People of the Abyss was a very intersting book and I really enjoyed reading it. It was very cool to see his actual view of London just a few years after Jack the Ripper went on his murder spree. It is so weird to think that Jack London wanted to make himself look like an extremely poor person to get a better look into what their lives were really like because you don’t really know until you become one of those people. The book is very interesting and I really liked being able to see how people really lived in the early 1900s. I thought the book was well written and I really enjoyed it.

People of the Abyss
January 24, 2008Victorian Era
January 24, 2008When I think of the Victorian era the first thing that comes to mind is Queen Victoria. I don’t actually know a whole lot about this era, but when I hear the word “Victorian” I think a lot about kings and queens and a very proper and aristocratic society. Big dresses and large hairstyles also come to mind.
Jack the Ripper
January 24, 2008I don’t know a whole lot about Jack the Ripper or his murders. I know that he murdered around 5 women and all in somewhat the same way, but other than that I don’t know too much else. I have heard his name come up a lot on many different occasions but I never actually learned about him and I am excited to learn more.
