    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.

    Second Heart 1. Describe the story’s setting. Being from Newfoundland the setting of this story really appeals to me. The setting takes place in a small town in Newfoundland.

I usually look at the signs on the wall‚ because I feel that they allow anyone that walks in the classroom to see what resources the teacher gives the children to learn.
