1. Which information in the article adds to your understanding of the story?
2. Does knowing this information help you enjoy the story? Why? or Why not?
3. Do you think that knowing more information (about Saki or the time period) than is included in this article would help you enjoy or understand the story more? Why?

1)The Information about the Victorian-Edwardian times was very helpfull to understand better the story.
2)Knowing this information didn't help me to enjoy the story better bacause I didn't really like the story and I didn't feel the conected to the story.
3)I didn't conect to the story but I think that the information can help because there are ideas in the story that are difficult to understand.

1. In this article I read about the period in which the story was written. The fact that in the Victorians times people didn't great outsiders with open arms explains a lot.
And the article summarizes the story in a very understandable way.
2. Knowing this information didn't help me to enjoy the story, because the joy does not depends on the information or the summarizing it depends on the story itself.
3. Knowing more information about the period and about the writers himself helps to understand and makes the story reasonable. But to enjoy the story there's no need in information.
