Welcome to my Senior Tech Prep Jungle Portfolio. Unlike the other
pieces of writing I have worked on this semester, this collection of work
illustrates the work ethic as well as text of the Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Included are a variety of genres which illustrate my understanding and
interpretation of the work.
As you read the table of contents you will find an assortment of work ranging
from essays to movie reviews. My own work experience is also assimilated
into the project. Labor unions are also touched upon in my research.
From "The Jungle" arose many issues such as meat testing, labor unions,
and sexual harassment. For these reasons I have included an in depth
definition as well as my interpretation of a current issue - sexual harassment.
A movie review of "Norma Rae" is also included as it illustrates the power
of labor unions in the work place during the 1970's. A visual piece
is also included as I drew a book jacket for the Jungle.
Read ahead to learn more about my writing pieces. The writing process
is extensive and I hope that you enjoy reading my work. Many hours
of hard work were put into this portfolio. As graduation nears we
must all sharpen our skills and prepare ourselves for the journey which
awaits in college. Thank you and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Marlin Nunez
