My Conrad essay...

As I was writing this essay I recall really feeling a connection to the text. I felt like I knew the Africa Conrad was depicting and I could really imagine the scenes. I think that really came in handy when writing this essay. Someone who really connects to the book, I believe, can further analyze it and display a deeper sense of understanding when compared to someone who just read without any profound connection. This essay gave me the space I needed to delve into topics I kind of felt were a bit taboo and might get under some people's skin. Reading in class was extremely enjoyable and I am extremely grateful for it. By allowing myself to have the time and dedication I needed in order to fully execute this paper. I truly feel as though my participation in this class has given me the self discipline I will need for my collegiate work.
