Evaluate and revise the rough draft of an essay titled "Two Critiques of Imperialism" (see below). The revised version should make an argument about how Joseph
Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels use the strengths
of their respective genres to critique imperialism. Your finished essay should be
convincing to an audience of students who have a genuine interest in history and
literature. Back up your arguments with well-researched evidence from at least four
sources (which can include the two unit readings), and end your essay with a call to
action
