why did upton sinclair name his book "The Jungle"?

Question

HELP ME PLEASE!!! I need this bfore Wednesday. HELP!!!

Answer 1

Because it illustrates how cruel we are/were. Shows the dog-eat-dog world of the packing industry and how the workers were treated no better than animals. (Speaking of animals, it makes it clear that what the packing industry fed the United States was no better than dog food anyhow.)

In the jungle (the real jungle), there are no human laws and regulations. The only thing that keeps one animal from killing or eating any other animals is basic instinct. The Jungle depicts how the food industry was also lacking laws and regulations. There were no humans with morals to say, "We should not feed that to our fellow man," or "It is wrong to market animal waste and feces as potato soup."

It is called The Jungle because in the book, Sinclair showed a side of our society that lacks morals, compassion, logical thought, and the ability to tell the difference between right and wrong--the very things that give humans the capacity to live in society instead of in a jungle.
