    Bunyan, I feel like he a more down to earth guy that I can understand. Milton has a harder time resonating with me partly because I can't understand him. But the truths Bunyan tells, can be applied even today.

    I think that Bunyan is way better because milton is harder to understand and bunyan is better to understand and to actually relate to unlike milton.

    I also would have to say that I agree with Dave and also X. Bunyan seemed to be more real and true. Milton was more of a higher thinker, or at least I didn't understand him much.

    I think that Bunyon is better because he had a hard life and he really knows how the grace of god has helped him in his life. He also is pretty down to earth.

    Milton, because if you break down his name it is Mil-TON!!! LOL It sounds super funny to me. But then again, Bunyan sounds familiar. I think I heard it in a movie or something. It also sounds like a type of food! Hehehe. Now I'm hungry.

    I think i identify with Milton the most. From what i've read, he seems like a guy who stood up for what he believed in, by writing. He took a definite stand on censorship along with many other things, and believed in the good nature of people. He didn't let people who outranked him tell him what he could and could not believe. He died poor and blind, but he never backed down from his opinions. I feel like i can somewhat relate to him on a smaller scale.
