Heart Of Darkness
Number of Words: 1001 / Number of Pages: 4
... the Belgian company’s office. Sitting in the office are two women dressed almost completely in black. Marlow is no beginning to understand the seriousness of the journey he is going to make. Even his predecessor dies because of a quarrel over two black hens. The usage of black is almost too much to handle. Another example that I also

of the white ivory. Its beautiful white shine makes it look righteous, even though it really demonstrates a ...

... more than
they do to their parents. The children are free from prejudice and
appreciate the true value of their servants. It is also untrue that the
vicious cycle of poverty condemns a person to a life of unhappiness. In
the story "The Martyr's Corner", the lack of education does not mean a poor
and unhappy life for Rama, who was said to be "earning more money than
graduates". At times, external circumstances overturn previously happy
lives and characters are not in control of their destiny. In "The Axe",
the appearance of the developers literally tear down Velan's happy
existence and forces h ...

... As the second part of this assay, I want to focus on gypsies since they construct an other culture other than the inhabitants of Macondo. To find out the importance of this distinct, nomadic gypsy culture will enable the reader to make a comparison between gypsies and their contact with civilization, and Buendia family and their failure within their solitude.
