<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.

The author used fragments, and long sentences with a variety of length and beginnings. He used such methods to create sentence fluency and rhythm in the passage through making the reader pause or 'rest' in between sentences - making emphasis on some lines and deeming it nice to listen to.

To treat a sting, wash any remaining tentacles off the skin with seawater or pick them off the skin. Soak the affected area in hot water (no hotter than can be easily tolerated) for 20 minutes to relieve the pain. Remove briefly before reimmersing and continue this cycle if pain persists.


It all depends on what kind of snake bit you.
