Mdisho Character Analysis

Improved Essays
In the book " Going Solo " there are many characters to meet some are alike and different. Well, the two characters that I found interesting is Mdisho and Miss Trefusis. Miss Trefusis and Mdisho are both dotty, but they come from different backgrounds. Meaning that Mdisho comes from a tribe of warriors. While Miss Trefusis is being a rich woman probably from somewhere of high quality.
Mdisho is a man who likes to fight and likes violence. He grew in a tribe of warriors as a young kid. Mdisho is a six feet tall man, with a flatted nose, he has the whitest teeth you will ever see, and he is super built. He is a warrior man because in the novel he told Dahl why don't we strike first at the German. Dhal had to tell him that there are rules, they have to wait till the war is actually declared. Mdisho thought that was not the way of fighting. All that he had had in his mind was to win the war at any risk. Dahl thought that he was brave and he got to make him his " boy ". They ended up becoming friends. Then one-day Dahl showed Mdisho his sword. Then later that day, while Dahl was asleep Mdisho grabbed the sword. He ran four hours straight to the man's house. He acted like a crazy man. When he got to the house of the man he saw him throwing paper into a fire. Mdisho sneak up behind him and swung the sword at his neck. The man's head was hanging off, so

For example, Mdisho chopping off a man's head and miss Trefusis not using her fingers to eat. They also both have their way of doing stuff. For instance, Mdisho like to get straight to the violence when it comes to a battle. Also, Miss Trefusis like to eat her food with utensils. They aren't all alike, though. For one, they come from different backgrounds meaning, that Miss Trefusis comes from a rich little town probably and Mdisho comes from a tribe in Africa. Those are the similarities and differences of my two characters Mdisho and Miss

The characters, whether they are legally free or not, are subjected to violence that intends to rid them of what makes them human and render them lifeless objects under the whites’ hold.…

    Romeo and Jerry Everyone likes to believe that we are all our own individual people but Maya Angelou put it best when she says, “I note the obvious differences / between each sort and type, / but we are more alike, my friends / than we are unalike,” (Angelou “Human Family”).
