Description
Both Madame Knight and William Byrd spend a great deal of time/energy describing and characterizing the people they meet and observe on their journeys. Now, I want you to reflect on both of them and write a characterization of each–as you see them. Devote a brief paragraph to each: brief but thorough and detailed. What are their character traits? Are they likeable? Why? Can you relate to either? What are their strengths and/or flaws or shortcomings? If you could spend time with either one, which would you choose and why? Which account did you like the best?
