Answers with Explanation:

1. In the context of the short story, what can we learn about the fate from the tragedy?

We can learn that just like the parrot, the dachshund, Mr. Temple and Mr. Mulholland, Billy would also turn into one of the old lady's preserved figures. The old lady wanted him because he looked handsome and perfect just like the last two guests.

2. In your opinion, what does this story teach readers about avoiding tragedy?

This story teaches readers to follow their "instinct." Billy already felt that the lady sounded crazy, then he should have left the moment she was about to take him into his room. The lady's small offer of "five and six pence a night" is questionably cheaper than the other inns. This should have already served as a warning for Billy to stay away.

3. What could Billy have done differently? cit evidence from this text, your own experience and other literature, art or history in your answer.

Billy could have continued walking towards "The Bell and Dragon" which the porter suggested, instead of choosing other places which he isn't sure about.

This story sounded similar to my experience when I don't listen to my parents. My parents would often tell me to study ahead of time before examinations. I wouldn't mind their advice and in the end, I would cram studying for the nearing examination, thus giving me a low grade.
