and I will be doing something on The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. We picked it because it's a historically important novel which works considering how she's a history major and I'm an english major.

Well,

I'm on my way to becoming one anyways.
