By Joseph Conrad, I found it almost impossible not to compare the characters in the novella to the actual people that we read about in Adam Hochschild's book King Leopold's Ghost. The character, Kurtz, was particularly interesting, and not just because he seemingly lost his mind in the end. A collection, and he even bragged about paying his black soldiers for every head they brought to him. By Adam Hochschil...

Your Friendly Neighborhood Rhyme-Slinger!!!: September 2008
http://lyrx4vinyl.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Your Friendly Neighborhood Rhyme-Slinger! Tuesday, September 30, 2008. The Heart of Darkness. Although I am still still intrigued by the topics we have discussed through our readings, The Heart of Darkness. By far has been my least favorite. I can't completely understand the full concept of what Joseph Conrad. Maybe it's just me being too far behind instead of Conrad being too far ahead. Yet I think people will agree with my opinion.

Learning About Africa: The Bleeding of the Stone
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008/11/bleeding-of-stone.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2008. The Bleeding of the Stone. When I first started reading this book, I was worried it would be a boring read. However, after I stuck it out for a while, it started to get pretty good. Asouf begins to tell his story and the visitors arrive. I was curious about the place where all of this happened. The map on the left is of Libya. And I'm guessing of the area near where this book takes place. November 12, 2008 at 8:29 AM. November 26, 2008 at 2:49 PM. View my complete profile.

Learning About Africa: The Language of Johnny Mad Dog
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008/11/language-of-johnny-mad-dog.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. The Language of Johnny Mad Dog. As I've read through. There have been several passages that have caught my attention and I feel have helped me to understand the main characters better (Laokole and Johnny). I just think it is interesting that these two sentences are repeated in the book and I'm wondering if they are repeated at all later on in the book. I guess I'll just have to keep reading.

Learning About Africa: 2008-11-30
http://kristintuinier.blogspot.com/2008_11_30_archive.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Ways we can help.ways others are helping. To be honest, I wasn't going to find anything new to bring to class today about helping in Africa. However, last night I decided to look at the Kalamazoo Gazette. And found, to my surprise, an article about World AIDS Day. The reason I wasn't going to do anything for class today was that I had written my second paper on World Vision. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Rhyme-Slinger! Thursday, November 13, 2008. The Bleeding of the Stone. E to them both having curses (although they weren't the same.). All around the novel has its ups and downs but I can't complain. It was actually more of an interesting read than I had originally gave it credit for. Yet, it all revolves around the main topic we've been discussing somehow. 160; . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Child Soldiers (Shooting from the Knee Caps Down! The Bleeding of the Stone.
