The Accidental Tourist  

Answer  

Page No: 60 Think About It  

Answer1: Bill Bryson claimed that he was easily confused. Many times he went looking for the  lavatory in a cinema and ended up standing in an alley on the wrong side of a self-locking door.  He said that his specialty was returning to hotel desks two or three times a day and asking what  his room number was. That is why he said that he was easily confused.  

Answer2: 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.  

Answer3: 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.  

Answer4: Once on board a flight, Bryson leaned over to tie his shoelaces. At the same moment,  someone in the seat in front of him

threw his seat back into full recline and Bryson was pinned  helplessly in the crash position.  

Answer5: On one occasion while on a plane, Bryson was writing some notes in his notebook and  kept sucking on the end of his pen. The pen had leaked and his gums, teeth, tongue and chin  were all coloured with navy blue ink.  

Answer6: 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.  

Answer7: Bill Bryson’s wife asked the children to take the lids off the food for Bill because if Bill had  tried to do that himself, then he might have taken it off in such a manner that the lid would be  flying away to some part of the plane and the food might spill all over the place.  

Answer8: The title is significant because it is about a man who travels and lot and is always  confused. He gets into trouble because of his acts which are not deliberate. The story depicts  humorous travel experiences – like being pinned in a crashed position, spilling drink on a co passenger, his gums and teeth covered in ink, etc. – when the author accidently gets into trouble.  Thus, the title is apt for this story.
