The captain of the boats is Andrew Speedy who is fifty years old, with large round eyes, bright red hair and a copper beard. The voyage went well the first few days.

The story is about an adventure around the world which has to be completed in 80 days. In the novel, a character that I like most is Phileas Fogg, the main character. I like him the most because he has a really calm characteristic. It is proven when he does not even nag to anyone although he was imprisoned. He just sits there and looks at his watch without saying a word to anyone. If I were him I would have cried as loudly as I could, knowing that I am accused in robbing a bank. I also like him because he is really brave to help Auoda who is going to be killed by bandits. He also fights with the bandits when they try to catch Auoda once again on the train. This shows that he is very brave. I think, with all the good and positive qualities portrayed in the character of Phileas Fogg, it is undeniable that he is a likeable character in the story.

SAMPLE QUESTION 3 Based on one of the novels, write about any event that you find interesting in the story.. Give evidence from the novel to your answer. SAMPLE ANSWER 3 Jules Verne has portrayed many interesting events in the novel ‘Around The World In 80 Days’ and I find the part where Philea Fogg fights with the bandits on the train is the most interesting. It started when the train suddenly stopped but not long after that it started moving again. However, a loud shouts and noises were heard from the outside. As it turned out, a gang of close one hundred men had attacked the train. They moved from car to car and took whatever they could from the poor travellers. The train was going to crash. Luckily, erpartout managed to pull the brakes and the train stopped but unfortunately he was taken away with other engers by the bandits. It was an excitement part as Philleas Fogg wanted to save epartout alone by himself and that had proven that he was really brave. If I were him I would think twice as there are so many bandits and I am really sure that I could not handle them by my own. At last the captain offered Phileas thirty volunteers to help him to fight the bandits. On the next day, at dawn Phileas Fogg and epartout were seen otheir way back and they were safe. This event actually has captured my interest throughout the story as it really shows the bravery of Phileas Fogg and epartout.

3. Major Themes a) The journey around the world in the challenged eighty days. The novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne highlights many themes. One of the themes is the journey around the world in the challenged eighty days.

This is the main theme of the novel and connected to it, is the main character, the hero of the story. Phileas Fogg is challenged by fellow whist players as to whether he can complete a journey around the world in the short span of eighty days. Fogg is extremely excited to take up this challenge, as he believes that if one is precise and efficient enough can make this journey possible. So he takes up the task and starts a hurried journey around the world. He has many ups and downs in this strenuous journey but he has a never say die attitude that sees him through. Entwined with the story of his travels is the one character who proves to be an obstacle once too often. He is the detective Fix and he suspects that, Fogg is a bank robber and that the hurried travel from one place to another is just a means of covering up the crime. So apart from natural hurdles and obstacles that Fogg has to face, he has the further machinations of detective Fix to circumvent. What is surprising is that Fogg does not suspect Fix and never smells a rat. In fact, Fogg helps Fix at more than one occasion. During the journey the focus of the author remains Fogg, his companions and their experiences. While the places that they through are described briefly they are not given any outstanding reference. They just form the background to the activities of the hero Fogg with his insurmountable, incorrigible will. The fact is that Fogg finds the love of his life-Aouda only because of this trip. At the end, Verne seems to be putting across a moral lesson-that challenges are not as important as finding true, abiding love and affection. Verne says that the heroic Fogg would not have attained as much from worldly accomplishments, as he does from finding lasting love with the charming Aouda. Fogg does win the challenge but only after an interesting episode. He himself thinks that he has reached a little late and has lost. But he and his group are unaware that they have actually reached a whole day earlier. Fortunately for them, even after they have given up, by a stroke of luck Fogg, epartout and Aouda find out that they still have a few minutes to reach the Reform Club and Fogg does! We are all glad that Fogg is the winner at the end.

b) The suspicion that Fogg might be the bank robber Jules Verne is an intelligent writer of the novel "Around the World in 80 Days" who must have known how to sustain the reader’s interest. Knowing that Fogg’s hurried journey around the world would not be interesting enough without entwined sub themes. Verne adds the theme of Fix’s suspicion that Fogg is a bank robber. The narrator relates how a well-dressed gentleman was responsible for a huge robbery at the Bank of England. If we combine that fact with the knowledge of Fogg’s eccentricities, even we as readers get a little curious as to whether Fogg could be a robber. After all Fogg could have readily accepted the challenge merely because it gave him a chance to flee London and to set out on a wild journey that would make him untraceable. This suspicion keeps us interested too, though we do realize that Fogg is an honorable man and would not commit such an attack. What Verne does manage to do is to create a mysterious aura around Fogg. We learn that he has been a sailor too in the way that he handles the ship to Liverpool. Fix follows Fogg through the world after being completely convinced that the latter is the culprit. It is Fix who delays the journey innumerable times. These delays are challenges to Fogg who deals with them brilliantly, adding further interest value to the narrative. When Fix finally manages to arrest Fogg he finds out that his conviction was completely wrong. Fogg is innocent and is so angry that he gives Fix an amazing blow on his face. Later, Fogg feels sorry for Fix’s unfortunate luck and gives him some money. The manner in which Fogg deals with Fix is truly gentleman like.

c) Fogg and Aouda’s love The novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne highlights many themes. One of the themes is love. When Fogg and his group are traveling through India, they come across a princess, who is being forced to commit ‘suttee’ (suicide) for the sake of her dead husband. It is quite uncharacteristic of Fogg to get involved in others’ affairs but he reiterates that he has some time to spare, which can be used in an

effort to save the princess Aouda. The others agree to Fogg’s idea and it is epartout who comes up with the winning trick that makes their effort successful. When Aouda comes to her senses, after the effect of opium has worn away she expresses her extreme gratefulness to her saviors. But the reader notices later that Aouda’s gratitude is combined with deep affection in the case of Fogg. She starts loving him for his nobility and his courage. Moreover, he is a handsome man. While Fogg takes utmost care of Aouda one does not know whether it is out of love, or merely for duty’s sake. He is extremely careful with her and is concerned about her safety. epartout can recognize Aouda’s affection for Fogg but he too is not sure whether Fogg would feel the same as Auoda. The fact is that Fogg does have feelings for Aouda but he places his duty above his love. It is only at the end of their journey, at London that he confesses his love for her and they decide to get married. It is their decision to marry that enables Fogg to win the bet. For it is through the priest that they learn that they had actually reached London a whole day earlier. Fogg rushes to the Reform Club and is just in time for winning the challenge. Later, Verne underlines the fact that attaining Aouda’s love was more important than winning a challenge. The theme of Fogg and Aouda’s love adds romantic interest to the story. And, we learn the lesson that love conquers all and that is why it must be placed higher than material attainments.

Andrew Stuart, his club member, had wager with him about travelling the world only in 80 days. Through his reading and general knowledge, it was not possible to carry out the journey, so he accepted the wager. His determination to make his dream comes true has captured my interest. Not only that, we knew that his success will be fruitful if he could move around the world in certain duration. Although he had met many obstacles along the journey, he still focused his mind to be a successful man. So he moved through the obstacles well. For example, he decided to save Auoda from the bandits. It can be classified as his success since he managed to save her. Besides, his journey had stopped suddenly in India because of the unfinished railway track. So he found out the alternative way. He rode the elephant with his butler, Auoda and Ali. This event shows that he is really determined to achieve success. In conclusion, Phileas Fogg has captured my interest to label him as a character that is determined to achieve success.

It started when the train suddenly stopped but not long after that it started moving again. As it turned out, a gang of close one hundred men had attacked the train. They moved from car to car and took whatever they could from the poor engers. Phileas Fogg tried his best to fight the bandits to save his friends as well as other engers and at last he succeeded.

He used all his acrobatic skills and with his bravery at last he managed to pull out the brakes and the train stopped in front of the Fort Kearney Station. I also noticed that this good attitude is portrayed by Phileas Fogg when he attempted to save epartout alone after knowing that epartout was taken away by the outlaws with other engers. Phileas Fogg did not even think of himself, what bothering him was the safety of his butler.
