Robert Walton vs. The Stranger!!

Robert Walton and the Stranger, two very interesting individuals with very unique opinions, but in a way these men are similar, but they are also very different. When Walton and the Stranger first meet, Mr. S, (I am calling the Stranger Mr. S now deal with it) was almost frozen to death looking for someone. This is already a contrast because even though Walton likes adventure and sailed to the North Pole, I am pretty sure he was not crazy enough to go alone, and not figure in rations and etc. Later on we find out how truly weird Mr. S is, as he just gives off that feeling of a crazy guy. The ultimate goal for both seem to be the north pole, but their ultimate goals are different, Mr. S looking for someone, and Walton looking for a passage. Their attitudes are very different, as Mr. S is so full of curiosity and amazement, while Walton, just sits and complains about not having a true friend on the ship. And their situations are completely different, without the luck of Walton finding Mr. S trying to fulfill his lifetime goal of becoming a fudgecicle, Mr. S would be dead, and Walton, well he would still be complaining about not having a friend.
