The Most Important Events

1. The Wager

Description
Phileas Fogg spends most of his time at the Reform Club where he eats
his meals and plays cards with his friends. It is during a card-playing session
that Fogg gets involved in a discussion about a bank robbery and the possibility
of travelling around the world in 80 days. His wager of twenty thousand pound,
with Andrew starts his journey around the world. Of course, back then, this
would have been near to impossible, for they did not have the technology we
have today. If he fails to make it back to the club in exactly 80 days, he will lose
half of his fortune. This highlights the characteristic of Phileas as a very
determine person when he agrees to wager half of his fortune just to prove that
he will be back on Saturday, December 21st at 8.45 p.m.
Besides, when his friends challenge him to complete the journey in a short
span of 80 days, Fogg is extremely excited and confident to take up this
challenge. He believes that one can make it if one is precise and efficient
enough. Being a very punctual, meticulous and strict person, it is possible for
Phileas Fogg to succeed.

4. Voyage on the Henrietta

Description
On their way to Liverpool, Phileas and his companions had missed out on
their ship, the China. However, Phileas Fogg was still calm and he was
resourceful and determined enough to go and find himself a ship to take them to
Liverpool. He never loses his hope even though he only has little time left.
Luckily, Phileas found a small ship which was heading to Bordeaux and
was able to buy their way on the ship, the Henrietta. 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. They burnt the coal
and kept the Henrietta going at full steam. However, on December 16, the ships
engineer told Phileas that they were almost out of coal.
Once again, Phileas Fogg showed his resourcefulness and determination
to complete his journey when he decided to buy over the ship from captain
Speedy. At first Captain Speedy refused but after Phileas reached into his
pocket and offered a very large roll of money, he quickly changes his mind. Over
the next few days the crew burnt parts of the ship to keep it going.
Finally, with just over nine hours to go, they arrived at the port in Liverpool.

SAMPLE QUESTION (1)

Based on one of the novels, write about a character you like most.
SAMPLE ANSWER 1
Based on the novels above, I would like to choose Around The World In 80 Days written by Jules
Verne . 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 2
Based on one of the novels, write about a character you find interesting. Give evidence from the
novel to support your answer
SAMPLE ANSWER 2
Based on the novel Around The World In 80 Days written by Jules Verne, the character which I find
interesting is the main character, Phileas Fogg.
He is said to have an interesting character because he is a very calm person. He did not
even nag to anyone when he was imprisoned. He just sat there and looked 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.
Brave is also his characteristic that I find interesting as he helped Auoda who was going to
be killed by the bandits and also bravely fought the bandits when they tried to catch Auoda once again on
the train.
So these are some of the reasons why I said that Phileas Fogg is an interesting character.

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 support 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, Passerpartout managed to pull the brakes and the
train stopped but unfortunately he was taken away with other passengers by the bandits.
It was an excitement part as Philleas Fogg wanted to save Passepartout 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 Passepartout 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 Passepartout.

a) We must be a brave/determine person
Jules Verne, the writer of "Around the World in 80 Days" has taught us many valuable lessons through
his story. One of the lessons is that we must be a brave/determine person.
This lesson can be seen in the main character, Phileas Fogg. He is indeed a very brave / determine
person when he agrees to wager half of his fortune just to prove that he will be back on Saturday,

December 21st at 8.45 p.m. It has all begun during a card-playing session at the Reform Club, Fogg gets

too.

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 pass 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, Passepartout 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 readers interest. Knowing that Foggs hurried journey around the world would not be
interesting enough without entwined sub themes. Verne adds the theme of Fixs 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 Foggs 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 Fixs
unfortunate luck and gives him some money. The manner in which Fogg deals with Fix is truly gentleman
like.

c) Fogg and Aoudas 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 Foggs idea and it is Passepartout 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 Aoudas 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 dutys sake. He is extremely careful with her and is
concerned about her safety. Passepartout can recognize Aoudas 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 Aoudas love was more
important than winning a challenge.
The theme of Fogg and Aoudas 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.

RALAT SLOT 1 AROUND THE WORLD

Sample question 1:
Based on ONE of the novel above, write on a character that is determined to achieve success. Give
evidence from the novel to support your answer.
Sample answer 1 (a)
Based on the novel Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne, there are many characters
portray in it and I think a character that is determined to achieve success is Phileas Fogg. He is a
fourty-year-old man and lives in Saville Row, London. He is very punctual person and he is also one of the
Reform Club members.
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.

Sample Answer 1 (b)

Based on the novel Around the world in 80 Days by Jules Verne, there are many characters
portray in it and I think a character that is determined to achieve success is Phileas Fogg. He is a
fourty-year-old man and lives in Saville Row, London. He is very punctual person and he is also one of the
Reform Club members.
Phileas Fogg is really a brave person and willing to do anything to get what he wants. This proves
that without high determination we could not achieve any goal in our lives. He is said a character that is
determined to achieve success when he bravely fought with the outlaws on the train by the time they were
attacked. 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 passengers. Phileas Fogg tried his best to fight the bandits to save his
friends as well as other passengers and at last he succeeded.
High determination is also clearly portrayed by Phileas Fogg when he attempted to save
Passepartout alone after knowing that Passepartout was taken away by the outlaws with other passengers.
Phileas Fogg did not even think of himself, what borthering him was the safety of his butler. Realizing that
Phileas Fogg was really determined to save Passepartout, the captain then offered thirty volunteers to help

him along the mission. At last they managed to bring back Passepartout safely. I really amazed with Phileas
Foggs determination in saving his butler.
The reasons above really support my choice and because of that it is undeniable that Phileas Fogg
is the only character that is determined to achieve success. I hope I will also be like him in facing difficulties
in my life.
Sample question 2:
Based on one novel above, write about an event that you think is the most meaningful. Provide
evidence from the text to support your answer.
Sample answer:
Based on the novel Around The World In 80 Days, written by Jules Verne, I think that the event
where Phileas Fogg fights with the outlaws on the train is the most meaningful.
I said so since the event really teaches me to be a brave person. I realized that without high
determination I could not achieve any goal in my life. The action of Phileas Fogg and his friends fight with
the outlaws on the train is the best example of bravery. 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 passengers. The train was
out of controlled and could crash anytime. Passepartout then tried to stop the train. 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
Passepartout alone after knowing that Passepartout was taken away by the outlaws with other passengers.
Phileas Fogg did not even think of himself, what bothering him was the safety of his butler. Realizing that
Phileas Fogg was really determined to save Passepartout, the captain then offered thirty volunteers to help
him along the mission. At last they managed to bring back Passepartout safely. I really amazed with Phileas
Foggs bravery in saving his butler.
The event of fighting the outlaws on the train has captured my interest throughout the story. That is
why I choose this event as the most meaningful event for me.
Note: Try to compare the response in sample answer 1(b) and sample answer 2. It is clearly seen that the
evidence used is taken from the same event that is fight with the outlaws on the train. What important here
is the three items which proves the task is fulfilled should be mentioned in the first paragraph.(the novel,
