I am including here three sets of notes: the two lesson plans based on a discussion format
(for the new format of Humanities) and the lecture I used to give under the older version,
just for your background usage. These documents will open in Word, so you can simply save them to your hard drive.

Heart of Darkness
"Heart of Darkness advances and withdraws as in a succession of long dark waves borne by an incoming tide. The waves encroach fairly evenly on the shore, and presently a few more feet of sand have been won. But an occasional wave thrusts up unexpectedly, much further than the others; even as far, say, as Kurtz and his Inner Station"- Albert J. Guerard.
Helpful Outlining.
