THE SOUND OF EVERYTHING: REPRESENTING JUSTICE IN THE FAMILY NOVEL ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University _______________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in English ______________________________________ by Daniel J. Kington April 2018 Table of Contents Introduction: Representing Justice in the Family Novel…………………………………. 3 The Sound of Everything…………………………………………………………………38 Kington 2 Representing Justice in the Family Novel Introduction When Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in 1906, exposing the dark side of the American meatpacking industry, the novel provoked immense public outrage and horror. The Jungle sold thousands of copies upon its release and was translated into 17 languages within a matter of months (Younge). The public reaction to Sinclair’s subject matter forced President Theodore Roosevelt to create a commission to investigate the abuses Sinclair documented, resulting in the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act, which, in turn, led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (Younge). Novelist and Trotskyist activist James T. Farrell later argued that The Jungle made “a lasting contribution to the struggle of the American worker for social justice and emancipation from wage slavery” and that “it introduced the ideas and aspirations of socialism into the main body of American literature.” Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a novel that has had such a dramatic impact on American popular consciousness and politics as The Jungle. Sinclair gained such influence that President Roosevelt reportedly advised The Jungle’s publisher to “Tell Mr Sinclair to go home and let me run the country for a while” (Younge). -

Scholar Struggle and Survival of the Children in Jacqueline Wilson‟s The Illustrated Mum 723 According to the Encyclopedia of Children and Childhood in History and Society “Children‟s literature comprises those texts that have been written specifically for children and those texts that children have selected to read on their own” (Susina 2008). Hunt 91999) says, the boundaries between children‟s literature and adult literature are fluid. Literature written specifically for an audience of children began to be published on a wide scale in the 17th century. In 1658, Jan Amos Comenius published the illustrated informational book Orbis Pictus in Bohemia. It is considered to be the first picture book published specially for children. Comenius stated that he wanted to attract the reader‟s attention, “with pictures that amusingly teach the chief things of this world” (Literature for Children in Encyclopedia of children and childhood in History and Society 2008). Children‟s texts with limited circulation have been located from earlier periods of history. -
