The author's name is Upton Sinclair.
Upton Sinclair was an American journalist and novelist. <em>'The Jungle', </em>published in 1905, exposed the harsh reality of immigrants in the United States, particularly those who worked in the meat industry.
Sinclair describes the appealing conditions in meat packing plants in the USA as a way to advance socialism. The book concentrates around the life of a Lithuanian immigrant family who came to the USA to live the American dream. It portrays working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh living and working conditions in the factories.
"The Jungle" did not live up to its author's expectations as most readers were more concerned about the quality of meat being packed in the factories, health violations and unsanitary practices, than the plight of the workers. This public outcry led to the creation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906.

Answer:
The collision occurs at a height of 1/3 of the total height of cliff.
Explanation:
The situation is represented in the attached figure:
For the stone dropped from top of cliff we have
Initial velocity of drop= 0 m/s.
Now the time at which it attains a velocity of 2v is obtained from first equation of kinematics as
Thus the distance it covers in this time can be calculated using third equation of kinematics as
For the stone thrown upwards the velocity at collision is give as 'v' thus the velocity at which it is thrown upwards can be calculated by first equation of kinematics as
The height over which it changes it's velocity from '3v' to 'v' can be again obtained from third equation of kinematics as
Thus the collision occurs at at a fraction of 1/3 of height.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In Chapter 10, Smith talks about a Puerto Rican named Pete who owned and operated a bodega across the street from the firehouse. Smith characterizes Pete as a typical Puerto Rican: lazy, with no ambition to succeed in the United States.
