What is so special about Kurtz that people are constantly running backto him? Why do they always find the need to impress him? Everyoneseems to be fake around him. They change to get information. Why dopeople act fake? What is the purpose? Kurtz creates hysteria wheneverhis name is mentioned. People put on an act pretending to like himwhen they really don't just to gossip. Kurtz may be wise and wealthy,but I still don't see what is so special about him. All they seem tobe able to talk about is Kurtz. He doesn't seem to be that importantto me.
