Heart of Darkness... Image of Africa..

I thought the Heart of Darkness was a real difficult read... I didn't get a major part of the story. It was based on stories.. I can't really explain the writing, it was wrttten sort of wierd; I thought that the Image of Africa helped me understand a little bit of it though.. It explained how and why the story started the way it did, and what story was the past and which was the present.. It was hard to catch up because I didnt know what story was a story from the past and which was important.
