 *  1. Describe the **time and place** in which your novel is set. What clues within the book tell us this? || I think the the book is set in the early 1910's because the theme of this book is in the country side of England. In this book a character named Toad ask his friends to travel around the world with him by carriage the later finds an obssession of motor cars. Also there were no parking lots in the story so that tells me that motor cars probably just got invented. There were alot of thus,thee,halt and any other words that aren't realy used much anymore. || It is set in the 2010's because most of the technology in the book are being used right now. It is set in UK because the characters in it talks about it and says stuuf about their mansion in UK. ||

 *  4. Who is your favourite character and why? **Or** - Who is the character that you can most closely relate to and why? || Toad relates to me the most because he has a thick skull and he's all active and likes to be social, he also like motor cars which i like too.
