Heart of Darkness 		Heart of Darkness‚ by Joseph Conrad is a fictional novel with an overflow of symbolism. Throughout the entire novel Conrad uses a plethora of simple colors‚ objects‚ and places in order to clarify very complex meanings. By doing this‚ Conrad is able to lure the reader into a world unlike his or her own: the Congo River‚ located in central Africa. Although the interpretation of these symbols is so elaborate‚ the simplicity of each makes it somewhat easy to overlook.

The second poem I revised also had a change to the title‚ but the change was minor. The formerly named “Dilemma at 12:30” is now “Dilemma at Noon”.
