Dear Student,
Given below are the answers to two of your questions. Kindly post each of the others separately in new threads.
2. Uncle Podger raised a hue and cry when he started the job. He took off his coat and began fixing the picture. First he sent the girl out for bringing six pence worth of nails. Then he sent one of the boys after her to tell her the size of the nail. He then asked for his hammer, ruler, ladder, kitchen chair, spirit level etc. He lifted the picture, but dropped it. It came out of its frame. He cut himself in saving the glass. Then he looked for his handkerchief which was in his coat pocket. But he forgot where he had put his coat. he shouted for it. But, soon he saw that he had been sitting on it. When he started fixing the picture again, he dropped the hammer. He took the ruler to measure the line but the tape slipped and the string shifted. And when he was ready to mark, everything got messed up. In the same manner, Harris always volunteered to help and lead the others, but ended up assigning the job to others. In other words, both of them were bossy and loved to supervise the work done.
4. A text is considered a travelogue when it provides a description about the places visited and the experience of the traveller. This is true in the case of the novel 'Three Men in a Boat' as it gives a detailed picture of the places visited by the three men. Places like Kingston also give the reader an idea about the history of the place, which is an apt feature of a travelogue. Also, the experiences of the three men, during their travel, is described in the novel. Therefore, the text can be considered to be a travelogue. However, the narration and the technique devised by the author in explaining the trip compels one to admit that the novel is a humorous story about the experiences of the three men. There are many instances in the story that adds to the theme of humour and friendship.
