<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 commas at the end of the first two lines and the fourth line link closely related ideas by indicating a very brief pause.
The comma at the end of the line "We have come over a way that with tears has been watered," signals that the next line is connected to the same idea, although the words form an independent clause.
The semicolon at the end of the third line separates two distinct ideas—the harshness of the past journey and the travelers' arrival at their destination.
The question mark at the end of the line "Come to the place for which our fathers sighed" indicates a rhetorical question, which doesn’t need to be answered. In this case, the question is more of an acknowledgment of past struggles. The speakers have figuratively traveled a long distance to arrive where their forefathers longed to reach.
In my poem, I plan to use a variety of punctuation. I’ll place different punctuation marks in different places and see how they make me feel. The punctuation will help my readers interpret how the lines connect or contrast. Depending on how my ideas are fitting into the lines, I'd like to include some enjambment, which is no punctuation at the end of a line. I might follow that with a punctuation mark in the middle of the next line.
Answer:
The answer would be C) swimmed.
Explanation:
If you put each answer into the sentence, you can see if it does or doesn't make sense. Ex:
Lets try A first:
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swammed </u>in the outdoor pool.
Although saying "swammed" might be fun, this does not make sense, therefore the answer cannot be A.
Lets try B next!
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swum </u>in the outdoor pool.
Again, this might be fun to say and all, but this does not make sense, so we should try C next.
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swimmed </u>in the outdoor pool.
This one makes sense and works! We should still try the last answer, D, though (you never know!)
At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swam </u>in the outdoor pool.
At first glance, this may seem correct, but if you say this out loud, it doesn't make sense. The answer must be C) swimmed.
Hope this helped! :)
A time loop kind ...!! I've always found them fun and interesting so yeaaa those.
Answer:
Read the poems below and answer the question that follows.
“The Taxi”
by Amy Lowell
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum.
I call out for you against the jutted stars
And shout into the ridges of the wind.
Streets coming fast,
One after the other,
Wedge you away from me,
And the lamps of the city p rick my eyes
So that I can no longer see your face.
Why should I leave you,
To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?
“Where Have You Gone”
by Mari Evans
Where have you gone
with your confident
walk with
your crooked smile
why did you leave
me
when you took your
laughter
and departed
are you aware that
with you
went the sun
all light
and what few stars
there were?
Where have you gone
with your confident
walk your
crooked smile the
rent money
in one pocket and
my heart
in another . . .
