1. Evelyn                      Used humor; thrived by keeping busy

                                    by occupying herself with a little job

                                    hunting. Was very friendly and open

                                    to the new situation she was in.

2. Mrs. Hardcastle        Adapted with an aggressive approach

to get what she wanted. (Taking Sonny’s

door equipped room)

3. Mr. Graham              Although it was a more rugged approach

                                    than Evelyn’s, he interacted quite nicely

                                    with some kids playing Cricket, and even

                                    let them win out of sheer kindness.

4. Mr. Ainslie                Felt curious and explored a little and

                                    became intrigued by the temples. He was

                                    more adventurous than his spouse.

5. Mrs. Ainslie                                                                                      Felt uncomfortable and

                                                                                                            disliked the idea of

                                                                                                            exploration and stayed in the

hotel instead of going out

with her husband.

6. Mrs. Donnelly                                                                                   Saw the whole experience as

                                                                                                            unfortunate but unavoidable

                                                                                                            because of her hip surgery.

                                                                                                            She was quite bitter about it

                                                                                                            and was not afraid to show it.
