20000 Leagues Of Misinterpretation By James W. Maertens
20,000 Leagues of Misinterpretation
James W. Maertens, in, Between Jules Verne and Walt Disney: Brains, Brawn, and Masculine Desire in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, provides an
analysis of the social dynamics within 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and relates these themes to the techno–cultural revolution at the time. It should
be noted that comparative analysis between the text and film drives several sections of Maerten 's analysis. That said, the majority of Maertens
analysis is applicable to the text first, and then branched to the film where applicable. For the purpose of my argument I have chosen to omit the film's
analysis, to constrain the scope of my argument.
Maertens divides his analysis into six distinct categories: Scientific ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Ned too shows remarkable moral composure, above that of Nemo. When Nemo decides to callously ram cachalot's (sperm whales) in the path of the
Nautilus, "'Well, sir,' replied the Canadian, whose enthusiasm had somewhat calmed; 'it is a terrible spectacle, certainly. But I am not a butcher. I am a
hunter, and I call this a butchery'" (chapter 12).
Verne's characters prove that masculinity, if anything, is dependent on a mastery of both mental integrity and physical strength. Situationally, both
forms of masculinity can be useful, or dangerous. Conseil, perhaps the least masculine character, given his submissive role as an aid to Arronax,
embodies the danger's of this neo–masculinity best. While searching for specimens Arronax and Conseil come under attack by natives, "Conseil and
I were absorbed in the contemplation of our treasure [a seashell], and I was promising myself to enrich the museum with it, when a stone
unfortunately thrown by a native struck against, and broke, the precious object in Conseil 's hand. I uttered a cry of despair! Conseil took up his
gun, and aimed at a savage who was poising his sling at ten yards from him"(chapter 21). When the strength of machine is paired with the quest for
knowledge you can end up, "trading a shell for the life of a man". While Conseil embodies physical and mental masculinity in this action, it is deeply
flawed, and morally dangerous.

Jules Gabriel Verne's 'The Mysterious Island'
The Mysterious Island
The novel, The Mysterious Island, was written by legendary French 19th Century author, Jules Gabriel Verne (1828– 1905). Verne is widely
considered to be the Father of science fiction writings/novels, often unintentionally predicting future technologies such as submarines, missiles, rocket
ships, etc. He is also known for his many works, for example, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the
World in 80 Days and, the subject of this book report, The Mysterious Island. I chose this book, not only because it interested me, but because I had
started to read it a few years ago but never got the chance to finish it and it was collecting dust and so I thought I should use this opportunity to read
it. Some interesting facts about the novel include that I managed to find are that in the original French version of the book, some of the main
characters are given slightly different names: GГ©dГ©on Spillet, Nabuchodonosor (Nab) and Harbert Brown as opposed to Gideon Spilett, Neb and
Herbert Brown. Furthermore, there some date/time discrepancies, for example, the story takes place after the American Civil War (between 1861 and
1865) and Captain Nemo is seen to have died within this time period, while in the book, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, which takes place
1867 and 1868, Nemo is still alive. Other things to note is that there have been about 11 different film and television adaptations made based on the

He didn't want to be here. This was the third time that John ended up getting called into the office. John sighed inwardly. The time had flown so fast,

After swallowing, he steadied his nerves, and knocked on the dean's looming, large, rosewood door.
"Come in!" bellowed the booming voice from inside the office. John made a silent prayer that if he came out of this meeting with his grade intact, he

"Why not?" John said grudgingly.
After getting into the car, John was impressed as he always was. The car was decked out with every upgrade imaginable. It was a red Tesla model S,

" I never understood how you managed to buy a car like this." sighed John, " I wish I had fortunes lying around like all the MBA students do."
Brett laughed. " It's not as easy as you think it is, making money from businesses and the stock market." Brett stated, " It takes a tremendous amount of
judgement and decision making."
" Well, nonetheless, you made a wise decision going into the business department instead of doingwriting like me", said John.
" I just did what I enjoyed doing", Brett replied easily.
After walking to one of the many restaurants in the mall, Brett asked, " What happened with the dean?"
" Oh, I just didn't manage to finish my thesis on time and the dean gave me a week to finish it." said John.
" Are we talking about the same dean? The dean that never gives allowances?" questioned Brett.
"Ha ha, very funny Brett," said John, sarcastically. " Even if he gave me a month I might not be able to finish it."

Essay on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Some time ago, I decided to read Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, by Jules Verne. I figured that
because it was so well known it must be an extremely interesting book. In addition, it was science fiction, the one area that I was always interested.
My assumption was only partially correct, for I only was to a degree interested in the piece of writing. When Jules Verne was writing this book, he
must have been reading some incredibly dull science book the day before, for that was what the book was written as. The style of writing was utterly
against my tastes, and though the plot was moderately interesting, the style of writing really ruined it. Often, the author will trail off describing some ...

It promptly fitted a frigate, the Abraham Lincoln, to destroy the beast, and invited Pierre to join them, for his science capabilities. For many months they
searched, but could not find this Narwhale anywhere. When they found it, it attacked the ship, disabling it, and sending M. Aronnax, Ned Land (a
harpooner) and Conseil (servant of Pierre) overboard. Soon, the three were guests in the Narwhale, now known to be a ship, the Nautilus, commanded
by Captain Nemo. During the stay aboard the Nautilus, Pierre Conseil and Ned encounter and discover many wonderful and interesting facts from the
sea. Often, they would accompany the captain in an under water expedition. Several of these excursions were to hunt, and others were simply to
explore a submarine region. One of the times when the purpose was just to investigate an underwater region, Captain Nemo and M. Aronnax explored
the lost city of Atlantis. On a separate occasion, Pierre found that there was a supply of coal underwater that the Nautilus used as a source of fuel. In
addition to underwater excursions, the Nautilus itself was on a round the world journey, which accounted for the most exiting time of the book. This
was when Captain Nemo was attempting to access the South Pole. That meant passing the Great Ice Barrier, and surviving with very little air. During
this rather long voyage, the submarine gets wedged between two icebergs,

Jules Verne : Pioneer Of Science Fiction
Jules Verne: Pioneer of Science Fiction A pioneer of Science Fiction, French novelist, and short story writer known as Jules Verne. In his expansive
and illustrated writings, Verne foresaw a number of scientific devices and theories that were more than a century ahead of his time. He wrote over 80
books and a few of the things he described were scientific developments, possibilities, and inventions. Some inventions he imagined were actually
created later in his lifetime. For instance, Verne's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (1864), was written years before the first submarine was invented.
Verne's novels all feature characters motivated to adventure based on a sense of personal challenge and though his books are fictional they have a...
He starts in London, England and travels through Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York, and finally
Liverpool. Fogg arrives back in London but believes he is too late so he apologizes to Aouda for bringing her with him, and believes he now has to
live in poverty and cannot support her. Aouda confesses that she loves him and asks him to marry her. The following day, Passepartout learns that
he is mistaken in the date, which he takes to be Sunday, December 22, but which is actually Saturday, December 21, because they travelled
eastward, gaining a day. The wager can still be won, but there is very little time left. Passepartout hurries to inform Fogg, who reaches the Reform
Club just in time to win the wager. Fogg marries Aouda and the journey around the world in eighty days is complete. Axel Lidenbrock is the main
character and narrator of Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). He lives with his Uncle Otto and seeks to follow in his footsteps in the
study of mineralogy. Axel is in love with Grauben, Otto's ward. He hopes to marry her as soon as possible. When Otto comes across the Saknussemm
manuscript in an old book, he makes Axel aware. He is made a part of Otto's expedition to the center of the earth. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is
described by Axel as "a learned egoist" and "a hoarder of knowledge." (p. 13). Otto is fifty years old, a

000 Leagues Under The Sea Symbolism
"This was an enormous forest, with great mineral vegetation and enormous petrified trees bound together by garlands of elegant Plumularia... [Below
was] a carpet of flowers strewn with dazzling gems" (175). Jules Verne utilizes vivid descriptions exceedingly well in his science fiction adventure
novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. Striking imagery, intense conflict, and hidden symbolism are key literary elements in this book.
First, imagery is presented through vivid descriptions of the Nautilus, underwater scenery and biota, and the sunken city of Atlantis. Captain Nemo's
submarine, the Nautilus, is described in great detail throughout the book. For example, a bookcase is detailed in this quote, "Tall, black–rosewood

Similarly, there are innumerable lengthy passages dedicated to illustrating the scenery and life that Dr. Aronnax sees under the seas. He uses a porthole
in the salon and his naturalist's eye to see giant squids, sperm whales, baleen whales, dugongs, all manner of coral, and countless other creatures.
Similarly, Captain Nemo takes Dr. Aronnax to enjoy the marvel of the sunken Atlantis. From the top of an erupting underwater volcano, "torrents of
lava that were dispersed in fiery cascades" illuminate the ruins of the destroyed and ancient city (260).
Next, the Abraham Lincoln, the Nautilus, Ned Land, Captain Nemo, civilization, and Dr. Aronnax are all involved in conflicts. To begin with, the
Abraham Lincoln is ordered to destroy the Nautilus. It searches for the thing for months then chases and tries to catch it for days. Another key conflict
within the novel is that between Ned Land and Captain Nemo.

Marie Laure And Siddhartha
There are many novels written with different experiences included into each one making them unique, but when one breaks down the novels one can
realize how there may be different adventures, but there really is only one story. Joseph Campbell's Monomyth cycle is used to compare stories and
outline how similar two different novels can be; in Hesse's Siddhartha and Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See, the three main stages of the
monomyth cycle and different themes throughout the novel really pull the stories together; it shows the characters' journeys to find who they are and

her cope with her blindness. The theme father–son relationship comes to play a role in the beginning of Siddhartha and All the Light We Cannot See as
Siddhartha and Marie Laure are looking for adventure and their relationships with their fathers are shown strongly with a lot of support. In both, the
son or daughter wants to somehow leave, and in both, the father indulges and is hurt by it, but encourages it as well. The fathers must let go of their

After the hero leaves the separation stage, they enter the initiation stage where they may act a certain way, struggle through certain situations, or even

Basia Themes
NAUTICA is a captivating sea adventure. There's a worthy and challenging goal and the stakes are high. The story is driven by solid themes about
bonding, reconnecting, and healing.
The emotional theme cleverly works on three levels. The main storyline regarding the relics is about finding the missing part, and reconnecting them.
On the journey, the protagonist, Hal, bonds and connects with his employee, Gene.
In the protagonist's personal life he learns to reconnect with his estranged girlfriend and daughter, and he learns to heal from his past, involving his
father. It's nice to see how the emotional premise all comes together.

When they find the relic, then it would be a surprise when Basil pulls out a gun and allows the Ula and Ned on the boat (or something like that). Also,
having Holly on the adventure would make the ending more convincing. Right now there's not a true romance or a true relationship formed between
Holly and Hal, so it's challenging to see them together at the end.
As mentioned, Hal is a likable and quiet hero. He has strong inner conflict and he equally has a strong character arc when he decides family comes first
and that the wants a normal, committed life. He realizes he has been chasing a ghost.
Unfortunately, Holly is underwritten. She's great in the scene telling Hal off, but then fades. She shares nice chemistry with Hal, but one wants more.
It's fun when Hal is jealous of a photo, but it's her brother.
Gene is a delightful sidekick. "But I don't want to do something extraordinary, Hal. I'm having a hard time as it is trying to achieve boring." He also
has a nice character arc. He goes from timid, insecure, afraid of swimming and anything that takes him away from land, but by the end, he's the one
championing the adventure. He learns from Hal, as Hal learned from Gene. What isn't convincing is that Gene doesn't know what a mariner's astrolabe
is, given his expert knowledge in

Professor Arononnax 20 000 Leagues Under The Sea
In his novel 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Jules Verne introduced the reader to a brilliant professor by the name of Aronnax and the eccentric
Captain Nemo who mans the Nautilus, a remarkable submarine. When the passage opens, it tells that Aronnax is debating with the other crew
members, and he believes there is more to the pole than just ice. This illustrates that Professor Aronnax is a very curious ,yet simplistic person. In the
first place, Professor Aronnax is a very optimistic person throughout the story. In paragraph 11 he says that he is eager to see what is behind the ice
bank even though his colleagues say its just "Ice, ice, and more ice" as it stated in paragraph 10. He proves numerous time through the story that he is

Why Captain Nemo Created The Nautilus?
When Monsieur Aronnax first discovered why Captain Nemo created the Nautilus, he couldn't believe it. The fact that the Nautilus was built out of
vengeance and anger seemed odd for Captain Nemo's usually high spirit. It's proved that men have to fight nature's obstacles along with man, and this
can only be done by courage, strength, and logic. Most of the book occurs with the characters on the Nautilus, a submarine way beyond its time. The
Nautilus is ran using a certain type of electricity, it's very secluded from the outside world. The characters go on underwater adventures through sea
caves, sea forest, and a coal mine, without having any other outside human interaction. It's hard because the only resources available are those from the

This story is about a guy named Phileas Fogg, and his servant Passepartout. In this book, they make many perilous journeys together. "A procession

try to make it around the world in eighty days. Phileas Fogg is a very precise and accurate person and thinks he can do this with his servant,
Passepartout. He made a bet, and if he makes it around the world in eighty days, he will win 20,000 pounds. If he doesn't, he will be left as a very
poor man with barely any money left in his bank account. "Was this Phileas Fogg rich, undoubtedly. But the best informed could not say how he
had made his money, and Mr. Fogg was the last person to whom it would have been proper to go for information. He was by no means extravagant
in anything, neither was he avaricious, for when money was needed for the noble, useful, or benevolent purpose, he gave it quietly, and even
anonymously"(Around the World in 80 Days 2). He was a rich man before he left for his journey, but he spent so much money on the journey that he
would be poor without winning the bet. He also rescues a maiden on his way back to london and she ends up going on the journey with the two. "The

"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on
all sides. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite". (Jules 199) This part of a Quote written by Jules Verne himself can be found in
one of Verne's most famous bookTwenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. it Gives a clue to his fascination with world travel adventures and the
knowledge he was inspired by. Jules Verneis a globally known bestseller and is often referred as by many "the father of science fiction" (Derbyshire 1).
According to biography.com he was Born in the seaport city of Nantes, France on February 8, 1828, he himself since was revealed to his city's

In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, three men are captured by a captain the forces them on an underwater adventure. Captain Nemo
uses his advanced technology and thinking to run away from society. The underwater coal mine and how he used it was very helpful to not have to
get in contact with humans. Coal is most thought of as a land resource, and because he can get it underwater he doesn't have to get it from land.
Back in the 1860s the ocean was not a very discovered place, so Nemo could go there without being discovered. Nemo says on page 311, "Thereby
making me independant of dry land even for that substance." Going on land to get coal means you probably would see people and have to interact with
others. Another good thing... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

may seem simple to us, but when the book was written, it was very new and even fictional! Finally, The most recurring piece of technology Nemo uses
is his submarine, the Nautilus. The Nautilus protects Nemo from outside people that may want to get in and limits his contact with humans. It is a
submarine, which is totally new and not many people go to the depth it does. Also, the electricity in the hatches shoots people backwards even if
they do get on top. on page 192 it says, "... was thrown back by some invisible force." Even if men did open the hatches it was still impossible for
people to get in. Also the Nautilus can explore places that other ships can not reach. One example is, "No, not over it, but under it... Things you can do
with an ordinary ship become easy with the Nautilus." This means that the Nautilus is very ahead of its

I have always loved to read, especially books about history or science. The classic, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, is probably the most
intriguing book I have ever read. This book along with other books by Jules Verneare loaded with advanced vocabulary, sophisticated language, and
thought–provoking details. The book, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, states, "So let me tell you that you will not regret the time spent on
board my vessel. You are going to travel through a wonderland. Astonishment and stupefaction will probably be your normal state of mind. You will
not easily become blasГ© about the sights continually offered to your eyes. I am going to embark on a new underwater tour of the world–who knows,
perhaps the last?–and revisit everything I have studied on my many travels; and you will be my study companion. Starting today, you will enter a
new element, you will see what no man has ever seen before (for my men and I no longer count); and our planet, through my efforts, will deliver up
its last secrets." This statement suggests that this and other of Verne's books are full of advanced vocabulary and have complex language. One
benefit of reading and understanding these classic works of literature is that my writing has improved. The word "stupefaction", as used in the quote,
most nearly means, overwhelmed with amazement. This implies that there are many words in these books that are of high intelligence level. By
reading these books the intelligence level of the reader will rise. My insatiable appetite for reading has been a great factor in developing better writing

the mighty narwhal they thought they were hunting. He was an arrogant man who believed he was the best in his field and Arronax (along with

Jules Verne, otherwise called the father of sci–fi, was a wellspring of inspiration for innovators who needed to look for accomplishment in submerged
innovation. Verne presents the Nautilus, which is an effective submarine thatCaptain Nemo imagined himself. Nemo plot the power and quality of his
imagined innovation, expressing "Yes, keen, nervy, and immune! It fears neither the unnerving tempests of the Red Sea, nor its streams, nor its reefs"
(Verne 212). This innovation caught individuals' consideration. Amid this day and age in France, numerous neighborhood innovators were additionally
working out the complexities of building submarines. In 1863, a couple of years before Verne composed his novel, Le Plongeur, a 140–foot
submarine, was finished. This ship was worked to convey twelve men however had issues with weight and remaining above water. Despite the fact
that this submarine was not fruitful, hardware and submerged innovation kept on winding up noticeably more progressed. The scuba outfit was created
by Frenchmen Benoit Rouquayrot and Auguste Denayrouze in the 1860's. Their set is provided with air pumped from the surface into a shut
protective cap suit; the suit is additionally fitted with a supply so that the jumper could segregate himself from the air hose for a couple of minutes.
Nemo's dominance of science and designing was shown by his plunging suits and power firearms. In

Jules Verne's 20, 000 Leagues Under The Sea
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, written by the best selling author Jules Verne, is an enthralling undersea adventure that begins when a
mysterious oblong, occasionally phosphorescent "thing", larger and infinitely faster than a whale, begins attacking boats. The famous oceanographer
Professor Pierre Aronnax is invited aboard the Abraham Lincoln to hunt down what he believes to be a giant narwhal, but once they find it, even the
superior war boat is no match for this strange creature. Professor Aronnax and his trusty servant Council are thrown overboard and end up on the deck
of an oblong, occasionally phosphorescent submarine with their acquaintance Ned Land, a Canadian Harpooner. They are then hostilely brought aboard
and told by Captain Nemo that they are never allowed to leave the Nautilus, the boat our three travelers happened upon. After this depressing news, they
are offered the opportunity to travel the world underwater and experience wonders only the captain himself has ever seen, which they promptly accept.
Professor Aronnax, Ned, and Council are rudely interrupted by a group of hungry cannibals on their way to visit a bed of giant pearls where they
are attacked by a shark, and then quickly head to a sunken spanish galleon where Nemo solves his cash flow problems. They visit Atlantis, plant a
flag on the South Pole in 1867, attack a group of unfriendly giant squids, and to the professor's horror, sink an unknown attacking vessel that Nemo
claims will get back at the people who destroyed his family and country. Soon after, the Nautilus heads straight into a giant whirlpool called the
Maelstrom, and our three travelers manage to escape and wake up on a remote Norwegian island, wondering if anyone survived the deadly vortex

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Essay
Born on February 8, 1828, Jules Verne had spent most of his child hood in the small, seafaring town of Nantes, France. He was the son of a wealthy
provincial lawyer, Pierre Verne and Sophie Allote de la FuГ

the Verne family relocated to Quai Jean–Bart. In the same year, Verne's brother Paul was born. Following his brother would be three more sisters,
Anna, Mathilde, and Maria in 1836, 1839, and 1842, chronologically. Through most of his childhood, Verne had repeatedly dreamed on endeavoring

marriage, Verne had missed the birth of his only biological son Michel Verne. Verne held many careers before and after his marriage. To gain the
approval of the Morels to marry Honorine, Verne had to accepted her brother's offer to create a brokerage. His father begrudgingly approved and
Verne would become a stockbroker. While he was occupied by the extensive hours of work at the Paris exchange, he also prepared for his first major
literary piece. He had adopted a meticulous timetable to accommodate his literary labors. Verne would begin writing and researching as early as five,
before arriving at the Bourse to become occupied with his regular occupation as a stockbroker. In the following years, the increasingly popular author
published his first long fiction book, Five Weeks in a Balloon. This book fascinated to many since Central Africa was a vast and unexplored territory.

Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is an animated feature film by Pixar and features the voices of celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Geoffrey Rush to draw both young
and old viewers. The director, Andrew Stanton, and the animators, Bob Peterson and David Reynolds, create an awesome experience for the audience
to see and hear the colours and sounds of the ocean. One hundred minutes of adventure introduces viewers to a range of sea creatures – each with an
unexpected and loveable personality.
Finding Nemo has an unexpected twist, at the very beginning, when Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his wife's eggs are attacked by a vicious shark and
only Nemo's remains. This result in a shock to the viewer, leaving them wanting to know and understand more. The movie quickly jumps forward from
the negativity however, to an excited Nemo (Alexander Gould) on his way to school for the first time while his father is warning him about not straying
The characters speech seems to be almost inviting whenever the audience is introduced to a new character or setting. The language is suitable for
children to hear, with it containing no inappropriate language or crude jokes. All the sea creatures possessed an Australian accent that captured the
heart of Australian's perfectly, even if the voice actors weren't Australian.
The voice over acting seems to fit perfectly to the personality of each character in Finding Nemo. A massive standout is Ellen DeGeneres as Dory
because she can perform a range of emotions extremely well. After speculation that she could not deliver on dramatic scenes, she felt the need to try
harder because she knew she was capable of more. Her first trial reading of heartfelt scenes only needed a few small adjustments and edits before the
final cut. Overall it was an outstanding performance by Ellen DeGeneres because she was someone who was doubted so strongly to begin

Comparing Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Seas And Robr...
Jules Verne plays with his readers' perceptions of life and sentience in both Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Robur the Conqueror. Both
novels share fundamental novums; a vehicle that cannot exist during the current time does, in fact, exist. Although these technological modes of
transport utilized in both novels are fantastical and near–mythical in nature, they both are grounded in possible (and probable) methods of operation.
However, despite these vehicles being controlled by a knowledgeable captain, the machines act more as alive beings throughout each story. Instead of
Verne painting the Albatross and the Nautilus as mere vessels for the beings that give operation and direction, he gives the breath of agency to the
machines. In this critical essay, I will examine the relationship between both captains and their respective ships, provide examples of the ships being
illustrated as individual agents within the story, and outline some trends and observations about how the agency of the vehicles affects one's... Show

Though, one key difference between Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas and Robur the Conqueror is that the Albatross' flight is much less
concerned with systematic and logical mapping and direction. Even the embarkation of the visitors was a mysterious event, and due to Robur being
unable to be tracked using traditional longitudinal and latitudinal methods, citizens believed that "if the earth had opened up to swallow them whole,
the president and secretary of the Weldon Institute could not have been any more absent from the surface of the globe" (Robur 40). The Albatross is
not limited to the scientific rational grid; Robur's tour is aimed at ending the association of surface movement with aerial movement. Like the Nautilus,
the Albatross must be treated as an entirely separate and independent

Similar to gothic literature, one of the scenes in "The Day Will Come That You Won't Be" has a biblical parallel. In this scene, the characters
follow part of the story of Abraham and Isaac. In the show, Negan fulfills the role of God (which he would, undoubtedly, appreciate), Rick is
Abraham, and Carl is Isaac. Negan demands a personal sacrifice of Rick that will protect other people, but cause profound damage to his son and
himself. Negan demands fulfillment up until Rick has resigned himself to cutting of Carl's arm. Negan does not need Rick to actually complete the
act, he just needs Rick to accept his domination. It functions not only as a test of Rick's sense of duty to his people and the power of his fear, but
also makes Rick grateful to Negan. In a very twisted way, Negan saves Carl by sparing him from the fate Negan had demanded of him. It is a little

Professor Aronnax and his friends find that the sea monster is actually a giant steel submarine. Professor Aronnax and his friends are held hostage by
Captain Nemo in the Nautilus. Nemo decides to let them explore the depths of the sea with him, and his crew. Aronnax discovers Nemo is crazy, and
finds a way to escape, but once the escape, the Nautilus is unseen. The theme of 20,00 leagues under the sea is, exploration is good, but it has
downsides. The theme is developed through the setting, the conflicts, and the resolution.
The setting is a big part in developing the theme. The setting is the depths of the ocean in a huge submarine that you have to stay in the rest of
your life. In the text it says, "{Nemo says,} You will remain on board my ship forever as free men. You will have the freedom to walk about , to
look, and even examine everything that goes on here. You may do all this since you will never have the chance to tell what you have seen to another
living soul." {Professor Aronnax said,} "But Monsieur," I cried, "you can't possibly expect us to give up our families , our friends, or our country
forever" (50). This helps develop the theme because, It shows that the setting (the Nautilus) Is helping them explore the ocean,

Analysis Of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea In the story Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne, a professor named Aronnax and his
team decided to set out on a mission in interest of a so called monster that has been attacking ships in the past. In hopes of capturing the monster, the
plan did not end up so well for Aronnax and his team. The monster struck the ship they were on and sent them plummeting into the water, without the
ship members realizing they were gone. His crew found something in the water and pulled every one up onto it, not realizing what it was that they were
climbing on. Before they knew it, they got pulled into the monster itself. The author used diction throughout the story to create mood and develop tone.
The author changes the diction based upon the situation. For example if an event is energetic than mellows down into a calm, soothing activity, the
mood or tone of the character you are reading about will change dramatically, from speaking in an energized tone, to a calm and mellow voice. This
happens throughout this story. From the beginning of the story, with Aronnax and his crew going on a journey in a fortified, organized mood,
towards the middle where they get captured and the mood gets energized and more entertaining. This change happens very quickly. Towards the
beginning of the story, Aronnax becomes very interested in this "monster" people have been calling it, attacking ships and causing distraught
towards many people. Therefore as Aronnax being a curious person, got hooked immediately. He speaks fluent French and English, and speaks in
a fixed, proper tone towards his partner Conseil. "We will see to them presently. I will give orders to have our menagerie forwarded to France."
(13) The mood is laid back and more mellow as Aronnax talks to Conseil. As he speaks to many other people as the story goes on, the tone he is
speaking in is not so formal or mellow as it is towards Conseil. Later on towards the middle of the story, after they got knocked viciously off of the
boat, the tone changed drastically, as in the word choice used by Aronnax. The words being used now in the story, are not as formal as they would
have sounded at the beginning. "Calm yourself, Ned" (41)

Since they were always at sea the characters and the mood grew weary and longed for land and real venison. It made Ned Land tempered and made
the Professor pleased because he could research. Since the captain was so secretive that made the mood more sullen and unpleasant at points. The
captain also made the tone tense with his need to know basis and the way he worded things.
The point of view is first person protagonist and Professor Aronnax is the one telling the story. He is a researcher and he told the story in his journal
and his notes. Since it was told through his notes, it seemed much more realistic than it would have been if it was told differently, " The next day was
the 9th of November. I awoke after a long sleep of twelve hours".(Verne 61)
The characters Professor Aronnax, Ned Land, and Conseil are the three main characters and Captain Nemo is another important character. Professor
Aronnax was a renowned scientist and researcher, and his tour of the Nautilus was the perfect time for unimaginable research of the depths of the
ocean. Professor Aronnax once said "never spills the blood of innocent creatures without good reason" about Nemo the captain of the Nautilus.

Summary Of Jules Verne 's ' France '
Noah Lewis

LA III Honors
XX November 2016
PLACEHOLDER TITLE
Jules Verne, of France, was a prominent author who produced over 60 novels along with multiple plays and short stories. Verne was born in February
of 1828, amidst the Industrial Revolution, in a port city called Nantes. An environment like this undoubtedly helped to spark Verne's near unquenchable
desire for adventure and travel, a key component of his life until its end in 1905. However, Jules Verneexperienced his share of bumps and potholes
on his road to glory. Verne had moved to Paris to get a degree in law, but shortly after he ended up working in the arts even with pressure from his
parents to continue his studies. With that door eventually closing Verne took up a job as a secretary and even a stockbroker to support himself and
his family. Finally finding a stable position, Verne and his wife took roughly 20 trips to the British Isles, which ended up as a solid source for writing
material. Verne's thirst for adventure reached the point where he bought his own boat, drawing on his travels all the way from British Isles to the
Mediterranean to create more novels. The novels known as Journey to the Center of the Earth and From the Earth to the Moon were influenced by
Verne's experiences and travels. Other titles such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days added to Verne's
prestige. The pinnacle of his fame is tied to his main series of novels, the 54 belonging

Character Analysis Of Captain Nemo
Character Analysis Captain Nemo is remembered as one of the greatest anti–heroes in all of science fiction. The commander of the Nautilus is
brilliantly mysterious, and a sinister character who still shows signs of sorrow. He seems to be at war with humanity, yet gives back to the poor. The
name Nemo means "no one" in latin, which only increases the uncertainty surrounding the captain. Captain Nemo first describes himself by saying ""I
am not what you call a civilised man! I [am] done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating. I do not... obey its
laws, and I desire you never to allude to them before me again!" (Verne, 57). The outright anger displayed by Nemo alludes to his hatred of society,
and sheds light on the reasoning of his self imposed exile. Nemo's efforts to separate himself and his men from society is shown in the burial
process for his dead crew members. Instead of burying his men on land, Nemo buries them in a massive underwater burial, to keep them safe from
"sharks and men" (Verne, 150). Out of respect toward the bodies and in an almost , Nemo believes it is just as important to keep the dead bodies out
of the reach of humans as it is to prevent them from being eaten by sharks. Although Nemo goes through great effort to isolate himself from
civilization, signs of compassion towards humanity in his character through his actions displayed at Vigo Bay. At the site of a great naval battle, Captain

Captain Nemo Quotes
Captain Nemo
Captain Nemo is a mysterious, quiet man. It's not even certain that his name is Captain Nemo, Nemo in Latin means no one Meaning that he wants
them to call him captain no one. It appears that throughout the book Captain Nemo isn't telling all the facts about himself as Verne wants us to be
curious about Captain Nemo's past. The only information that Captain Nemo gives us about himself is that he wanted to leave society. We realize
this when he says I am not what you call a civilized being! I have broken with society for reasons which I alone have the right to appreciate. So I do not
obey its rules, and I ask you never to invoke them in my presence again! (1.10.20) He is leaving society so that he can avenge the lost lives of his ...
But while the Nautilus is attacked by a bunch of squid, Nemo does his best to fend them off. He even puts his life on the line to save Ned Land, but
he cannot prevent one of his own crew members from being killed. After that He breaks down and cries. That part in the book really shows us that
Nemo is capable of caring for the new people, it shows us that under the crusty exterior Captain Nemo is a real softie. His serious bitterness is quite
off–putting at the beginning of the book. It makes you wonder what had to have happened to make him the way that he is. It may have been due to
the fact that his wife and children got killed, it may have been because of untold reasons, his childhood, bad experiences with life itself, or a job
failure. Either way it shows us that we, as humans can change just by spending time and investing in people.
While reading 20,000 leagues under the sea I found myself wondering about how nice it would be to just go somewhere no one has been before and
start again. Maybe Nemo was just tired of his everyday life where there were rules and expectations. He might have felt like there was nothing to stay
for so he left to see the unknown depths of the ocean. I believe that its human nature to be curious of what we are unsure of. Captain Nemo seemed
like a person that pushes his, and everybody else's

Theme 1 In the science fiction novel, Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, the topics of science vs imagination brings forward numerous
themes. Even though this novel is based mainly on imagination, there are still many real life themes and ideas that are relevant. One of these themes is
keeping a lasting pride in one's occupation and job. Throughout the entire introduction, Axel, the protagonist in the story observes his uncle, Otto

opening that will help them reach the center of the earth. Lidenbrock, in the novel is portrayed as a mineralogist completely dedicated to his ... Show

Furthermore, when Axel's failed attempt to get out of his uncle's journey comes to a stop, his disappointment is represented in the first person
perspective. Axel's fear of accompanying his uncle is only truly expressed due to the point of view. While they are having dinner, Axel thinks to
himself "These last words sent a shiver through my whole body. I kept my selfcontrol though. I even resolved to put on a brave face. Only scientific
arguments could stop Professor Lidenbrock now. And there was no lack of arguments, and good ones, against such a journey being possible. Go to the
centre of the Earth? What madness! But I kept my reasoning for a more suitable moment, and instead gave my full attention to the meal." This not only
provides insight on Axel's thoughts but more importantly provides proof of his uncle's crazy devotions to science.
Theme 2 Like the first theme of determination and pride in work, another similar theme that takes a different outlook on the same events is the
idea of if sacrifice is really worth it at the end. As shown in the last analysis, Professor Lidenbrock is very dedicated to his work as a scientist and
perhaps maybe a little too dedicated and too involved. He undervalues everything else about life except his scientific discoveries. Lidenbrock even
skips meals for a couple of days not realizing the troubles that could occur to his nephew or even his goddaughter Grauben. He also does not make any
consideration

If his master is happy, so is Conseil. Ironic to his name, in French conseil actually means counsel, which means to advise. Most of us who read the
book knows that Conseil is basically there to serve Aronnax, his master, not to advise him. Also if you were wondering, Conseil is a person, not a
dog. Sometimes, Conseils personality is hunours, like when he tries to eat a fish that supposed stings him out of revenge, even though it tastes horrible
But other times, they reveal a passion that you would not expect to find in a man who sometimes acted like a robot. For example, his reaction to the
cannibal attack on a island that they were temporily stranded on with the Nautilus due to low tide. While he did compare the savages to monkeys, he
also makes some surprisingly intelligent statements, such as when Aronnax states that savages are bad because they are cannible and Conseil replied:
"One can be a cannibal and a good man, just as one can be a glutton and honest. The one does not exclude the other."1
This quote shows that Conseil is very intelligent and is able to see "outside the box".
Now of course we can 't forget about the Great Captain Nemo, who by far is my most favourite charactor in the whole book, and also in my opinion
the most memorable. What can I say? He has an intelligent personality and is very capable of achieving his goals. The name Nemo is not just to name
the character but also is a symbol. No not Finding Nemo, but

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea Essay

Nantes, France. Jules became interested with the theatre, and that's when he began writing plays,
dramas and operas. Twenty thousand leagues under the sea was first published in French in
1870. In the classic science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, Jules Verne
uses revenge, man versus nature and liberty to portray the central topic. It is the most important
book from his science–fiction series, Voyages Extraordinaires, and in English, Extraordinary
Trips. Professor Pierre Aronnax is the main character and narrator of the story. Aronnax boarded
a frigate, along with his servant Conseil, to investigate numerous attacks ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Aronnax, Conseil and Ned Land.
Man versus nature is the main theme in this novel, which stands in for the conflict between
Aronnax and Captain Nemo, and between Nemo and himself. Aronnax is a naturalist and is
obligated to choose between science and his companions, as a result of his opposition with
Nemo. Man versus nature consists men battling against a force of nature in order to achieve their

goals. Nemo set off his ship with the purpose of revoking men's development from that era, then
the modern era and transform society into was he believed was better. Whereas, the novel's
theme is really about men trying to overcome and defy nature. Captain Nemo believes he can
create the same land's atmosphere in the Nautilus; the Nautilus also represents the conflict
between man and nature because Nemo used it to explore the broad and unexplored oceans.
Another theme in the novel is revenge. Revenge is the act of taking vengeance for injuries
on wrongs. Captain Nemo is seeking revenge from injustices that occurred while he was on land.
He also feels apathetic towards the rest of the world for the way they constantly use and

The Influences of Politics, Science, and Discovery on...
Jules Verne's science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea delivers profound insight into historical events which influenced the
work. Through Verne's descriptive style, one is able to ascertain various political and foreign policy aspects that involved France during the time the
novel was written. In addition, worldly issues and struggles can be accurately assessed. Due to Verne's "detail and determination to explore questions
of liberty and authority," it is evident that he largely incorporates personal opinion and ideas into his works ("Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"
Literature and Its Times). Verne also integrates Victorian Era interest such as technology and science. Although many facets of Twenty Thousand...
The destruction of the Russian warship provides a supreme indication of who Verne supported in the conflicts between Russian and Poland. Verne
sympathizes with the suffering of the Polish people and aspires for them to obtain independence from their oppressors. It should be noted that Verne's
opinion reflects those of many in France who "objected passionately to the Russians' brutal punishment of the Poles" ("Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea" Literature and Its Times). It became clearly evident to Pierre–Jules Hetzel, Verne's publisher, that a scene involving the destruction of a
Russian warship by a Pole would result in severe political ramifications. Hetzel feared that destroying a Russian warship in Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea could anger the Russian government and produce some form of retaliation. It should be noted that France had been in opposition of
Russia in the Crimean War, which came to a conclusion in 1856. Taking into consideration the closeness of the Crimean War and the release of the first
manuscript of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in 1868, one can speculate that France did not want to risk engagement in another war with
Russia. In addition, during the time Verne was finishing his first manuscript, "the Prussians were on the move in Denmark and Austria, and many in the
French government feared that France would be next on their list" ("Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" Literature and Its Times).
