In this essay will be shown the risky and difficult way of living by sailing the sea on a ship, most people may think it is easy, but no one knows until they don't live it. In those days you have to have a way to earn money and be a captain, leave a lot of money to your family. But after that profession is very dangerous. From my point of view the reading was a bit slow because it started with the introduction of all the characters and how they will behave or how they will develop throughout the story, while Marlow started with his story when he was sailboat. in calm waters the story introduces you to a state that over time you become more interested in. When he talks to his uncle and his uncle tells him that he should go and ask for the captain's job. And some parts of the book were difficult to understand because the book was written many years ago, so there are some situations that are from many years ago and you would have to do research to fully understand them.

It's amazing how Marlow wants to meet Kurtz, that's why Marlow, with the help of other sailors can achieve his many goals, he could go all over the world in a boat, face many difficult situations, he felt dead in his own hands and at the Finally he continued his journey until he found Kurtz. The text was heavy because it was made up of three chapters but each chapter is very long so it makes it difficult to read and the separation between each of them is long and sometimes they used facts that happened many years ago and sometimes searching for those facts takes you away from the plot of the text and recovering the advance is a bit difficult. Colonialism in that era was very common in many places they colonize others, colonialism is when a city extends its power to others by taking their natural resources, their workforce and their men, people can be slaves. In the story the passage was very darn wars mean many things, the story was "real" many parts of the story tell the truth about that era, with the native wars, the native war tried to represent how powers try to colonize places that have less power. And in those places they can explode all their natural resources. I think the author tries to represent many of the things that happened in that era in Europe, it's like a criticism of the government, they represent the way of life, how difficult it was to live in those times.

At first I didn't understand it but after reading something on the subject I was able to understand the reason for the criticism of the government. Europe at that time was going through many problems, economic problems, political problems and even war problems. So I think the book was completely a citizen critique of government and way of life. The book was bloody because of many things, such as wars and killings.
