FFN reading guide

Ch. 8
- The picture.  Every element of it.  We've talked about "reading images" and its importance, especially at the AP level.  How do you read this image on pg. 168 and how does Schlosser use it and the others in FFN?
- What does the opening sequence imply about what goes on in the slaughterhouse industry?  How is this visit symbolic of the business side of slaughterhouses?
-What symbolic parallels does Schlosser draw between the animals and the workers at slaughterhouses early in the chapter?
-If you apply the 5 step writing model to the organization of this chapter, why is Kenny Dobbins' story saved for the end?  What purposed does exploring this one serve, and how does narrowing it down to an individual's account still achieve a big picture moment?
