Last but one lesson on the "Heart of Darkness"

Hey,

today we worked some more on the text and picked up some important information.

You had to identify all the elements present in the text that evoked the characters were lost and afraid.

T hen you had to complete the missing words from the text where some blanks had been left out. Here is the explanation why these words didn't appear:

These words didn't appear because they all belong to the lexical field of "fear" and their common point is to help create the uncanny atmosphere of the extract.

You also had to write a presentation of this text in English:

"to be written by Eliott"

And finally, your task was to highlight in the document words alluding to the 4 natural elements, air, fire, water, and earth. Here is the list:

Fire : fires ; burnt ; burned (l.10)/ steampipes (l.3)

Water : the river (l.7) / the reaches (l.4) / water (l.5) / steampipes (l.3)

Air : air (l.8) / whirl (l.5)
