Answer 9

For Setting: Include two or more sentences from the text in support of the locations. I put - The beginning of everything was in a railwaytrain upon the road to Mhow fromAjmir. And also My particular Intermediate happened to be empty till I reached Nasirabad, when a huge gentleman in shirt-sleeves entered, and, following the custom of Intermediates, passed the time of day.

Answer 10

Can anyone help or no. I'm not looking for you to do it with me but help me find the answers.

Answer 11

Okay. Sorry I was just reading all of that. Yes, what you've posted is correct.

Answer 12

Now, I can't find any specific time mentioned, but I would say that the names of certain locations hint to the time period.

Answer 13

I guess the time period and setting is important and connects to the characters because it sets a background. The time and place can affect how a character speaks or behaves, and it can effect what the character wears. It kind of sets the tone for what kind of culture the character is living in.

Answer 14

For - Explain the connection of setting examples to the characters. I got "There had been a deficit in the Budget, which necessitated travelling, not Second-class, which is only half as dear as First-class, but by Intermediate, which is very awful indeed.

Answer 15

And the other, I'm trying to find.

Answer 16

Your right.

Answer 17

Beautiful! And thanks! *blush*

Answer 18

Can you help me find the other example of setting.

Answer 19

Maybe:
He leaves Delhi on the 23rd for Bombay. That means he'll be running through Ajmir about the night of the 23rd.

or

But I'm going into the Indian Desert

Answer 20

Right, or Then I headed for the Great Indian Desert upon the proper date, as I had promised, and the night Mail set me down at Marwar Junction, where a funny little, happy-go-lucky, native managed railway runs to Jodhpore.

Answer 21

Yes! Okay, whats next?

Answer 22

Oh wait that's the samething. The next thing is Explain your response to the setting examples.

Answer 23

Oh. We're on that. I actually didn't quite understand what they meant by that. O_o ?_?

Answer 24

I didn't get that too, but first, for Explain the connection of setting examples to the characters. I put that there was a deficit leading to the lower class people having to travel by intermediates.

Answer 25

I guess. Yeah. I think that works.

Answer 26

It doesn't sound good does it?

Answer 27

Well, I never said that... :o
But, I can't think of anything better, so lets roll with that, lol.

Answer 28

Haha, okay.

Answer 29

Well, the next question would be - Include two or more sentences from the text in support of the time period.

Answer 30

Okay. So I didn't see anything specific that hinted to a time period. I saw that it was somewhere near the end of the month, they are in India, there's a reporter, I know its sometime in the past. But, I'm really not sure. It seems kinda modern day, but modern day in India... with kings? And Englishmen lol. Okay I know, I'm not helping much.

Answer 31

That's okay, I was having problems with that also, I guess that's why I came on Open Study. For Characters: Include two sentences from the text to describe each main character: Daniel Dravot, Peachy Carhehan, Narrator (Kipling)

Answer 32

I got, He's a big man with a red beard, and a great swell he is. You'll find him sleeping like a gentleman with all his luggage round him in a second-class compartment.

Answer 33

The only thing is that I don't know who that person is.

Answer 34

Okay

~Daniel Dravot~
My particular Intermediate happened to be empty till I reached Nasirabad, when the big black-browed gentleman in shirt-sleeves entered, and, following the custom of Intermediates, passed the time of day. He was a wanderer and a vagabond like myself, but with an educated taste for whisky.

Englishmen are not usually softened by appeals to the memory of their mothers; but for certain reasons, which will be fully apparent, I saw fit to agree.

Answer 35

Oops! Nevermind that's wrong! I got the wrong person!

Answer 36

How did you find out the names?

Answer 37

Here:

I led from the press-room to the stifling office with the maps on the walls, and the red-haired man rubbed his hands. "That's something like," said he. "This was the proper shop to come to. Now, Sir, let me introduce you to Brother Peachey Carnehan, that's him, and Brother #Daniel Dravot#, that is /me/, and the less said about our professions the better, for we have been most things in our time--soldier, sailor, compositor, photographer, proof-reader, street-preacher, and correspondents of the 'Backwoodsman' when we thought the paper wanted one. Carnehan is sober, and so am I. Look at us first, and see that's sure. It will save you cutting into my talk. We'll take one of your cigars apiece, and you shall see us light up."

Answer 38

I think this link might be helpful for figuring out who is who:

Answer 39

Too be honest, I am a little confused. I'm probably over thinking it.

Answer 40

Confused about the characters or the project? Or something else?
Maybe. Sometimes a nice cup of hot chocolate or hot tea can help. :3 ;)

Answer 41

So, Carnehan is sober, and so am I. Look at us first and see that’s sure.
Daniel - and the less said about our professions the better, for we have been most things in our time--soldier, sailor, compositor, photographer, proof-reader, street-preacher, and correspondents of the 'Backwoodsman' when we thought the paper wanted one.
The narrator - I don't know
Correct?

Answer 42

No kidding about the hot chocolate, sounds good right now.

Answer 43

Yes. You can really pick anything for the narrator because he's been the one telling you the story.

Answer 44

Oh okay.

Answer 45

Is there anything else you urgently need help with? Because I sorta have to go... well I don't have to I just really, really wanna go do something. :3 So, tell me now or forever hold you piece lol.

If you need more help and I can't help you today, then I'll definitely help you Monday.

Answer 46

Thank you for you help, i'll finish it. Bye

Answer 47

Tootles! :)
