The analysis of her descriptions of each location revealed that the length, intensity of emotion, and religious acts contribute to how important\/memorable these locations are to Kempe.

She gives the most description of these places and the surrounding areas, the religious events that occurred there (and why they are so important to her), and the people she meets along the way in these places. The strangers she meets in these places also seem to become kinder to her, perhaps due to their proximity to the Holy Land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link: https:\/\/earth.google.com\/earth\/d\/1qwvsQi23FlRXqzBEZaYavepfgs8t_jvk?usp=sharing I separated Kempe&#8217;s locations of travel based on the levels of religious experience\/importance, and thus Kempe&#8217;s personal experiences in these locations. &nbsp; Green \u2013 Little Religious\/Personal Importance Norwich, Great Yarmouth, and Bologna are in the Green Category.
