You are a writer in the early 1900s. Living in a major u. S. City, you see many unpleasant things each day: children as young as eight working 12-hour days, women forced into a life of prostitution, and disgusting conditions at the local meat processing plant. You decide that you have had enough of this, and, using your literary skills, you plan to write a novel that will begin to address these issues. You hope it will cause enough outcry that the public- and the government- will take notice. Based on this prompt, you would have most likely been involved in the ___ movement of the early 1900s.
