In my portfolio I have
choosen the works that I feel reflects my best work in the Jungle. The
five pieces of work are my dialogue between Jurgis and his wife Ona before
she died while trying to give birth to her second child, a movie review
on Norma Rae, an original research on Meat Inspection, a literature log
on chapters 17 through 22, and a letter from someone in the United States
assessing the situation. The first work will be the dialogue between Jurgis
and Ona which never insisted in the novel but I would have liked it to
have happened before Ona dies. The reason I chose to put this scene in
was because I felt that all the time Jurgis was in jail he never had a
chance to speak or look at his wife before she died and she never did find
out how Jurgis was, so I feel that this might have made an impact on Jurgis
if he spoke to his wife before she died.
The second work will
be my movie review on the Norma Rae story. I feel that if people want to
find out about Unions then they definitely should watch this movie. The
movie Norma Rae is about a woman who is fighting to get a Union into her
job to help out her family and along the way she loses her father and finds
out that she has made alot of sacrifices to get the Union. The third work
will be on my research on Meat Inspection. During this research I have
found a good website that will help with the understanding of meat inspection
and how to protect yourself from getting harmed from the foods and that
website is http://meat.tamu.edu so feel
free to look into this website. My next work will be my literature logs
on chapters 17 through 22. In my literature logs you will be reading my
opinion on certain matters pertaining to that chapter, in which I hope
you will enjoy reading. My last work will be on a letter from someone in
the United States assessing the situation in which if they should send
the family back to the old country.
