Congo Peafowl

The Crow and the Peacock Once there was a crow, who lived a happy and satisfied life in his village. One day the crow was flying along when he saw a beautiful white swan.

The parrot has 2 colors while I just have one. So he must be the happiest bird.” Taking the swan’s

“Madison Carter! I know you were the class clown! Don’t try to fool me!” my husband Johnny Flash yelped. I rolled my eyes, I didn’t have time to argue, I had to get ready. “Whatever Johnny. Don’t forget to be ready at seven o’clock. We have to be at school for my thirty year reunion at seven-thirty, remember?” I reminded him. “I thought that was next week!” he sighed. “No! It is tonight, so get dressed!” I rebuked. I went off to my bedroom to get my dress. It was a gorgeous brown

Moreover, they were forced to work the land, so the Europeans could obtain the products they needed by using a cheap labor force to turn around and sell them at a profit. These products included such commodities as rubber, diamonds and coffee (A New World Order: Imperialism and World War I).

"'And this also,' said Marlow suddenly, has been one of the dark places of the earth" (Conrad, 1990, p. 5). Despite the terrible actions against those in the Congo, Marlow decides to go back to try and civilize them in the midst of all the corruption. Now, a modern day

Imagine a man suddenly cast into a world he could never have dreamed of. He would be shocked by the unfamiliarity all around him, from the people to the plants, and confused of what to do. A man cut off from what he knows is only left with two options--either to reject his new circumstances or find a way to assimilate to his new society. This man will either try to find a way to return back to his world, or find a way to adjust his life to his surroundings. Throughout history, separate cultures have
