The story takes place on a ship, which is traveling from San Francisco to Japan, after World War 1. On that ship there are the two main characters that share a cabin - The narrator and Mr. Kelada. The narrator is a proud Englishman from The British Empire who disliked whoever is not British. Mr. Kelada is also British, probably from a colony which England conquered according to his skin color, and a very friendly man.
The narrator is, probably, a white skinny man who has short hair(a typical British man). He is an arrogant, querulous man, who likes his solitude. He disliked Mr. Kelada before he even met him, because according to his name the narrator decided he's not British. The narrator doesn't like to talk very much, only when necessary, and believes that during meal time it should be quiet. He's not friendly and throughout the whole story he makes racist comments and feels superior to those who aren't pure British. He likes formality, believes that strangers should put "Mr." when they address him, and thinks that a gentleman shouldn't be pushy and sticky. He judges everyone before he really knows them according to their appearance and behavior.
However, Mr. Kelada is the complete opposite to the narrator, and everything he does annoy him. Mr. Kelada is a short and dark-skinned man, with a sturdy build. He has long, curly, black hair, a flashy nose, big liquid eyes and white teeth. He is probably a rich man, since he travels a lot (according to the labels on his suitcases). He is a very friendly guy (he knew everyone on board in 3 days!), chatty, energetic, uses no formality - which annoys the narrator very much. He did card tricks even though the narrator told him he hates them, and joins the narrator everywhere he goes. He is so naive and doesn't understand that the narrator dislikes him. He runs everything on the ship - from sweeps to a fancy-dress ball, and is a good mixer. He is most "intolerable", according to the narrator, at mealtimes - he is hearty, jovial and loquacious. He knows everything, and he's never wrong. He likes to argue with anyone who disagrees with him until he proves them wrong. That's why the passengers called him "Mr. Know-All".
To sum up, we can see that the two main characters are completely different and has almost nothing in common, except that they are both British. Mr. Kelada annoys the narrator in every possible way.
I like Mr. Kelada better than the narrator because the narrator is too arrogant and judges everyone like he's superior to them and flawless, and Mr. Kelada is just trying to be friendly and nice. I'm sure he's not that worse as the narrator describes him.
Good comparison, although you need to correct your grammar mistakes.
