Answer:

Imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is the description of an act or anything verbally, giving a visual description of the literal words that were being said. It is a means of providing a visual image or symbolism to words that were said.

The poem "Tattoo" by Gregg Shapiro is about his father's experiences about his time during the Holocaust. The lines <em>"My father won't talk about the numbers"</em> and so on shows his reluctance to re-live the horrific experience of the holocaust. The lines<em> "his bone-crushing hugs"</em> are from the second paragraph of the poem where he, the poet, talks about his father's actions. This is a form of imagery, where the act of the hugging is given a verbal detailed description, allowing the readers to be able to visually imagine the act.

What is one reason heart of darkness has been criticized as racist?
ankoles [38]

<em>"Heart of Darkness"</em>, written by Joseph Conrad in 1889 in England, has been criticized as racist <em>"for the way the author describes poorly every person he writes about and miscast the Europeans as the victims of colonization", </em>according to Nigerian Author Chinua Achebe.

In his essay <em>“An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness” </em>(1977), the Nigerian author commented that the vision of Conrad was as racist as other African stories on the 19th century.

Another argument the author expresses is that the book emphasizes Europe’s idea of superiority over Africa.

That is why some people consider "Heart of Darkness" as racist.
