    Starting at the bottom, this layer is called the Forest Floor. The air near the forest floor is hot and humid. Only two per cent of the light that reaches the canopy can get through to the forest floor, so the forest floor is dim. This dim light slows the growth of many light demanding plants. In some of the deepest jungles the ground is a maze of scattered fallen leaves, roots, branches and twigs. When a tree falls down everything is very different because the extra light allows lots of herbs and saplings to grow. Rates of growth are incredible.…

    The Jungle is a novel that focuses its story on a family of immigrants who came to America looking for a better life. It was written by muckraking journalist Upton Sinclair, who went into Chicago and the stockyards to investigate what life was like for the people who lived and worked there. The book was originally written with the intent of showing Socialism as a better option than Capitalism for the society. However, the details of the story ended up launching a government investigation of the meat packing plants, and ultimately regulation of food products. It gave an informative view of what life was like in America at the time, and some of the parts of it that were not talked about. Important topics like immigration, working conditions and sanitation issues of the time were all addressed well in the novel.…
