However, I believe the saddest part of the article was when they finished describing the school and…

The last entry in Kurtz’s report written at the request of the International Society for the Suppression of Savage Customs contained a handwritten postscript: “Exterminate all the brutes!” which caught Charles Marlow’s attention immediately.

This fear is portrayed through dramatic sentence structure creating a sense of anxiety that is in…

However, these missionaries often do not realize that who they think are "savages" may be better off without what they have to offer. These Europeans have in their minds what is called a single story of Africa, a shuddering misconception of another’s life, only a small fragment of their entire story.
