In the class, we have discussed explicitly on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
-The women: We discussed that there were different types of women in this book. For example, the witch (the spiritual one?) and the weak one (Mr.Kurtz’s fiancé)
-Racism: There are lots of examples of racism in this book. However, does that make Conrad racist?
Connections: I read “Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain on American Literature. There are LOTS of racism. Does that make Twain racist?
-Theme: Does Conrad support colonialism? Does he oppose racism?
Connections: In the beginning of school year, we have agreed that the literature is like the forest that is up to the people to explore the forest. Thus it is up to readers to interpret the theme of this book.
We have also watched “Apocalypse now”, which is based of “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad.
-Similarities between two:
- The protagonists are on a mission to find Mr. Kurtz
- The protagonists dislike their sailors/soldiers
- Their sailors/soldiers get injured
- “Heart of Darkness” and “Apocalypse Now” both shows the heads of savages, which are on sticks.
- The protagonists both travel by boats on river.
- The protagonists both got attacked by savages.
-Differences between two:
- “Apocalypse Now” takes place in
Vietnam while “Heart of Darkness” takes place inCongo - “Apocalypse Now” shows girls dancing on the state while “Heart of Darkness” doesn’t.
- In “Heart of Darkness”, the protagonist’s aunt gave him the job. In “Apocalypse Now”, the soldiers gave protagonist the job.
Things we did in class:
· Discussed Heart of Darkness
· Watched “Apocalypse Now”

- Huck/Pride read and annotate due Feb. 29th.

답글삭제Good job! These are really detailed and mention everything we talked about during our class discussion.
Pass. I think you could expand upon some of the critical questions we discussed relating to HOD. That is, instead of stating the question "does that make Conrad racist?", you could give some of the opinions given in class by your peers or Ms. Holmes.
