She starts of by apologizing (examples) as to the form of her writing and why she writes some parts of the story while omitting others.

That although she writes about a male character, she decides to write and exalt those parts

“Song of Myself” is an attempt by Walt Whitman to become the “American poet” as described by Ralph Waldo Emerson; he attempts to be “[T]he sayer, the namer, and [representative] of beauty” (Emerson 1182). Whitman wants to speak to and for America. Whitman does not explicitly choose sides on the slavery debate that was raging at the time of his writing, but he does express the equality of all people, regardless of gender and race in “Song of Myself”.

His short story “Araby,” focuses on a young boy who has become infatuated with a girl known only as Mangan’s sister. During the short story, the young boy undergoes a metamorphosis of sorts, changing from a simple, imaginative young boy into an teenager dealing with the unforgiving realities of life.

The Lies in Heart of Darkness   A lie, as defined by Webster's dictionary is 1) a false statement deliberately presented as true; 2) to convey a false image or impression. It is generally accepted that Marlow told a lie to the Intended - the reasons for that lie are debatable. I would suggest that he told not just one lie, to the Intended, but several - that his visit itself was, in a form, a lie.   The statement easily recognized as a lie, and that falls into Webster's definition

In spite of these strong words, he lies to Kurtz's "Intended" when he visits her and tells her, "The last word he pronounced was - your
