Answer:

to make the reader wonder how the slit drum helped make Kitchener famous.

Explanation:

In this chapter, the author begins by telling us about Horatio Herbert Kitchener. He was the 1st Earl of Kitchener and an important character during the First World War. However, the author talks about him in relation to the slit drum. The purpose of mentioning him is to make the reader wonder how the slit drum and Kitchener are related, and whether the drum played any role in Kitchener's success.

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why does MacGregor begin the chapter on the slit drum with facts about Horatio Herbert Kitchener, would be: To make the reader wonder how the slit drum helped make Kitchener famous.

Explanation:

"A History of The World in 100 Objects" is both a radio program from the BBC, and a book from British Museum´s directior, Neil MacGregor in which, through a selected group of 100 objects present in the Museum, the history of the world is told and joined together. It is of great interest the way that MacGregor not only narrates about these wonderful objects, all of which ended up in British hands, but also the span of history they portray, showing the importance of the hand of England in maintaining such historical artifacts.

MacGregor also ties each of the objects to historical moments and characters in English history, and one such object is the slit drum, an artifact from Sudan that was found and presented to Queen Victoria by Horatio Herbert Kitchener.

The tying of these two: the historical slit drum, and Kitchener allow the reader of MacGregor´s book not only wonder, but guess, how such an artifact, that could still not be dated when Kitchener found it, give him such fame. He could not have known then that what had been discovered, marked such an important historical moment and that he would become a central figure.

For whom the bell tolls poem
mr Goodwill [35]
"For whom the bell tolls" is a line from a poem by John Donne (pronounced like "Dunn") written in the early 1600s. Hemingway used a line from the poem as the title of a novel he wrote in the 20th century.

The poem goes like this (the copyright is in the public domain):

<span>No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.</span>
