At the beginning of this short story when we met Charlie he is very narrow minded and ignorant towards Konala and the land. Charlie acts as if he needs no help or sacrifice from Konala; he emotionally distances himself from her. Charlie feels as if Konala is a nuisance to him because he believes she is useless and cannot make the long journey to find help with him. Charlie has prejudice feelings towards Konala because she is of a different race. Charlie is quick to judge Konala on her way of survival. Charlie was very selfish and ignorant for leaving Konala behind as he leaves for his ten day journey to find help. Charlie began to feel guilt as he was leaving her but is quick to forget that feeling. It was as if he was angry for feeling a sense of sympathy for Konala. Charlie gets himself into trouble and is both shocked and grateful that Konala found him before it was to late. This is when Charlie begins to show respect and kindness towards Konala for her caring behavior. They grow emotionally closer and feel love for one another. Charlie realizes even though they are both for two totally different cultures and backgrounds that Konala should be treated as an equal. In some ways Charlie looks up to Konala for being so aware and using her land to help her survive. When Konala becomes sick, Charlie returns the favor of looking after her, as she did for him. In the story "Walk Well, My Brother" Charlie goes from a heartless, selfish man to a man who is very respectful. Charlie developed a more open mind towards different cultures and the land.
