What Is The Difference Between Dahl And Mdisho

How crazy would you be to be excited over a war? Would you be so crazy that you would want to kill an enemy even before a big war starts? Well this is how Roald's servant Mdisho is whenever people talk about war. "the mere mention of war caused such dreams of glory in Mdisho’s mind that he could hardly stand it." (The Beginning of War, 6). Roald's RAF, David Coke wasn't crazy like Mdisho, he was calm and had experience in flying war planes. He had a really good friendship with Dahl. "The way David Coke had treated me was exceptional, but then he was an exceptional person." (First Encounter with a Bandit, 79) Roald learned about Coke. After all of all the differences they have, they both share a similar and good trait, bravery and confidence.
One if these people is named Mdisho. Raised in a warlike tribe, Mdisho’s instincts were warlike, determined and brave. According to Dahl, he learned how to fight with his ancestors. In the story he kills a German leader that was enslaving a lot of people. Dahl would always notice Mdisho's native and tribe warlike characteristics about him when they would announce that a war or battle was coming. He would say,”I still have my father’s weapons in my hut!’ he cried. ‘I shall get the spear out and start sharpening it immediately! Who are we going to fight, bwana?’ ‘The Germani,’ I said.‘Good,’ he said. ‘There are plenty of Germani around here for us to kill.’ (The Beginning of War 2.1,( 7-9) Surprised by Mdisho's actions, dahl would always speak to him about war and Mdisho would tell him about his tribe. Dahl would also teach him to speak and read. Dahl liked the sense of character of Mdisho because of his bravery, techniques and stories they shared together, and dahl is always appreciated of
He met this person who introduced himself as David Coke. He was friendly and very kind. ‘David Coke came from a very noble family’ (First Encounter with a Bandit,41.3). He knew how to fly planes and was very skillful. Mdisho didn’t know anything about flying planes but he knew how to fight on the land and was a great warrior. Coke flew planes and would take them out in the skies. David Coke helped Roald fly a plane and be in war. He taught him lots of things. ‘I learnt from David Coke that a patrol meant stooging around directly above the airfield and waiting for the ground controller to call you up and direct you to a precise area where German planes had been spotted by one of the Greek comedians on top of his mountain. The take-off time against my name was 10 a.m.’ (First Encounter with a Bandit, 80.2). David Coke was a very different type of warrior than Mdisho. Mdisho with the instincts of his tribe wanted to fight at the “first come, first serve” type of fighting, while David Coke waited for the signal of when war started to obey every official and commander. They were different but they had that determination and skillful talents to be in war and fight whether it was on the land or up in the
