A passage I have decided to focus on, due to its comicalness, is the statement on the cannibals having restraint. The cannibals are described as "Fine fellows--cannibals--in their place." This label on cannibals being people who savagely eat one another, is a misconception that many of the europeans have. Commonly, these cannibals eat other humans if they are captured enemies. The Europeans are actually the ones that have no self-restraint, and are massacring a large amount of elephants to harvest their tusks for piano keys, and severely mistreat and abuse the natives of Africa.
