- 23446: Can Computers Understand?

Roberts says not only will this be the easiest to write about, but it will also be more interesting. Roberts also advices, “it is good manners to avoid personality.” By avoiding personality Roberts means don’t write what you think your instructor wants to hear.

Dunbar only goes out because he wants to see the frontier, or land that hasn t been settled. This just so happens to be Indian land.
