Now that the nature of both of Adamo's journeys is known, they can be compared through diction used in the story. In his first journey, Adamo walks to the new village, and it must be assumed that he is feeling a bit resentful for being sent away, but otherwise is in a peaceful state of mind, whereas in his second journey he walks directionless and "fevered" through the unknown forest. When Adamo reached the other village, "his mother's friend welcomed him into her family." The woman is obviously very nice and friendly, and is trying to make Adamo feel at home. But, when Adamo reached joins the West African regiment, the other soldiers do not help him and the "men who gave commands became angry" because Adamo could not understand them. So, the welcoming Adamo receives is obviously very different from one journey to the next. Although in his second journey the soldiers do not help him at first, Manu, the regimental bass drummer, meets Adamo and ensures that the others will "protect him form his mistakes" from now on. This protection is similar to that of Adamo's mother, who saves him from disease by sending him away. Also, in Adamo's first journey, his mother's friend is constantly requesting that he stay for a while longer because he is "doing good work." This can be compared with the second journey because Captain Fossey is always giving "the boy encouragement and praise" and he (the Captain) thinks of Adamo as his "prize". Obviously Adamo is a hard worker, which is reflected in both of his journeys. Furthermore, when Adamo returns to his village in his first journey, he unexpectedly finds only one person left in his village - an old woman. "He questioned her patiently, precisely, saying over and over the names of his mother and his father." Being as polite and mannerly as he could, he discovered that his parents had died from small pox. In contrast, in his second journey, Adamo was questioned by Captain Fossie as to whether he wanted to join a highlife band but because his "comprehension of English was slight" he couldn't understand the Captain.
