Reading Response: November 9, 2011

The narrator's tone is dark in mysterious in the first three paragraphs. The word "barbarous" and the phrase "mysterious life" in the 1st paragraph displayed the tone along with the "grotesque masks" in the 2nd paragraph. In the 3rd paragraph the narrator described something as "deathlike" which also demonstrates the tone.
A country would manufacture the idea of the other because it makes that country seem superior. It also unifies a group by creating the idea of an enemy.
