Jurgis 'Grief In A Separate Peace'

However, the workers did not share this point of view with the company, thinking only about their pay cut. Though the workers have an understandable distaste towards the pay cut, the fact that they took so much aggression towards the company suggests that they didn’t understand the predicament the company faced, that their jobs resided on the need of the company making a profit, which it

War profits that were invested into the industrialization, helped the economy become stronger. However, industrialization was insanely horrible for the United States during 1865-1900, for the reasons of working conditions, corruption and the boom and bust cycle.

Across the course of history, mankind has attempted many different courses of action in order to industrialize their nation into a golden age of amazing technology. One of these times in history, known in American as the Industrial Revolution. During this amazing time, many different technologies were invented that truly changed the world, but at the same time, many disputes occurred between the working class and the upper class in the steel industry, described by Neil Irvin Painter in Chapter 4 of “The Depression of the 1890’s”. Many others would agree that the conditions that were put forth to the working class at the time were unfair, unjust and just plain wrong to have human beings endure.

In the Brown’s factory Teta Elizabeth’s Son Stainslovas catches Frost bite his ear lobes falls off and 3 joints in his fingers becomes damaged because he works at the lard machine.

Norman Mailer, in his article “The Death of Benny Paret,” uses simile to show a comparison between the fight and a commonly known example. He says, “Griffith was in like a cat ready to rip the life out of a huge boxed rat.” This simile is meaningful because it shows the way Griffith was attacking Paret. It shows that Paret was helpless as he was stuck in the rope. The simile adds to the work by giving the reader a visual of what was taking place at that time.

The class is reading the most dangerous game and using literary devices. The class was looking for similes, metaphors, personification, allusion, irony, foreshadowing, and imagery. I have found lots of metaphor and simile in MDGLD. So, I will be using similes and metaphors I have found in MDGLD in my essay.

The conditions that Jurgis worked in were very unhealthy, the meat could be rotting on the ground and the blood could cause severe health issues. Workers during this time suffered completely, including Jurgis and his family. The workers had to keep up with how fast a machine could operate, and if they were unable to they could either lose a job or get injured. This fast pace work style also caused workers to sometimes be unsafe when they were working. Death inside factories was a common happening because of this .

The worker who testified was also said to die within the year of the testimony due to poor lung health because of the dust in the mills and malnutrition.

In enduring these complex emotions, this section was the most remarkable part. One of the first apparent emotions the boy experiences with the death of his father is loneliness to make this section memorable. The boy expresses this sentiment when he stays with his father described as, “When he came back he knelt beside his father and held his cold hand and said his name over and over again,” (McCarthy 281). The definition of loneliness is, “sadness because one has no friends or company.”

Isolation is often a symptom of depression. In the poem “Acquainted with the night”, by Robert Frost, the speaker is flashing back to a difficult time within his life. By the use of contrasting symbolism and imagery, the poet presents the theme of darkness and sadness while also being left with a sense of sadness and hope. The speaker relies on the use of a powerful pair of contrasting symbols to set the tone and mood.
