Introduction
A novel is a fictional piece of prose usually written in a narrative style. Novels tell stories, which are typically defined as a series of events described in a sequence. There have been stories and tales for thousands of years, but novels must combine a few unique characteristics in order to be defined as such. First, a novel is written down, rather than told through an oral account. Secondly, novels are meant to be fictional in form, differentiating them from myths, which are said to have their basis in reality or theology. Although some modern scholars argue differently, there is no truly established guideline for length, point-ofview, or even establishment of a moral or philosophical point in novels. Throughout the centuries, the novel stumbled along with great waxing and waning in popularity. Many modern examples held up as great novels were written throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, when novels finally gained a permanent position as an acceptable form of literature. Since that time, novels have become the most common form of published literature, far outpacing the published plays, poetry, and works of non-fiction that once held sway over the literate world. Novels are often beloved for their creation of spectacular worlds, compassionate characters, and carefully thought-out arguments. They are often seen as a boundless realm of exploration and creativity, with sub-genres springing up to include nearly every type of subject that can be written about. A novel requires only imagination and talent to create massive worlds and detailed characters. There are certain elements which every novel has and these are: plot setting characterisation theme style and presentation
Plot This is what happens in the novel; it is the author's arrangement of the story. Key points to note: There can be a logical development of events with a careful linking of scenes. There can be a series of apparently unrelated scenes which are not shown to be connected until the end of the novel - there should be a beginning, a middle and an end. The plot should be plausible, but there can still be room for the element of surprise. There should be conflict, either within the central characters or between characters, or between characters and their environment. The climax of the story is the highest point of interest, the moment when the conflict is most intense, the time when the consequences of a character's actions become inevitable and when all the main points of the plot merge. The denouement is when all the little mysteries in the plot are revealed and all the loose ends are tidied up. The pace of the novel slows with the denouement.
Sub-plot This is a sequence (or sequences) of events that parallels the main plot; it can closely resemble the main plot or it can diverge in significant ways in order to highlight the main plot. Setting The setting of a novel encompasses a number of different, but linked elements: time - day or night, summer or winter, the historical period (an actual date) place - inside or outside, country or city, specific town and country, real or fictional social - the minor characters who take little part in advancing the plot, but whose presence contributes to the realism of the novel mood and atmosphere - eerie, dangerous, menacing, tense, threatening, relaxing, nostalgic, happy, light-hearted etc.
Characterisation Characters in a novel are the vehicles by which the author conveys to us his or her view of the world. Key points to note: We learn about individual characters from their own words and actions, from what other characters say about them and the way others act towards them. Characters help to advance the plot. Believable characters must grow and change in response to their experiences in the novel.
Theme This is the central idea which runs through the novel, the authors purpose in writing. Key points: It is the point of view from which the author is writing and there may be a moral value to the story. The theme gives the story focus, unity, impact and a 'point'. The theme becomes clear by looking at what happens to the major characters and their involvement with other elements of the story.
Symbols These are often used to help clarify a theme and can be anything from a single object (a key, a necklace, a stone), a place (the beach, an airport, a house), a repeated type of object (a dark car, a woman in sunglasses, an eagle flying overhead), a shape (diamonds, circles, crucifixes), a gesture (wiping glasses, lighting a pipe, a hand in a pocket), a colour, a sound, a piece of music, poetry; to a fragrance (the smell of new-mown grass, cigar smoke). Symbols are used to give intangible ideas and emotions a visibility and solidity that makes the reader notice them. Symbols can help to give unity to the plot - a recurring symbol is used to link different events and characters.
Irony This is the revelation of the unexpected consequences of actions and words. Irony can add interest, humour and impact to the novel. It can give depth to characters, tighten the plot, help to define the characters and contribute to our understanding of the author's theme.
Style This is the way the story is written. There are four main ways a story can be presented and countless combinations of these: The central character tells the story in his or her own words. A non-central character tells the story. The author refers to all characters in the third person, but reveals only what can be seen, heard or thought by a central character. The author refers to each character in the third person and describes what most or all of the characters see, hear and think; the author can also describe events which do not concern any of the characters.
The author can adopt: a subjective point of view, which means he or she judges and interprets the characters for the reader an objective view, in which the author presents events and allows the reader to make judgements an author can use flashbacks to fill in background
Language The language used by the author also reveals the theme and purpose of the novel: The complexity of sentence and paragraph structure, the use of humour, satire and irony, imagery and other poetic devices and word choice all contribute to our appreciation of the characters and events which involve them. The reader can be left totally unconcerned about the fate of the characters or be moved by some tragic end to the story.
AUTHORS BACKGROUND
Jules Gabriel Verne was born in 1828, in Nantes, France. He is considered to be the father of modern science fiction and the creator of many imaginary inventions. Verne studied law in Paris, and from 1848 until 1863 wrote opera librettos and plays. His interest in science and geographical discovery led him to write on the possibility of exploring Africa in a balloon. Verne rode a wave of 19th-century interest in science and invention to enormous popular favour. Laying a carefully documented scientific foundation for his fantastic adventure stories, he forecast with remarkable accuracy many scientific achievements of the 20th century. He anticipated flights into outer space, submarines, helicopters, air conditioning, guided missiles, and motion pictures long before they were developed. Vernes best-known work is Around the World In Eighty Days (1873). Among his other classic books are Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1874); From the Earth to the Moon (1873); Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1873); and Mysterious Island( 1875). Vernes works have been the source of many films. Around the World in 80 Days was made into a highly successful movie in 1956. The desire to perform a work which will endure, which will survive him, is the origin of man's superiority over all other living creatures here below. It is this which has established his dominion, and this it is which justifies it, over all the world. -The Mysterious Island, Ch. 57Biography written by C. D. Merriman

NOVEL
Synopsis
The story begins in England. We are introduced to Fogg, a wealthy, solitary, unmarried man with regular habits. The source of his wealth is not known and he lives modestly. He fires his former butler, James Forster, for bringing him his shaving water two degrees too cold. He hires as a replacement, Passepartout, a Frenchman of about 30. Later that day in the Reform Club, he gets into a conversation with his fellow card players as to whether it is possible to go around the world in eighty days. He believes it is possible and is challenged to complete the adventure with a bet of 20,000 pounds. This is the beginning of the entire plot and from then on we see how Fogg goes around the world and we witness the amazing adventures that he has with his companions. While disembarking in Egypt, he is watched by a Scotland Yard detective named Fix, who has been despatched from London in search of a bank robber. Because Fogg matches the description of the bank robber, Fix mistakenly believes Fogg to be the criminal. Since he cannot secure a warrant in time, Fix goes on board the steamer to Bombay. During the voyage, Fix gets acquainted with Passepartout, but does not reveal his purpose for following them on the journey. The main plot is based on Foggs travels, while the sub-plot surrounds the suspicion that Fogg might be a clever robber. Passepartout too wonders whether his master might be a robber though in his heart he has ample trust in Foggs integrity. The plot moves ahead with Fogg striving through various obstacles to reach London in time. He goes through Brindisi, Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York and finally Liverpool. Fix arrests Fogg at Liverpool. Fogg is unable to arrive in London as planned. He thinks that he has missed the deadline when in reality, he reached London a full day earlier. Thus Fogg wins the wager and in the course of his travels, he finds himself a worthy, charming and beautiful wife in Aouda too.

Elements
PLOT SUMMARY
CHAPTER 1 The main character, Phileas Fogg is introduced as unusually preoccupied with punctuality . He plans every bit of every day and has, thus, never deviated from this schedule as far as anyone can tell. At the point where we meet Fogg, he is in need of a new butler; his last one made the grave mistake of bringing him shaving water that was eighty-four degrees, rather than the specified eighty-six. Fogg's new servant, Jean Passepartout, arrives at his home precisely twenty-two minutes after eleven on the first day. Jean is quite pleased with his master and his new station, because he wishes to settle down and he has heard that Fogg rarely travels. Fogg tells Passepartout to settle in and then sets out for his gentleman's club at the same time that he does every day. CHAPTER 2 At the Reform Club, Fogg and his friends discuss a recent bank robbery and the The Daily Telegraph says that the robber is a gentleman. Rewards are offered and when the friends wonder where the thief could have gone, Fogg declares that it is possible to go around the world in eighty days. He bets twenty thousand pounds against Andrew that he will make the tour of the world in eighty days or less. Fogg decides to take the train to Dover that very evening and tells his challengers that he would be back in the Reform Club, on Saturday, the 21 st of December. CHAPTER 3 Fogg tells Passerpartout that they shall be travelling light. Passepartout packs several modest carpetbags, containing the wardrobes of his master and himself. Fogg carries two timetables showing the arrival and departure of steamers and trains. Passepartout is told to take care of the carpetbag which contains Foggs twenty thousand pounds. Two first class tickets for Paris are bought and both men are off on their journey.

CHAPTER 4 Fogg and Passepartout travel by train to Dover and sail to Paris from there. They take a train to Turin, Italy and then proceed to Brindisi. Then, the board a steamer, the Magnolia for the Suez Canal. There, the two men await the arrival of the steamer, the Mongolia one of them being Detective Fix, who had been dispatched from England in search of the bank robber. It was his responsibility to look out for all suspicious looking people. Passepartout comes up to him and politely asks if he could point out the English consulate, at the same time showing Foggs passport which he wishes to validate. Fix insists that the description of Fogg in the passport is identical with that of the bank robber, which he has received from Scotland Yard. Instantly, Fix sends a telegram to London stating that Fogg is the bank robber and a warrant of arrest be sent to Bombay. CHAPTER 5 Fix and Passepartout strike a friendship and Fix gains more knowledge of Phileas Fogg. They arrive earlier in Bombay and both the master and butler have tickets for the great railway that will take them to Calcutta. Unfortunately, Passepartout enters a temple that does not allow foreigners. The warrant for the arrest of Fogg does not arrive .The Indian police say that the matter is in the hands of the London office. CHAPTER 6 The train they are on stops suddenly as the railroad is not finished and the travellers will have to find their own way. Fogg buys an elephant,Kiouni, for two thousand pounds and finds a young guide called Ali to take him, Passepartout, Auoda and Sir Francis on their journey. CHAPTER 7 Ali takes the trio through a short cut to save time when suddenly they meet a group of bandits who have kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy merchant. They decide to save the kidnapped Aouda by breaking down the walls of the hut where she has been kept. CHAPTER 8 Once they reach Allahabad, Phileas Fogg presents Ali with Kiouni, the elephant. On a train to Benares, Aouda wakes up and thanks the men for saving her. Fogg reassures her and offers to take her with them to Hong Kong. CHAPTER 9 Just as they are about to board the Hong Kong steamer, Passepartout is arrested and taken to stand before a judge on the charge of illegally entering a temple with foot wear. Phileas Fogg pays a large amount of money for Passepartouts bail. Passepartout is very upset with the fact that his master has to pay such a large sum of money on his behalf. They immediately board Rangoon, the ship that is to leave for Hong Kong. Detective Fix is very angry because of Foggs excessive spending. Fix is worried that by the time the journey ends and Fogg is caught, there will be very little money left as his reward.
11
CHAPTER 10 Passepartout begins to wonder on the coincidence of Detective Fix being on the same journey as his master and questions him. Their journey on the Rangoon towards Hong Kong is not too smooth. The weather is rough and the steamer reaches Hong Kong a day later. A pilot informs Fogg that the Carnatic would leave Hong Kong for Yokohama and Fogg is pleased as he had thought that he had missed the ship. Aoudas relative is not in Hong Kong anymore and it is decided that she will accompany Fogg to Europe. CHAPTER 11 Fix decides to tell Passepartout the secret of his mission and offers to share a meal with the Frenchman. Fix explains to Passepartout his real purpose as a detective and Passepartout is shocked. The loyal butler does not believe a word Fix says and is upset. Someone comes along and knocks Passepartout out. Fix is happy because he assumes that Fogg will miss the Carnatic. However, Fogg hires the Tankadere to get them to Shanghai to catch the Carnatic. They are once again on course. CHAPTER 12 Passepartout has managed to board the Carnatic despite being hit in the head. He goes looking for Fogg on the ship but does not find either his master or Aouda. He is very angry with Fix for acting so deceitfully. Passepartout reaches Yokohama on the 13 th and is both penniless and hungry. He trades his clothes for the Japanese attire and joins an acrobatic troupe. While performing the human pyramid, he tumbles and sees his master and Aouda. They leave after paying the theatre manager some compensation and are on their way to America. CHAPTER 13 Fogg, Aouda and Passepartout sail in the General Grant from Yokohama to San Francisco. Fix is aboard the ship but hides away from Passepartout. He is frustrated that he does not have the warrant to arrest Fogg. When he finally meets Passepartout, he explains that only in England can it be decided whether Fogg is guilty or not. They both decide to be allies and Passepartout warns Fix not to be treacherous. They buy train tickets to New York but as the train approaches the Rocky Mountains, it stops because a bridge is out and there is no way to cross it. But a man called Colonel Proctor suggests that the train move at full speed and they could go across before the bridge falls apart completely. They cross the river in seconds just as the bridge falls behind them.
12
CHAPTER 14 As the train moves along its course, it is suddenly attacked by a band of outlaws. They swarm the carriages and fight with the passengers. The conductor, who is attacked, cries that if the train is not stopped, it will surely crash. Passepartout hears this too and manages to slip under the train carriages. He removes the safety chains and a violent jolt separates the train and the engine. The train comes to a standstill near Kearney Fort station. The soldiers of the fort hear the commotion and rush to help. The outlaws run away and it is found that several are missing, including Passepartout. Fogg goes with the soldiers to save him, but, they miss the train to New York. Fix helps to get a sled to New York. However, they miss the steamer, The China, to Liverpool. CHAPTER 15 With nine days to go, Fogg pays Anthony Speedy, the captain of Henrietta, to take them to Bordeaux but instead convinces the crew to take them to Liverpool. Fix is upset with Foggs generous ways and Passepartout is uneasy knowing that his master is spending a lot of money just to make it back to London on time. They encounter both bad weather and a lack of coal but in the end, land in Liverpool, only to be arrested by Fix. CHAPTER 16 Fogg is jailed and he has only nine hours left to return to the Reform Club to win his bet. Fix rushes in to apologise that the real robber has been arrested. Fogg is released. He returns to London on a special train but he thinks he is five minutes late and has lost the bet. CHAPTER 17 Fogg, Aouda and Passepartout return to the house in Savile Row. Fogg is calm although he has spent most of his fortune. Aouda asks Fogg whether he would like to have her as his wife. He confesses his own love for her. Passepartout is instructed to make their wedding arrangements on the following day, Monday. When he goes to meet the Reverend, he realizes that the marriage cannot take place the next day, because it is still a Sunday. It is not a Monday, as Fogg, Aouda and Passepartout think. Passepartout runs to inform his master and they realise that they have gained time while travelling eastward. In reality, they have reached London twenty four hours earlier. Fogg manages to reach the Club at the stipulated time. In the end, Fogg not only won the bet but also a charming wife.

What time is it? Phileas asked. Passepartout pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it carefully. Twenty-two minutes after eleven, sir. (p 3)
Appreciative / Grateful Passepartout is appreciative of all the good things in his life.
Unlike his boss, Passepartout truly enjoyed the scenery. He took every chance he could get to stand on the deck and watch what passed by. (p 32) The new shoes were Indian slippers decorated with false pearls. Passepartout had never owned anything so lovely. (p 41) Passepartout sat back down and looked out the window.

Truthful / Honest Passepartout is an honest man.
Hes making a tour of the world. ... Yes, and in eighty days... Passepartout said. (p 29) The monsieur is a rich man. Hes carrying a large amount of new bank notes with him and hell do anything to win. (p 29) Passepartout always answered honestly, but he didnt know much. (page 34)
Mr Passepartout, you are charged with illegally entering a temple. These shoes are the proof that you were indeed there, the judge said. My shoes! Passepartout said loudly. So you do admit you were there? Passepartout nodded slowly. (page 58)
Ignorant Passepartout is ignorant about other peoples culture.
When the show had passed, Passepartout found himself drawn to a temple. What he didnt know was that foreigners were forbidden from entering these temples. It was against the law for him to go in! (Page 37)
19
Quick Thinking Passepartout is an astute person as he is quick thinking when it comes to problemsolving.
Well have to go by foot, Phileas decided. Passepartout looked down at his new shoes. They would not make a fifty-mile walk. He looked around him for a minute and then said, Monsieur, I think I might have found another way! (p 43) Whats that, Passepartout? Phileas said. An elephant! (p 43)
Protective Passepartout is protective toward mankind and righteousness.
I think youre right, Phileas said. She must be a princess. Look at the way she is dressed. I have twelve hours to spare we must save her! Agreed! Sir Francis said. Agreed! Passepartout. (p 49) When he saw Fix arrest his monsieur, Passepartout tried to attack the detective in a rage. (p 130)
Defensive Passepartout is defensive whenever the identity of Fogg is being questioned
Passepartouts mouth dropped wide open. A robber! he said. He is not a robber! He is the most honorable of all men! (pgs 75-76) So now you know my monsieur is an honest man, Passepartout said. And youve given up this crazy idea that he is the bank robber? (p 97) No, we are not friends. But we can be allies. I should warn you, though. I will wring your neck at the first sign of you acting up like you did in Hong Kong! (p 97)
Kind Passepartout is so kind that he does not want to hurt anyone, if possible.
The poor girl lay on the bed. She looked halfdead. Passepartout carefully picked her up. (p 51)
20
Watchful / Vigilant Passepartout is always vigilant. He is alert to what is happening around him.
As the days passed, Passepartout began to think it was quite strange that he should keep running into Mr Fix. At once, Passepartout had a chilling thought. He must be following us! Thats it! Passepartout thought. He must be a spy sent from the Reform Club. And my monsieur is such an honest man thats just terrible! (p 63) About halfway through the twelve-day trip, the weather turned. The sea started to roll heavily as a storm brewed. The ship fell behind schedule. This upset Passepartout, but Phileas Fogg remained calm. (p 65)
Has a strong conscience Passepartout is troubled when he commits an offence.
Passepartout hung his head in shame and promised that it wouldnt. The last thing he wanted was to make the monsieur unhappy with him. (p 38) Mr Passepartout, you are charged with illegally entering a temple. These shoes are the proof that you were indeed there, the judge said. My shoes! Passepartout said loudly. So you do admit you were there? Passepartout nodded slowly. (p 50) With a heavy heart, Passepartout followed his monsieur. He did not enjoy having his boss spend money on mistakes that he had made. (p 60) That might cause problems between Phileas Fogg and the last thing Passepartout wanted to do was cause the monsieur more trouble! (p 64)
21
Trustworthy Passepartout is trustworthy. Anyone can rely on him to do something properly.
Passepartout held on tightly to the carpetbag with monsieurs money. (p 18) Phileas booked rooms for them at the Club Hotel. They would stay there until they boarded the steamer tomorrow... With that taken care of, he left Aouda with Passepartout to keep her company and set off to find her cousin Jeejah Jeejeebhoy. (p 69) Fix decided that now was the right time to tell Passepartout everything. He knew it was the only way to keep Phileas Fogg in Hong Kong until the warrant arrived. He asked the butler if he wanted to share a meal with him and the two went into a small restaurant near the wharf. (p 72) Stay! What I have to say concerns Mr Fogg. Fix placed his hand on Passepartouts arm and said quietly, Youve guessed who I am? Passepartout smiled. I have indeed. (p 73) Then you must know that my job involves a lot of money, Fix said. Im willing to give you some if youll keep Mr Fogg in Hong Kong. Dont tell him about the ship. (p 73) Not tell him! Thats going too far, sir. I thought the members of the Reform Club were honest men. (p 73)
22
Determined Passepartout is determined and makes sure that he gets what he wants.
Passepartout got up and started to explore the ship. But he didnt see anyone who looked like either Phileas Fogg or Aouda. He went into the dining room to see if he could find either of them, but they were not there. (Chapter 12) By the next morning, poor Passepartout knew he needed to eat soon. He could sell his watch, but it was very special to him. He didnt really want to part with it. After much thought, he decided to try and sing for his supper. But I am too well dressed singing, he thought, I know, Ill trade my clothes for something more Japanese. (p 88) It shall be stopped then! He started to rush forward the front of the train, but Passepartout stopped him. Stay sir! I will go. (p 110)
Comical Passepartout is comical. He has the skill to make people laugh and happy.
Passepartout had forgotten to take off his own nose. He wore it and his wings right on board the ship called the General Grant. (p 94) Passepartout had been keeping the sailors company by performing for them. His good humour put everyone in a happy mood. (p 126)

(p 21) One has a scent of them a sixth sense that combines hearing, seeing and smelling! Thats how it can tell. (p 22) The wink confused Fix. Did it mean that Passepartout knew he was a detective?

He was curious about the gentleman who had sent his butler to get his passport stamped (p 24) ... he had made a promise to himself that he wouldnt give up. He would do his duty to make sure he caught the robber... Fix had to keep his mind on his task. (p 81) He thought he had found a sure-fire way of keeping Phileas in India until he could get the proper arrest warrant (p 59) Your master is a robber. He has stolen a great deal of money from the Bank of England and Ive been sent to get it back (p 74) Fix decided to follow Phileas until the bitter end (p 96)
Persistent / Determined
Materialistic
Then you know that my job involves a lot of money, Fix said. Im willing to give you some if you keep Mr. Fogg in Hong Kong. (p 73) As for Fix, everytime Phileas paid for something, he saw his reward fading away. After all, the money he was spending belonged to the bank. The more money the robber spent, the less he had to give back to the bank. (p 124)

Aouda
Grateful / Appreciative Aouda is grateful for Honest
That would be appreciated, Aouda said quietly. Thank you again for all your kindness. (p 55)
An Persian Indian Princess rescued by Phileas Fogg and Passepartout from a group of bandits. Later, she shares the adventures of the two men.
During the first few days of the trip, Aouda spent much of her time getting to know Phileas and Passepartout. She told them her life story. Her father had been a very wealthy merchant who dealt in cotton. They had lived a wonderful life until he ran into trouble with the bandits. Then she told them about her cousin, Jeejah Jeejeebhoy, who lived in Hong Kong. (p 61) Well, Aouda said, if youll have me as your wife, Ill be your family. We can face the future together. (p 139) I think I should ask the question, she said. Now that you are rich again, would you still like to marry me? (p 143)
Caring / Considerate
But Passepartout, Aouda said. Whats become of him? We need to find him. (p 79) Meanwhile, Phileas and Aouda went to the police station to try to find Passepartout. They left a sum of money with the police so they could search for Passepartout. (p 80) Once they determined that it was safe, Aouda, Phileas, and Fix got off the train and stood on the platform. Where is Passepartout? Aouda cried. Hes not here! (p 111) Phileas tried to comfort her, but he knew what she and Fix were thinking Passepartout had been taken by the bandits! Aouda started to weep. (p 112)
25
Phileas went to bed that night with a heavy heart. Aouda did, too. She felt so bad for the kind man who had rescued her. But she didnt know what she could do to help him now. (pgs 136 and 137)
Persistent
Aouda rushed out of the station. She asked the conductor, Are you going to start? At once, maam, he replied. But the prisoners- they are not back yet, she said. We must wait for them. I will not go, she said. And you shouldnt either. Its shameful. (p 115) But it was too late to do anything differently. Passepartout sat down at the Custom House and cried. Aouda was there, too. Neither one wanted to leave until they could see Phileas. (p 131)
Anxious
Aoudas imagination carried her far away. What could have happened to Phileas and Passepartout? (p 116) Aouda spent much of her time on deck with Phileas trying to calm her down. She was truly worried about how everything would turn out. (p 126)

THEMES
MAIN THEMES
1. Perseverance and determination is the best motivation towards success Phileas Fogg is a very determined man who always puts in great effort to anything he does. Foggs determination leads him to accept a bet to travel around the world. Throughout the novel, Fogg shows his perseverance and determination by finishing what he has started and no matter how difficult the obstacle is, he always gave his best effort and overcomes the difficulty. One example of a difficult obstacle that Fogg overcame is when he and his companions decided to rescue Aouda. They had to risk their lives and their freedom to rescue the poor woman, but Passepartout and Fogg were willing to do whatever was within their reach to free her from her kidnappers. Fogg manages to prove that it is possible to go around the world in eighty days and he manages to accomplish this feat with his butler and lady friend. 2. One must be strong in mind and spirit so as to be able to face any adversities Fogg is a disciplined man, always punctual and very meticulous in his manners and way of life. This is his strength and in his travels he is always able to come up with correct decisions to overcome the obstacles he faces. 3. It is important to remain true to ones course in life Fogg, together with Passepartout and Aouda have only one mission that is to reach London before the eighty days are over. However, when they arrive, they think they have missed the bet by five minutes. Fogg, although sad, is able to accept the fact that he has lost not only the bet but also his money. He is a true gentleman. 4. Generosity Fogg is very generous and giving throughout the trip. When situations arise, he is willing to pay nearly anything in order to overcome the obstacle and move on. He compensates more than enough money to a captain of a boat so that they can use the wood as fuel for their trip.
32
MINOR THEMES
1. Genuine love overcomes obstacles The journey around the world becomes interesting when Fogg and Aouda share a genuine relationship that ends in marriage. Foggs relationship with her helps him grow as a person. She adds much happiness to his life and this bond is given some amount of importance in the novel. Their love is genuine as they decide to marry although they think they had lost the bet. Both Fogg and Aouda overcome many difficulties during their journey and their relationship blossoms into love. 2. Time is precious and once lost cannot be regained Fogg abides very strictly to time and it is this attitude of his that makes him a confident person when he accepts the bet of travelling the world in eighty days; and he wins it!

LITERARY DEVICES
Language is the dress of thought
Literary Device
Interpretation
Evidence from the text Phileas was a tall dark man with dark hair and a serious face....he had turned forty and his hair and whiskers had started to turn gray... (p 1) ...a house that was so clean that it shined. Everything had a place!...There were electric bells and long speaking tubes to help him keep in touch with the lower floors. And there was an electric clock on the mantelpiece. (p 6)
Description Clear description of the main character
Style
Descriptive writing style pays particular attention to details of the senses and to the powers of observation. Creates a lasting experience on the mind of the reader with visual imageries.
Specific and vivid details give us the clear impression of Foggs room
They rode through Sense of colour and the country smell smelling clove and nutmeg trees. They saw full, green ferns and row upon row of palm trees. (p 64)
34
Symbols (i) Clock (ii) Watch (iii) Time
The term, symbol, when used in literature is often a figure of speech in which a person, object, or situation represent something in addition to its literal meaning.
Phileas timed his life by this clock. (p 2) Your watch is slow, Phileas replied. (p 3) The Custom House clock struck one. His watch was two hours too slow. (p 132)
A clock denotes a beginning and an ending of a time period. Clocks are about time, schedules, business and the busy man. Every second is precious and we all agree that "time is money. Fogg used the clock to keep to his schedules in a disciplined manner.
Time is constantly moving forward and there is the fear that many things will not be completed within specific times.
We are going on a trip around the world. We must be back in eighty days. (p 17) Phileas Fogg woke up at precisely eight oclock in the morning. Breakfast was to be brought to him exactly twenty-three minutes later.... (p 7) Today is Wednesday, October 2. I will be back in this room at eight forty-five p.m. on Saturday, December 21... (p 15)
Definite times or periods show the very nature of a man who is highly disciplined, focused and confident that he will be able to complete all tasks within a given time limit or at precise times.
35
Juxtaposition
An act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. An act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
...you mean hes not a regular robber?! Hes a gentleman. (p 10)
The readers attention is brought to the specific details or qualities of the contrasting elements the robber is also a gentleman or acts Oh the world is quite big enough to like a gentleman OR the world is big hide one smart enough for one to fellow. hide away and not be Has the world caught but has grown grown smaller? smaller in terms of (p 11) travel time.
Foreshadowing
The use of hints or clues to suggest what will happen later in literature.
Two trumps! Ive won this hand! (p 13)
A foreshadowing that Fogg indeed wins the bet (about travelling around the world within the eighty days) and the heart of a charming lady. Fogg does come home earlier than the stipulated eighty days; only that he is not aware of it.
Correct! Philleas said. I will make a tour of the world in eighty days or less. (p 14) He felt like a clown on a vault. (p 46)
Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than".
High up in the howdah on Kiounis back, Passepartout was enjoying himself, bouncing up and down with the elephants great steps.
36
Pun
It is an idea or expression which has two meanings implied at the same time.
The names of the main characters:
1. Fogg 2. Fix
Fogg is not what his name may imply (unable to think clearly). Instead he is a disciplined, focused and a very practical man. Fix like his name suggests, is a detective who has the fixation of arresting Phileas Fogg, thinking that he is the bank robber. His mindset is very fixed and he is determined to get Fogg onto British soil to put him in jail.

The travellers sit in the howdah strapped on to the back of the elephant. Passepartout himself feels rather clownish about the whole episode but the elephant takes them across the jungles.
The travellers hang on to their dear lives when the train they are in cannot cross a bridge because the bridge is broken and they could die. Colonel Proctor who is on board suggests that if they rode over the bridge at high speed, they would surely be able to cross over without any danger. They do just that and are safe. The bridge collapses after them.

Chapter 17: The Bet Is Won! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Goes to bed with a heavy heart. She feels that it is her fault that he has to rescue her and hence, delayed him from moving on with his journey. She offers herself to be his wife, his family. He confesses his love for her and wishes to marry her. It seems that Phileas and Passepartout had forgotten to consider the different time zones around the world.

ASSESSMENT A 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 and his discipline and patience are admirable.
B 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 that she needs. He also offers to pay Passepartouts bail of two thousand pounds so that Passepartout need not go to jail. Phileas Fogg is kind as he is willing to go all out to help anyone. For example, he saves Auoda when she is kidnapped by the bandits. He had to cut open the wall of the hut to rescue her. These are some examples of how kind Phileas Fogg is. Although he is engrossed with his own problems, he still thinks of the safety of others and how to help them when they are in danger.
C MORAL VALUES
Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the moral value I want to talk about is gratitude.This moral value is shown in Passespartout and Aouda. Passepartout is grateful when Phileas Fogg saves him from going to prison. Fogg has to pay two thousand pounds for his bail. Passespartout is touched by this gesture because he knows that Fogg does not have to pay for his mistakes. Thats why he tries so hard to please Phileas Fogg all the time. Aouda is grateful for things that have been done for her. She appreciates Phileas Fogg for rescuing her from the bandits and being kind to her throughout the trip. Fogg provides a cabin for her and makes sure she is safe. In return she is willing to marry Phileas even though she knows that he has no money. Passepartout and Aouda are grateful for all the help they have received. We should always be thankful when we receive help from others.
120
EVENT
Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, one of the events that I find memorable is when Phileas Fogg and Passepartout rescue Aouda from the bandits. While travelling through the forest in India, Fogg, Sir Francis, Ali and Passepartout rescue the daughter of a wealthy merchant who is held captive in a hut by the bandits. Even though they do not know her, they go all out to save her. Another reason why this event is memorable is how the four men manage to get Aouda out of the hut. They work together to break the wall of the hut and escape from the bandits. The above event is very memorable to me because they went through a lot of trouble to save a stranger.
E THEME
Based on the novel Around The World In Eighty Days by Jules Verne, the theme of determination is clearly shown by Phileas Fogg. He puts in great effort in everything that he does. Foggs determination and perseverance led him to overcome many obstacles. One of the examples of a difficult obstacle that Fogg overcomes is when he decides to rescue Aouda. He and his companions cut through the wall of a hut to set her free. They almost lost their lives when the bandits shot arrows at them. Another example is when he goes to the extent of buying the ship from Captain Speedy just to reach Liverpool on time. When they are short of coal, he orders the crew to burn parts of the ship to keep the ship going. The examples above show the determination in Phileas Fogg.
