2 points What is the following excerpt an example of? "All of these were sinister
incidents; but they were trifles compared to what Jurgis saw with his own
eyes before long. One curious thing he had noticed, the very first day, in
his profession of shoveler of guts; which was the sharp trick of the floor
bosses whenever there chanced to come a "slunk" calf. Any man who
knows anything about butchering knows that the flesh of a cow that is
about to calve, or has just calved, is not fit for food. A good many of these
came every day to the packing houses – and, of course, if they had
chosen, it would have been an easy matter for the packers to keep them
till they were fit for food. But for the saving of time and fodder, it was the
law that cows off hat sort came along with the others, and whoever
noticed it would tell the boss, and the boss would start up a conversation
with the government inspector, and the two would stroll away. So in a trice
the carcass of the cow would be cleaned out, and entrails would have
vanished; it was Jurgis' task to slide them into the trap, calves and all, and
on the floor below they took out these "slunk" calves, and butchered them
for meat, and used even the skins of them."*
