Summary of ch the accidental tourist

Answer 1

The Accidental Tourist is set in Baltimore, and looks into the life of Macon Leary, and the trials and tribulations that he has to struggle through in order to reach ultimate happiness. He is a travel guide writer whose son was shot at a fast-food restaurant a year previously, causing a rift between him and his wife, Sarah. Lost in grief, they find their marriage deteriorating until she eventually moves out. After a fall involving his dog, Edward, Macon moves back into his family home with his eccentric siblings.

Macon hires Muriel Pritchett to train his dog. She is a quirky young woman with a sickly son, Alexander, and he discovers that he has struck up a bond with the two of them. Muriel is the opposite of Macon’s wife, Sarah, which is perhaps what attracts him to her. She is talkative, brash, much less ‘classy’, and is fond of wearing odd outfits. He is continuously astonished by Muriel’s insightfulness, strength and enthusiasm, as well as her peculiar habits and uncanny knack for listening. Macon has an innate love for the familiar, and this creates quite a struggle between the two of them.

Over time, Macon becomes attached to Muriel and her son, and, despite his misgivings, he moves in with them. When Sarah becomes aware of this situation, however, she decides to reconcile with him, and Macon is forced to make a difficult decision between two women he cares immensely about. He has to make daunting decisions about his future.

The novel ends ambiguously, allowing the reader to make a decision about which woman Macon chooses in the end.

Answer 2

The accidental tourist is a story of a traveller Bill Bryson . He wanted to have a flyer of the whole world. But because of his undesirable habits he is unable to have it in his full life .

He wanted to have control on his habits but unfortunately he was unable to do it . Once he locked his finger along the strip of the bag and then had to face injury in his finger . A lot of blood pour of out of his finger. And whenever he went anywhere to visit , he forgot his room number and had to go to the reception many times. He found himself locked in the lavatory.

Once he was writing something and was having pen in hand , then he was talking to a lady Also. In talks he didn't get to know when the ink started flowing and he found that the ink goes in his mouth and all his teeth became blue.

That's why he was unable to have the flyer . He got many chances of frequent flyer.
