Comparison of the Two Accounts of the Galapagos
A tropical desert paradise formed from extinct volcanoes off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands, or Encantadas, are both the subject under examination in the scientifically organized account of passage one, as well as the romantic setting mourned by the author of passage two. ... Neither of the two authors offer a particularly warm or charming description of the Galapagos, though each maintains his own level of personal investment, or distance as is evident, and shares his very unique perspective on what is, essentially, the same cluster of Pacific Islands.
Although each passage conveys different ideas and attitudes, they both share one major similarity: The islands of the Galapagos are not admirable for their natural beauty, for they have become worn, like desolate savannah wastelands. ... Several times does the author of the first passage imply that the information he shares is being recorded in a scientific journall for purposes of research of the Galapagos environment. ... ” No where does he hint at how these observations affect him, whereas the second author’s full intent is to bring to light the great religious or emotional experience that he has invested in the Galapagos.
