@sarah_koncel Interesting! Does Hosseini use oxymorons throughout the book for other characters? Or more than once for Rasheed?

@Nicolette_2014 is more complicated than living in a civilized area.

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

In heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad uses powerful nouns and adjectives to create conflict by demonstrating how living in an uncivilized area

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

@EmilyNHaynes That's interesting! Are they used with other characters too when they have internal conflicts?

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

Conrad's sentences are long and tends to drag on which help set up the mood of darkness and establish the issues surrounding imperialism.

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

@T_Breiter Good connection to your theme, but was there any other diction choices that illustrated the mood?

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

Conrad uses the words "place of darkness" "the surrender, the hate" and "brooding gloom" which creates a heavy, mysterious, and dark tone.

@TimJBurroughs interesting, do you believe that everyone did not know what was going on?

[Nicolette Sansone @Nicolette_2014]

Conrad uses the words "generous mind" and a "noble heart" to characterize Mr Kurtz as a good person who cares about others-Heart of darkness

@kaylakeena I agree nurturing is vital. The way the monster was treated altered his view of life and his experiences lead him to be cruel.

Shelley explains the contrast of monster vs. man by showing the monster can be kind and helpful, but will never be accepted by civilization.
