So with it being Friday, spring break is pretty much over, only the weekened is left, and a weekend it should be. I have North Texas Food Bank tomorrow for NHS, and Sunday... I see myself doing that calculus take home test that I was reluctant to do. I've been, well trying to get some rest this spring break. I was originally planning on catching up on reading these princeton review AP books, but that hasn't happened. Instead, the only reading that I've done this week is of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's a really nice book, well so far anyways. I can really see how this book had an effect on society in the early 1900s leading to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Acts. I can also see how this book could affect society yet again today. The family in this book is of immigrant decent struggling through the wilderness of the city (Chicago). The reason I say that it could affect society again today is because this book, published in 1906, a time when there was much immigration, reminds the American people, who are decendants of those immigrants, that many started life in America very hard, obtaining any job that they could get their hands on, and determined to keep it. Sounds familiar? Well it should because many hispanics are playing the same role today, more or less anyways. Well this is just the way I see it anyhow.
School is coming back, and I just want more rest...
