Are these three questions for essay topics grammatically correct?

1. The Jungle is a “working-class novel.” Upton Sinclair attempts to show the troubles of Americans by focusing on the lives of the struggling poor. Come up with one word (an adgective) that you think best illustrates the situation of teh working-class in America at that time. Give three specific examples from the novel that support your word choice.

2. Were Jurgis Rudkus (the main character) and his family victims of American society, or do they bear some responsibility for their misfortunes? Clearly explain the reasons for your answer. Include at least three examples from the book to support your answer.

3. Should the government assume some responsibility in caring for those (like the Rudkus’) that are trapped in poverty? Why or why not? Fully explain your reasons.

Yes they are grammatically correct, I think. Just the word adjective in the first one needs changing.

A couple of things:

1) Italicize the title of the book in the first paragraph.

2) Correct the spelling of both “adjective” and “the” in the first paragraph.

3) Change “Rudkus'” to “Rudkuses” in the third paragraph.

They are okay but you might want to change Rudkus’ to ( like the Rudkus family). It reads better. When a word is in plural form and ends with

‘s’ then you use the apostrophy.
