Long Answer

1. Sinclair uses vivid imagery to describe the conditions of the slums, stockyards, and general living conditions in Packingtown. Sinclair uses this imagery to evoke pathos in the reader and turn public opinion to change policies. (Various chapters)

2. Dede Antanas dies because of an infection from work; Ona dies during a premature childbirth; Antanas dies from falling from a sidewalk into the road; and Stanislovas dies from being eaten by rats. All of these deaths could have been prevented with better regulations and fair compensation for workers. Specifically, Antanas and Stanislovas could have lived if there were regulations regarding health and sanitation and child labor in their workplaces.
