Daily Log

Thursday, April 30

We finished reading the ending of Chapter 9 of The Jungle. Students then received two handouts related to unionist and socialist Eugene V. Debs: an excerpt from 42nd Parallel, the first part of the USA trilogy by John Dos Passos (entitled "Lover of Mankind" it is a poetically-written biography of Debs), and excerpts from Debs's Canton Speech, for which he was sentenced to ten years in a federal penitentiary, where he ran for President, receiving nearly a million votes.

HW due Friday:
Read Waiting for Lefty and prepare to answer questions about it.
