Born on September 20th, 1878, in Baltimore, Maryland, Upton Sinclair was a "muckraker" (An American journalist or writer who sought out to initiate social and political reforms). He wrote his first book, Springtime and Harvest, in 1901, which was a story of two lovers, inspired by his first unhappy marrige.

In 1906, Sinclair wrote "The Jungle," which was a book to protest the meatpacking industry. He wrote about how a man fell in a meat grinder, but they continued anyway.
He made political, economic, and social changes within his lifetime, as well as write over 90 books!
A complete genius of his time
Thanks to Upton Sinclair, I don't eat people.

A self centered person that only thinks about themselves, and will talk shit about you behind your back if you ever meet him/her. If you confront a Jacob Upton about talking bad about you behind your back, he/she will lie about it and pussy out of some kind of a conflict.
Look, dad! Is that a Jacob Upton?
Yes, son. You should avoid him.
