    Sinclair began to release his findings as a serial in Appeal to Reason, nearly doubling the newspaper’s circulation in about a year. After rejection by five different publishers, The Jungle was released as a novel in 1906. It was an instant success; meat sales plummeted, it was translated into 17 languages so that immigrants could also read it, and thousands of letters were written to the White House calling for meatpacking reform.

Sinclair himself was invited to the White House to discuss his book with the President.…

In the heat of the Progressive Era, Lewis also developed a streak of idealism fueled by his work at both Upton Sinclair’s commune in New Jersey and the Carmel-by-the-Sea…

    Exactly why do cartoons always fall into the category of ¨kids’ stuff¨? What could be the reasoning behind this stigma of being cheaply made and poorly written so that only a child could enjoy them? It is outrageous, really, because animation does not necessarily have to be treated that way. In fact, as of the last few decades, there has been a sort of renaissance with animation wherein cartoons are given higher budgets and better stories that could parallel even the best live-action media. Cartoons are being treated not just as entertainment for kids, but as entertainment for anyone and everyone.…
