Journal Nov. 15

On page 10 in the kindle version, he describes the huts as having gaping holes and being very dark. This sets the mood of scary or abandoned. This intern makes colonialism seem like a scary thought because it is the white people who have been making these huts collapse. On Page 60 he starts talking about the fog and how thick it is. He also says that he cannot see through it and therefore he is unable to guide the ship. This make the mood seem mysterious. Out of nowhere he has the natives attack the ship. Since the story quickly changes from not knowing what's happening to all the sudden  being attacked, it makes the ambush much more dramatic. This puts emphasis on how bad colonialism is. The natives are attacking the whites because they don't like being colonized. A last example is when Marlow meets Kurtz. Kurtz is kind of just speaking random things and not making sense. This makes the mood creepy or confused. This mood helps when we find out that Kurtz has gone insane because of the Congo. Since he has also been hurt we find that colonialism is not only bad for the people being colonized but it is also bad for the people colonizing.
