I am now reading Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne. I finished Chapter 1 and am now starting  Chapter 2.  Right now in the book the narrator is talking about all these interesting and important people in the United Kingdom. A professional french man-also known as a monsieur- needed a servant so Jean Passepartout went to go and talk to him. Phileas Fogg, the professional french man, mad him his servant. So far the book is kind of boring because it just tells you all the history of this famous people.

The author wrote this book to tell us about the history of the world. It tells us a story about people and their journeys. I think Jules Verne liked reading about the history of the world so she thought this book would some up some of the stories of the past. The theme of this book is bravery and she wants us to think about how Jean is very brave for becoming a servant for Phileas Fogg.

So far in the book Jean Passespartout is my favorite character in the book. He is a honest man with great manners and is serviceable. Throughout is whole life he has been a servant for many masters and thats what makes him a strong person. An important quote is "Passespartout suits me" because it shows that Fogg is now the controller of Jean. Why is Jean such a nice man after being controller his whole life? I want to know if Fogg really does appreciate Passespartout.
