Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"


In the movie "Mountains of the Moon", Europeans traveled to Africa in search of the source of the Nile River. Europeans had more power over Africa, however they faced many hardships in Africa. They need to face the fact that there are alot of bugs that can harm them. Such as the mosquitos that carry around Malaria. One of the Europeans had a beetle go inside his ear. Then he got a sharp object and put it in his ear. He ended up killing the bug but injured his ear. They also needed to communicate with the people in Africa even though they dont understand them.
They would name the river after their queen because they found it and they had more control over Africa. They had more power and control over Africa and since they found it, they named it after their queen. Europeans have greater technology such as a gun while Africans still fought with sticks and stones. They are moer advanced in technology then Africa.
