Why was the setting so important in the story?
The setting was extremely important in the story because it provides context why so many people died (to be more specific, why more than 16,000 people died) and shows that because they were ignorant, they were unsure of what was to come. They originally believed that the ash and fumes from the volcano just meant bad weather.
The setting was extremely important because it shows examples of the culture and their agriculture. It also shows how happy the civilization existing there was.
The setting was not at all important. They could have easily just told a story of a guy and a dog without providing any details, and the story would equally be as great. Nobody needs to know how the people died.
The setting was kinda important. The most important parts of the story was the boy and the dog and their friendship, but the setting does provide further information explaining the death of a Roman civilization.
There is no right or wrong answer. The world is just a perception, in other words a simulation. The earth is flat. The big bang is real. Afterlife doesn't exist. I'm slowly dying on the inside.
Was Bimbo's behavior, both before and after the volcano erupted, believable?
Yes, Bimbo's behavior before and after the volcano erupted was believable because before the volcano erupted the dog would often treat Tito very closely since they have been together for a while, the dog would even steal food for the both of them. After the volcano erupted Bimbo was very careful over Tito and tried to find him and help him escape.
No, Bimbo's behavior before and after the volcano erupted was not believable because before the volcano Bimbo never ran away and would behave more like a human than Tito. After the volcano erupted Bimbo would try and find his human rather than trying to escape by himself, unlike any other dog.
