KIM X -- chapter 5.2: Injia's a Wild Land

Begin reading at: "They found the lama where he had dropped."
  1. "...once a Sahib is always a Sahib...."  This interpretation of Kim's heritage makes sense coming from imperialistic England; since we're dealing a bit with politics right now, how might an American approach Kim differently?
  2. "Kimball, I suppose you want to be a soldier?  . . .  "...and you should be grateful that we're going to help you."  Explain Bennett's forceful and indignant perspective here.
  3. From his current perspective, which would Kim have preferred: the brief, though likely severe, beating and releasing if he'd been solely judged a native beggar, or his current predicament of, essentially, kidnapping and enslavery to a British school?  What has this situation done to his attitude toward his father's prophecy?
not exactly Kim's destination....  (wikipedia)
