“Character Sketch” based on K. Smith from “Two Fishermen”

K. Smith or Smitty from the short story “Two Fisherman”, is a middle aged Caucasian man that travels from town to town working as an executioner. Smitty is a small man with grey baby curls and a large head that sits atop a bird like neck. Smitty has a wife and 5 children, the oldest boy being 14. All his children are a lot bigger and taller than him. Smitty is apart of the middle class working men. Smitty keeps to himself and is a very shy distant person. He doesn’t have many relationships with people due to him believing people will judge him because of his job. Smitty has one superstition and that is he doesn’t read up on people who he is executing because he doesn’t want to get attached. He has a fear about people judging him due to his job. Smitty is very loyal to people he meets and is a very good story teller, but being loyal can lead to him believing people are his friends when they are not.

 

This is what I believe K.Smith would look like
