Post #2

I am reading the book Around the World in 80 days and it is by Jules Verne. I have just started Chapter 7 and it is getting better and better. Phileas Fogg was just told that he need to travel around the world and Passepartort was to go with him. He was very surprised to know that he was going around the world when he was just suppose to be a servant. Phileas Fogg and Passespartout are now depaturing from London. This book is very interesting because we get to learn about the past and Passespartout is going on an adventure as a servant. Verne wrote this book to show how even the poor can have adventures 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. Passespartout is the best character because he is such a nice man and he is a good person for being controlled his whole life. "Unlike you and your colleagues, money does not inspire me," this quote is very strong because it shows how Fogg is actually a good person. I wonder where their next destination will be.
