Jungle Fever

I like the way the article was taken place in a classroom and the students were analyzing Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
You realize the arguement between the two students, Alex and Henry wasn't indepthly about race but it seems that way because the thought was always in the back of our mind.
Shapiro on the other hand was not very happy that his discussion had turned into something so deep and controversial. As for any teacher he didnt want sparks to fly about his own students. But when teachers ask rhetorical questions and students find the need to speak their mind and answer it, it may not have been the answer he was looking for.
I found it interesting that the women in the class were silent throughout this entire debate but afterwards claimed it to be a "guy-thing". Couldn't the women put an input of their own ideas to make a debate with their own views of the Heart of Darkness.
