Journal on intro to heart of darkness

1. It turned a mad dash for the resources and land of Africa
2. It lead to genocide of countless africans
3. It had a negative effect on the colonialists

What I learned about Joseph Conrad is that he spent his life traveling around the world as a seaman and writing about the places he went. The introduction didn't describe his alignment when it came to colonialism, it just stated the afflictions of his characters and how the book revolved around colonialism effecting the Congo, the people living there, and the English and Belgian invaders.
