each piece separately, and as a whole. In the discussion between Polo and the Khan it is possible for the reader to glean a few significant thoughts. Still the cities add a richness and depth to the dialogue, filling up the mental image with specific images that fill the background, putting the points that could be initially and easily overlooked into the foreground and highlighting them. Each attempt made by the Khan to place each destination into a category in which he felt it fit a certain…
