Lately, I read a short story called "Mr. Know All". The story takes place on a ship, which is sailing from San Francisco to Yokohama, after the First World War. While reading the story, I was exposed to two main characters, Mr. Kelada and the narrator, that are very different from each other.
Mr. Kelada isn't described as a typical English man. He has dark skin, a fleshy nose, sleek curly hair, large liquid eyes and clean-shaved cheeks. In addition, he is very chatty, hearty, jovial, patriotic and argumentative and knows everything about anyone, that's why he is called "Mr. Know-All". Mr. Kelada doesn't take anything to heart too easily, however, he
is always there to help those who do.
The narrator, is described as a typical English man. We aren’t told exactly how he looks, however, we can guess it by his personality. He is probably, fair, very clean, well dressed and has straight pulled back hair. In addition, he is judgmental, arrogant, a snob, cold and conservative. The narrator, dislikes anyone who is different than the norm, this is why he truly dislikes Mr. Kelada.
To conclude, I would say that I like Mr. Kelada better. Unlike the narrator, Mr. Kelada is always very friendly and hearty to others, and doesn't judge them by their name, origin or skin color. Even though Mr. Kelada has some qualities I disliked, I feel like I can relate to him better, and like him more than the narrator.
Excellent work!.
