Reaction to "Out of Africa"

            I found the reading to be very descriptive. The story was so detailed that the reader can imagine the persona’s surroundings and truly feel what the persona felt. I also appreciated the amount of cultural reference the story had. The text had so many details that it was easy to understand how each tribe was different from another. I also appreciated the local color used in the text. The elements of the story were very vivid because of it.

             I also noted the persona’s sentiments towards the changes happening in Africa. From when he was first there, a more modern civilization started to develop over time. I guess this applies to all nations in the world. Foreigners come to a native land and influence it in many ways. The cultures blend together, people find ways to adapt to the changes occurring around them, and eventually, even the most backward community will be influenced by the ongoing modifications.
