Comprehension Check • When Henry arrives in London he had no food, no shelter, and no money, he was basically destitute. • When Henry opens the envelope from the two English gentlemen he was amazed because the envelope contained a million pound bank note. • Henry was able to help Lloyd Hastings without spending the million-pound bank by using his name and his recommendation and his name, and then everyone would buy it because it was his name.

2. When Henry has the million pound bank note affects him because he had to be more careful so no one takes the money, and so that no one will try to hurt him. Henry also gets affected because she gets special treatment and famous, Henry then gets invited to the ambassadors dinner, gets all the fancy clothes, he got the best food, and he gets the best hotels.

4. When Henry gets rich I think that the people’s attitude changes towards him because the people give him free things, and the restaurant man gives him free money so that he will keep coming back. The barber shops and such sell him expensive things so that other people will but it too because “Henry has it.” The people on the streets seems very excited and happy that he was in their town

6. Featherstone’s bet to me was rude and disrespectful to Henry because they placed this bet on him without telling him, not only that they were betting either he would go to jail, or starve to death. So they bet on him when they could have been trying to help him. On the other hand I though that it was a good thing that they placed the bet on him because he fell in love with the girl of his dreams in two minutes without even having his glasses. I believe that it was also a good thing because at the end of the story he got a lot of money, and got to marry the woman of his dreams.

8. In the story they treated Henry very well, and in life today I think that they do that as well to the people better off with their money situation, and celebrities in life today as well. When the rich people and celebrities go into a sort the managers usually get very excited that the person is shopping there, and may give out free clothes to them so that the store will have support and other people will but their clothes because they say that person wearing it. The people in the stores or whatever will ethier be rude about it
