I NEED TO ADD MORE TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION HELP!!!
2.The story begins in England arthur’s home, the pub etc… but the bulk of the book takes place around the galaxy! The hitch a ride on a vogon ship get thrown out into space and are rescued by an improbability ship they even visit a legendary planet called magrathea.
3. IDK ARTHUR’S CHALLENGE
4.CANT ANSWER IF I DONT KNOW CHALLENGE!
5. I have many parts of the book that i enjoyed reading but my favorites were always those with Marvin the depressed robot. He thinks that everybody hates him! When Arthur tried making conversation with him on the double sun set all he had to say was ” it’s rubbish”. I don’t know why but i think it’s adorable and hilarious that he is just so depressed, if that makes any sense. By far the best scene with Marvin would have to be when he saved Zaphon,Trilliand,Ford and Arthur from the Blagolun Kapa cops by plugging himself to the cop car main computer and talking to it, it got to a point when the computer couldn’t take it anymore and committed suicide.

For question 1, you’ve described their appearance, but you haven’t said what they’re like as people. A few sentences about their personalities will quickly fill up your paragraph and give you a nice long answer. p.s. I love Ford Prefect; he is definitely my favorite in the book.
2) add some more about the galaxy. Is it realistic or not? is it the same as most space books, and if not, how does it differ.
3) arthur’s challenge is the main problem he faces. He obviously faces a lot of problems, and this is also a tough one because half the time he doesn’t do anything active, just gets pulled around into crazy situations. But he definitely does have several big problems that you could talk about. choose whichever you think is the biggest or most important to him.
4) is related to 3.
5) you seem to be fine
6) This isn’t a great question, but you can improve your answer by looking at it as if you’re trying to prove a point. You could try to “prove” that the book is funny by quoting or refering to specific places in the book that were humorous. That sort of thing.
7) the basic idea you have for your answer is fine. It is not hard to figure out how this title relates to the book. Write your answer up (and maybe add something about why the guide is so important. there are a lot of things in this book, but the book isn’t called “The Improbability Drive” or “The Vogons.” Why did the author decide to name the book after this object, the Guide, rather than after something else?)
I really enjoyed this book, and I read 2 or 3 others…I didn’t finish the series yet because after a while it started to all sound the same and I wanted a break. But I enjoy them. I love the random, slightly bitter, sense of humor.
