Answer:
Chapter 9 - The Accidental Tourist Exercise 60
Solution 1
Bill Bryson says, "I am, in short, easily confused. The examples he gives to justify this statement that he is easily confused are that a number of times he has gone looking for the lavatory in a cinema, but ended up standing in an alley on the wrong side of a self locking door. He also says that his speciality was returning to hotel desks two or three times a day and asking what room number he was in.
Solution 2
When the zip on his carry-on bag gives way the side of the bag flew open and everything within such as newspaper cuttings and other loose papers, a 14 ounce tin of pipe tobacco, magazines, passport, English money, film etc. were scattered over an area about the size of a tennis court.
Solution 3
His finger was bleeding as he had gashed it on the zip and as a result it was shedding blood in a lavish manner. His wife looked at him with an expression of simple wonder not anger or exasperation and said that she could not believe that he was doing that for a living.
Solution 4
Once on an aeroplane, he leaned over to tie a shoelace and at that moment someone in the seat ahead of him threw his seat back into full recline, and he found himself pinned helplessly in the crash position. It was only by clawing the leg of the man sitting next to him that he managed to get himself freed.
Solution 5
His worst experience was when he was writing important thoughts in a notebook sucking thoughtfully on the end of his pen as one does, and fell into conversation with an attractive young lady in the next seat. He amused her and then retired to the lavatory where he discovered that the pen had leaked and that his mouth, chin, tongue, teeth and gums were now a striking, scrub-resistant navy blue, and would remain so for several days.
Solution 6
Bill Bryson "ached to be suave". No, he is not successful in his mission. He would love just once in his life to rise from a dinner table without looking as if he had experienced an extremely localised seismic event, get in a car and close the door without leaving 14 inches of coat outside, wear light-coloured trousers without discovering at the end of the day that he had at various times sat on chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrup and motor oil.
Solution 7
Bill Bryson’s wife asks the children to take the lids off the food for daddy because she knows that he is very clumsy and if he tries to do it himself the lid would probably fly off and the food scatter all over the place. She is concerned because if someone helped him take off the lids there would be no food dropped on everyone’s clothes and it would cut down the laundry bills.
Solution 8
The significance of the title is that through the story “Accidental Tourist” the author reflects humorously on his various experiences as a traveller and how unlike most travellers he never manages to ever have a safe and accident free journey. Although he is a frequent traveller he always experiences catastrophes whenever he travels. Through the various experiences that he narrates one comes to the conclusion that he is an accident prone person not only while travelling but also in life in general.
Answer:
Hey mate here is your answer
1. Bill Bryson says, “I am, in short, easily confused.” What examples has he given to justify
this?
Answer: Bill Bryson cannot do a simple day to day activity without creating a mesh. He often
forgets the way to lavatory. He finds it difficult to remember his hotel room number. He can
forget almost everything which is required to carry out our routine activity. Most of us never
ponder how effortlessly we carry out our routine activity. It is all wired up in our brains. But
some people, like Bill Bryson find it difficult and almost impossible.
2. What happens when the zip on his carry-on bag gives way?
Answer: His fingers get hurt by the zip. He is bleeding profusely. All belongings in his bag are
flying across the floor of the waiting hall of the airport. He seems to be making a mockery of
himself and of civilized way of behaving at a particular place...
3. Why is his finger bleeding? What is his wife’s reaction?
Answer: His finger is hurt by getting stuck in the zip of his bag. His wife is astonished by the
way he has created a mess all around himself.
4. How does Bill Bryson end up in a “crash position” in the aircraft?
Answer: Bill Bryson leans down to tie his shoelaces. In the meantime the person on the seat ahead of him pushes back his seat. As a result he gets stuck in the kneel down position.
Certain people have this strange affinity with always getting stuck in an awkward position.
5. Why are his teeth and gums navy blue?
Answer: While pondering over his writing he was chewing on his pen. He was so careless
that he did not notice the ink getting into his mouth. It took longer for him to impress the
lady sitting next to him. For ink also it was enough time to show the bizarre effect in his
mouth.
6. Bill Bryson “ached to be suave”. Is he successful in his mission? List his ‘unsuave’ ways.
Answer: Certain unwritten rules dictate the way we should behave in public places. For
example you should know proper manners while at dinning table. It is considered uncivilized
if you burp publicly. You should not make chomping noise while eating. The list is endless.
Bill Bryson always met with some sort of accidents while following these rules. He would
always make chicken pieces fly after is fork’s stroke. If he would open the lid of some edible
chances are he would splatter it all over his clothes.
7. Why do you think Bill Bryson’s wife says to the children, “Take the lids off the food for
Daddy”?
Answer: His wife knew his knack of creating misery for himself. As a precautionary measure
she asked her children to do normal chores for their father..
8. What is the significance of the title?
Answer: The main character here is prone to create small mishaps. Especially during tour
this can lead to discomfort of fellow passengers. Think for a while, you are sitting on a
window seat in the train enjoying the beautiful scenery outside. Then somebody sitting on
the upper birth spills his favourite curry and spoils your new shirt and your mood too. Those
sort of persons are better at their homes. The way he creates accidents justifies the title,
“The Accidental Tourist”.
