Customize a license plate for Arthur Dent:
GON FAR
I chose this as a custom license plate because it represents the travels, that Arthur Dent was forced to attend through the Galaxy. Since they ended up getting pretty far, it makes sense that it says “GON FAR”.
Design a video game for Arthur Dent’s adventure with Ford: FRONT COVER BACK OF GAME In this video game, the player adventures as Arthur Dent. The player experiences waking up to Ford, randomly in a spaceship being told the Earth has been destroyed. The adventure really gets strange when the guys get sucked up from space, sure they were dead men, into a weird vortex that leads to a strange interior of a spaceship. The ultimate objective of the game is to find the secrets of the Galaxy, and discover the true answers to why 42 is the number that explains everything.
Write five headlines:
“Earth gets destroyed, two survivors escape on Volgan ship!” – This has significant meaning to the story, because it brings us back to the start, where everything went wrong. The only reason this could be a headline is that Arthur and Ford got caught by the Volgans.
“Two Hitch-hikers found aboard Volgan ship.” – This is an important headline. After they were found, Ford and Arthur were read the worst poetry in the universe, and kicked off the ship to what was almost their death.
“Ford and Arthur somehow survive getting thrown off a spaceship!” – This seems like a good headline, because no one who reads the story could possibly imagine that they would have survived such an event.
“Hitch-hikers find that 42 is the explanation to the whole universe!” – The fact that they were even that much closer to the answers they wanted to have about life, is amazing enough for a headline to get an article read.
“Hitch-hikers from Earth with Bounty headed for end of the galaxy.” – This headline is cool
