Leftcoastzen @dabbe I‘m happy ! There are many on those lists I mean to read , I have read Shakespeare but I forgot which ones ! The Jungle radicalized me in 6th grade. Sinclair wanted it to outrage people about treatment of workers . Teddy Roosevelt reacted more to the food safety elements. 6d

dabbe @Leftcoastzen #gobsmacked that you read THE JUNGLE in 6th grade. It's on our 12 grade. list. 🤩 6d

Both characters show how even in tough situations, the only way to survive is to face conflicts, and I highly recommended this book if you like how the main character struggles to overcome obstacles to keep themselves alive.

102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers | Jim Dwyer

My recent trip to NYC, and 9/11 Museum definitely sparked the desire read this. No words can really explain the day; one I personally remember vividly.

You could use this book in the classroom in many ways. I would use it when educating my class about the events of 9/11 (before reading the book) or for social-emotional ideas. Never be afraid to follow your dreams, work hard, and don't give up.
