On this table, my group focused particularly on the extract 'A white man's burden'.
Us, and the groups before us highlighted lines such as "Fear, sorrow"- this is not only portraying a negativity, but also plays on the title, making the reader think that the white men see looking after and providing for other social groups is a burden. "Joy, devotion"- positivity, and juxtaposes what has previously been said, suggesting that people may have different opinions on this. All in one sentence there's juxtaposition between negative and positive, which could be a similie for the division of class or colour in society at this time in history, due to colonialism and post colonialism.
