For instance, a lot of the setting's detail can be left out, and therefore be left up to the reader's imagination to view the farms' look as if they would normally see one.

    The age of Imperial Encounters marked a time period where cultures were connected and new perspectives were formed through exploration. No other explorer in this period of time caught the attention of the public as much as Mungo Park.

Park, after growing up to be a physician, made two voyages to the interior of Africa where his experiences and encounters are well documented within his journals. Mungo Park’s adventures changed the view of African geography as well as commercial perspectives. His encounters, which led to his ultimate death, are still studied and relevant in modern culture.…
