<h3><u>Connection between the fall of Trujillo’s regime and public opinion of him:</u></h3>
There is a close connection between the rise and fall of Rafael Trujillo’s regime and the Mirabel sisters. Mirabel sisters emerged as the Martyrs and the national leader in the Dominican Republic like the Rafael Trujillo and have sacrificed their lives for their country.
They have first emerged as national heroes and raised political awareness across the country than their sudden demise in the same country. The Mirabel sisters were detained just like the Rafael Trujillo and their leadership came to an end after their assassination.
Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell and Frank Norris were amont the first journalists to publicize immoral, corrupt practices of large industries during the Progressive Era.
Upton Sinclair was an American writer who won the Pulitzer Prize. In 1904, Fred Warren, editor of the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason, commissioned him a report on the bad practices of the food industry that would become the novel The Jungle, an unprecedented sales success and a huge international commotion. As a consequence, President Theodore Roosevelt received the author in the White House and put in place laws to ensure the quality of food for human consumption.
Ida Tarbell was an American professor, writer and journalist, considered one of the main "muckrakers" of the Progressive Era. She is known for her research on John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; her investigations exposed the unfair monopolistic practices carried out by the company until the Supreme Court decided to dissolve the monopoly.
Frank Norris was an American correspondent and novelist. Between 1895 and 1896, he worked as a correspondent in South Africa. Between 1896 and 1897, he was assistant editor of the San Francisco Wave. During the Spanish-American War, Norris was a correspondent in Cuba for McClure's magazine, being critical of American interventionist policies in the war.
This line points that the author and her compatriots have already transformed America: <span>"The remaining struggle for me is to make the American readership, meaning the editorial and publishing industries as well, acknowledge the same fact."
The author already considers herself as an American writer in the American writing mainstream, she is only just finding ways on how she can further expand this and make people more aware of the issues that many immigrants face in America.</span>
A simile. (the answer is too short let me ramble of for a lil bit haha)
