Why is the setting important to the story? only the british people are kindly to mongooses, so the story could not happen anywhere else. the animals are particular to one location, so the story would be different if it occurred elsewhere. the setting is not important and has little influence on the story overall. it could only occur in the 1900s because british people do not live in india anymore.

I'm not sure if these are answers? BUT I would say the setting explains what's happening and where they are, which give you a better idea on what's happening and lets you imagine, and understand the story more clearly.

idk= i don't know the answer

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
