The "great packing machine" refers to the slaughter industry the author describes through the book. He is trying to portrait and denounce the unhealthy, dangerous, almost-enslavement condition the workers suffer in that industry.

The phrase "the great packing machine" refers to the slaughter industry. This is the industry that the author discusses in his book "The Jungle." In this book, the author shows the shortcomings of the meat packing industry in the United States. We learn that this industry was extremely unsanitary, a fact that shocked readers. We also learn that the workers who work in this industry often faced long and difficult hours, harsh work and very low pay.

What is a central idea of the poem "Talking in Their sleep Use two details from the poem to support your response.
GREYUIT [131]
If you're talking about the poem by Edith M. Thomas then I believe that the central idea is about how people can base something off of their looks. I'm not completely sure, but it talks a lot about how they look dead, but then explain that they are not. To me that makes it sound a lot like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

It could also mean that things take time to grow into something beautiful, and before that happens, you have to go through something difficult, seeming as if it is the end of the world. But then you blossom and bloom and everybody will look in awe.

I'm not completely sure these are right, and I'm not sure we read the same poem, but you didn't state the author's name. This was just off the top of my head but I hope it helps you or gives you an idea :)

harina [27]

Quindlen links the conclusion to the introduction of her essay with the words "like many improbable ideas, when it works, it's a wonder", which is very close to her claim in the overall text, "America is an Improbable idea", it isn't supposed to work but it does despite all of the differences, specifically racial or ethnic, within it.
