Time setting
1. The different time zones that Phileas Fogg passes through on his journey
enables him to gain a day by the time he arrives in Liverpool.
2. This is due to the International date Line (IDL), an imaginary line located
on the 180 line of longitude that passes through the Pacific ocean which
separates two consecutive calendar days.
3. As Fogg travels east from Yokohama, Japan towards San Francisco in the
United States of America, he gains an additional day which enables him to
win the wager even though he has lost some time in Liverpool when he is
arrested by Detective Fix on the charges of the bank robbery.
Social setting
1. Victorian era a long period of prosperity for the British people economic
and industrial progress while its colonies stretched across the world.
2. The time when advances in printing and communication enabled news and
important events to be available to the public ( the wager started when
they read about an article about world travel in 80 days)
3. English society upper class, middle class and the working class. Phileas
Fogg is in the upper class society ( evidence personal butler, member of
Reform Club, house in upper class neighbourhood he has no worries
about his finances and work)
THEMES/MESSAGES evidence
CHARACTER
Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the
character that I like is Phileas Fogg. I like Phileas Fogg because he is disciplined.
He wants everything done with perfect timing. For example, he wakes up at
precisely eight oclock in the morning and has breakfast exactly twenty three
minutes later.
Furthermore, Phileas Fogg is patient. He does not panic easily if things are not
done his way. Although the ship falls behind schedule, he remains calm.
In conclusion, these are the reasons why I like Phileas Fogg. He is a role model.
His discipline and patience are admirable.
CHARACTER
Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the
character that I admire is Phileas Fogg. I admire him because he is kind. He
wants everyone who travels with him to be comfortable and safe. He makes sure
that Aouda has her own cabin and provides everything she needs. He also offers
to pay Passepartouts bail of two thousand pounds so that Passepartout need not
go to jail.
I have chosen the novel entitled Around the World in 80 Days written by
Jules Verne. The novel tells about a gentleman named Phileas Fogg who goes
around the world in 80 days with his butler, Jean Passepartout as they embark on
journey which is full of adventures and surprises.
The most interesting setting is the hut where Aouda is imprisoned by the
kidnappers. This setting is the most interesting setting because it is the place
where Phileas Foggs rescue actions start. First and foremost, Phileas Fogg waits
until it is dark and goes to the hut, he cuts open the hut and rescues Aouda who
looks half-dead. In addition to this, Phileas Fogg quickly runs and climbs onto
Kiouni when the bandits chase after them. Phileas Fogg safely tucks Aouda in
one of the howdahs with her still sleeping soundly. Last but not least, to make
sure Aouda is safe, Phileas Fogg offers to take Aouda to Hong Kong, his next
destination.
In conclusion, the most interesting setting in the novel is the hut where
Aouda is imprisoned by the kidnappers. This place is the most interesting place
because it is the place where Phileas Foggs rescue actions start. Finally, the two
of them are safe. They get married and live happily ever after.
