I need help with an English 3 assignment. I need to find a literary piece that is similar to the great gatsby and is about life in the 1920s or shows an example of how the upperclass isn't that great
Basically it just needs to have the same theme as the great gatsby
Does The Jungle by Upton Sinclair work? It's about working class poverty, lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living/working conditions, and hopelessness among many workers. The entire book's point of view is seen through a Lithuanian immigrant named Jurgis Rudkus.
That's great thanks @kaylieanime ! I already finished this assignment tho, I used an article about an ex stripper lol.... I'm sure this will be super helpful for other students tho :)
It's a really good read though. I was grossed out and fascinated at the same time. Takes 1 1/2 to 2 weeks tops.
