2. Intended audience:
This is a book for those who find life
silly, odd, or just confusing. This
book is very much a comedy.
3. Setting:
The story begins in Britain, on Earth.
The scene quickly shifts to outer
space after the planet is destroyed.
This hasn’t happened...yet,
or you wouldn’t be reading this.
4. Protagonist:
Arthur Dent is possibly the most
average english person ever who has
his life completely thrown into
absolute chaos when his
best friend turns out to be an alien.
5. Plot synopsis:
The plot is, as the title suggests, about
Arthur’s new-found life as a space
hitchiker and the book (The Guide)
that helps him learn his way
around a universe that turns out to be
weirder that he ever imagined.
6. Audio/Visual joy:
There is british miniseries from the
seventies which is hilarious while
staying closer to the book and a recent
movie which is briefer but
also very funny. Check the next slide.
