Heart of Darkness passage

The passage that I choose is the one that Marlow is in the water and he is going on his ironic Eldorado Expedition.  In this expedition, he describes how the world surrounding him made him feel like he was going back into time.  With the description of the way the area is run is very out dated and very nature driven, really demonstrates the lack of technology and business into Africa.  This is very ironic, because the British company are the first business to come into Africa and to exploit the virgin lands of Africa.  I enjoyed the descriptiveness of this passage a lot and it really gives you a clear visual what he is witnessing. Also I enjoyed how people can go back and get lost in nature.  In this new age of technology, us getting lost in nature only happens in a video game.  I have felt this wonderful sensation where I am in one place but I feel like I am in another universe or time period.  Nature has become a very underrated aspect of our everyday life and I enjoyed how Marlow really exemplifies the importance and the innocence of nature and of the African people.
