Reading Group Questions: The Jungle Chapters 1 & 2Chapter 1:

2) Which one of the characters introduced in Chapter 1 do you think is the protagonist of the story? Support your choice with an excerpt from the chapter establishing his or her importance in the story.

1) The literary term “in media res” means to begin in the middle of the action. In Chapter 1, Sinclair begins the story by describing Jurgis and Ona’s wedding. Why do you think he begins the novel in this way?
2) In Chapter 2, the story flashes back to Jurgis’ life in Lithuania. This flashback provides the reader with the necessary background information about Jurgis and Ona so that the reader will accept and understand the motivations of the characters in the action to come. Why does Jurgis decide to immigrate to America?
3) When Jurgis and Ona’s family reach Chicago they “were pitiable in their helplessness; above all things they stood in deadly terror of any sort of person in official uniform, and so whenever they saw a policeman they would cross the street and hurry by.” (Pg. 27) Why are Jurgis and the others afraid of the policemen? What theme for this novel does this fear suggest to the reader?

the American Dream? 3. Read the description of the killing of the hogs
