K. Smith, is a character from the short story to fisherman by Morley Callaghan. He is
also known as Smitty. He is a simple, shy person who wants very little from other
people; however many people choose not to talk to him because he is a hangman. The
town reporter, Michael Foster, approaches Smitty to get information for his article.
Michael soon discovers that Smitty is misunderstood, and people give him a quick
judgment. Smitty thinks, “Somebody’s got to do my job. There’s got to be a hangman.”
(Callaghan 2) he is detached from his job; Smitty prefers to, “… never read about them.”
Because it would make the job too hard for him (Callaghan 2). K. Smith, is a
misunderstood character who has simple beliefs and a simple life, but many people
would rather judge him then get to know him.

Thank you for posting your character sketch, based on the story “Two Fishermen” written by Morley Callaghan. Here are my observations regarding your work:
– Introduces the character, but does not give context to the story and/or the author
– Does not properly include two integrated quotations
> attempts at there, but must put references at the end of sentences
– Gives some insight on the character
– Spelling and grammar mistakes throughout, needed further editing
> Story titles should be in quotation marks and capitalized
Thank you for submitting and interesting post about the character!
