What do you think was Upton Sinclair’s purpose for writing this text? Why did he think there was a need for change? Do you agree or disagree with his assertion that change was necessary during this time?

I think that Sinclair's purpose for writing this piece was to show the reader the awful working conditions of the immigrants. He tries to awaken the reader to the terrible living conditions of immigrants moving in. Although this was Sinclair's intent the book actually ended up brining awareness to the ways the food was being produced.
