Walk Well Dear Farley Mowat, The idea that a significant experience can lead to a change in how one individual views another individual develops in this story. This story shows me how a person can learn from another person that is very different from them and be moved by their selflessness into becoming a better person. It also shows me how important it is for people not to judge others for superficial reasons. An individual can learn a lot from people that are very different from them. This story was written to illustrate that point. A twenty-six year old man believed that he was capable of taking care of himself no matter what the situation. The story gives evidence of this when the author says, "he was very much of the new elite that believed that any challenge…could be dealt with by good machines in the hands of skilled men." Charles also had no knowledge of the arctic or of the people that lived there because he felt that he did not need this knowledge as long as he had his machines. It was this ignorance that led him to feel so disgusted with the natives that walk, well, very, people, story, charles, konola, because, another, person, native, himself, care, situation, shows, one, important, changed, race, others, man, machines, knowledge, individual, ill, experience, about, way, understand, take, says, save, never, natives, moved, managed
