White Man's Burden Response

Throughout the excerpt, phrases such as, "Take up the White Man's burden..", "Send forth the best ye breed...", "Your new-caught, sullen peoples,/Half-devil and half-child", are used to show the author's opinion about white superiority. He protrays everyone who is not European as being almost like animals whose only purpose is to serve them. This is shown through diction such as, "breed", and "new-caught".
