The tone of "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling is a mix of adventure, coming-of-age, and moral lessons. It alternates between elements of excitement and danger in the jungle, as well as moments of reflection on themes like friendship, loyalty, and the laws of the jungle. The writing style is often vivid and descriptive, bringing the jungle setting to life.
The publication of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" led to increased awareness of poor working conditions in the meatpacking industry, which in turn prompted government intervention in the form of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. These legislations marked a shift towards increased government regulation of business practices to protect consumer and worker rights.
