Letter's 1-4

One way they are similar is how they both have nothing and are lonely. In the beginning Walton states he has no friends or anyone to talk to. He says he has no friend and when he is glowing with success and enthusiasm, there is no one share it with. Basically he has a struggle in finding a friend who he can share his sailing experiences with. The stranger is alike Walton because he has lost everything and no one to communicate with. They both have some sort of emptiness in there hearts.
Second, they are alike because of their voyages. Walton is a Captain of a ship and likes to sail. He stays on the seas for long amount of time. The stranger talks about how he was once in Walton’s position. He states that he was once was seeking for knowledge and wisdom like Walton is. Also, the stranger that Walton is pursuing the same course as he once did and the dangers with it. This means that the stranger views what Walton is going through. The stranger explains that he is going to tell his story to him because he sees where he is at in his life.
The too are different because the stranger is more wise and knows more than Walton. He has had many things happened in his life and once to explain them to Walton. I wonder what is going to happen next. Even though I know the story of Frankenstein is going to be told but will see.
