Through Peter, the prolific author, Upton Sinclair, exposes big business practices-demonstrating the exploitation of the poor and disadvantaged for capital gain. Famous for politically charged novels exposing American society and the ways its institutions harmed the American people, Upton Sinclair's 100%: The Story of a Patriot provides a compelling narrative that advocates for the working class. While the upper class exploits the lower-class citizens, Peter's job reveals the struggles of workers without labor laws, invoking an empathetic desire for change. As Peter's job exposes poor working conditions, including unsafe business practice, low wages, and unfair expectations, issues of class are apparent. Though his world has been flipped upside down, Peter uses his new awareness to become a businessman. While becoming involved in politics and the government, Peter is swept into a plot to spy on the Socialist Party, who are suspected of the domestic bombing. As a result, Peter must abandon his old ignorance to political issues. After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Peter falls victim to false allegations of domestic terrorism. Upton Sinclair's novel, 100%: The Story of a Patriot, follows young Peter Gudge, a poor and uneducated man living in America during the first World War.
