Bio and Intro

I think travel diaries and journals are usually very descriptive. People like to remember every part of their trip and journey so their entries are usually very detailed and descriptive. I have read a lot of diaries and travel journals. When I read them, a lot of them were about people going through rough times. A great deal of those dealt with the Holocaust and World War II. The writing is very descriptive and their is really explicit imagery that really allows you to paint a picture of their journey. I also find that they deal a lot with realization and the search for self. Invisible Man and the Great Gatsby both dealt with a certain time period in specific areas, and the characters learned who they were through their quest for a destination. I think the Motorcycle Diaries will be more about the journey and how people in Latin America were really living.
