Narration

Upon reading Some Records of Ethiopia, I am very interested in the author of this text. I feel as though his opinion is biased and this is evident throughout the text. He states in Chapter 20 that he loves Ethiopia more than any other county but also realizes that he sounds very negative about Ethiopia. He has noticed his error of bias but does nothing to correct it; he continues to judge Ethiopia and their culture. The author discusses everything in their culture from weddings to circumcision. He is very thorough in his descriptions of every topic but never draws any objective conclusions. He states quite often that Ethiopia has "converted to the law of Christ Our Lord", making Ethiopia a better place or so it seems. The author places the utmost importance on their Christianity. I believe that this author would not feel the same way he does if Ethiopia had not become a Christian society. He discusses Ethiopian culture and all of its basics but does so with a one sided point of view. I therefore conclude that the author of this text has a very bias and subjective opinion of Ethiopia.
