Explanation:

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness tells the story of British colonialism and the effects it have on the colonies and the workers alike. The story also dwells on the issue of trading in the remote parts of the African Congo where the conditions of the imperialistic approaches bring not only physical problems but also led to a series of psychological issues for both sides.

Among the many issues that the novel deals with, one of the clear faults of imperialism that it shows is the ineffectiveness of the colonialist activities. Even though there may be a huge profit in the trading of ivory, the physical as well as psychological toll it has on the worker especially Kurtz is too great as compared to the success of the trade. Moreover, they failed to fully 'civilize' the natives, which was the main focus of "the white man's burden". Contrarily, it was Kurtz who seemed to succumb to the 'native' effects of the people rather than the other way round.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
