I aimed at the public's heart and by accident I hit it in the stomach.

Radical Innocent, 83.

This quote, spoken by Upton Sinclair, demonstrates the author's disappointment that the political point of his novel was overshadowed by the public's outcry over food production. Sinclair had meant for The Jungle critique capitalist economies. His goal had been to move the public to identify with the harsh realities of the working class and to garner sympathy for socialist viewpoints.

Instead, the country became outraged over the methods of food production. Sinclair's novel graphically illustrates the unsanitary and unethical standards by which meat was produced in the United States. The public was outraged that the government did not do more to protect the public and to maintain sanitation standards. This outcry eventually led to the Pure Food and Drug Act. The public was less concerned, however, with the treatment of meatpacking workers in

List four things to look for when you're proofreading
dezoksy [38]

Spelling. Word choice. Consistency. Style. <span>

When you proofread (which is different from editing, by the way), you’ll really just be going over your writing for small mistakes/typos that may have slipped by you earlier in the writing process. Proofreading can be considered a type of “polishing up,” if you will, of a document before it is finalized. You’ll be on the lookout for little errors such as spelling errors and misused words/word choice—words that spell check may have missed because spell check generally only catches misspelled words, not correctly spelled words used incorrectly such as “their” when “there” should have been used or “two” when “too” should have been used. 

Additionally, when we are writing/typing, typically, our minds work more quickly than do our fingers. Thus, our fingers may miss words we intended for them to type. Too, our minds are such powerful things, if we read over our work too soon after typing, we’ll read our writing as we intended for it to be written, not as it actually is. 

Other things to look out for are consistency and style. When looking for consistency, it is important to make sure you are using the correct verb tense throughout because when speaking, we tend to switch tense for effect, and it is easy to let our speaking mannerisms find their way into what we are writing. 

On the topic of that, many of us often use clichés and figurative language when speaking, and this is something for which to be on the lookout when proofreading because we tend to speak figuratively in our daily lives so much so that when writing, we don’t even know we are doing it, and in academic writing, it is always best to be as literal as possible.</span>

Which statement best describes the effect of alliteration in this stanza?
Nutka1998 [239]
I can’t see the stanza, but generally, alliteration can help add mood and sometimes tone to the writing. The repetitiveness can add a cadence to the poem.
