Where might I find the British passport office?”He held out a passport that needed to be stamped. The detective took the passport and asked, “Is

this yours?” “No, sir,” Passepartout said. “It’s the monsieur‟s –my boss’s.” (p 24/chap 4) “I hope this won’t happen again,” he said as they boarded the train. Passepartout hung his head in shame and promised that it wouldn’t. The last thing he wanted was to make the monsieur unhappy with him. (p 53/chap 5)
Precise / Confident Passepartout makes sure that his replies are correct.
“Your watch is slow,” Phileas replied. “Pardon me, monsieur, but that is impossible...” (p 3/chap 1) “You haven’t forgotten anything?”Phileas asked. “Not a thing, sir,” Passepartout said. (p 18/chap 3)
Enthusiastic Passepartout loves his job and wants to start his chores immediately and correctly.
Passepartout sets off to explore the house from top to bottom. (p 6/chap 1) “Perfect!” Passepartout thought. “Now I can learn the routine as well”. (p 7/chap 1) Passepartout knew what he should be doing every second of every day. (p 7/chap 1) Passepartout said aloud, “We’ll get along just in time, Mr Fogg and I. This is just what I wanted!” (p 7/chap 1)
Contented Passepartout is very happy that he will be able to please his master.
Passepartout said aloud, ...This is just what I wanted!”(p 7/chap 1) Once they arrived in Allahabad, Fogg asked Passepartout to run some errands. Passepartout was happy to do so. (p 53)

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/chap 5)

The new shoes were Indian slippers decorated with false pearls. Passepartout had never owned anything so lovely. (p 41/chap 6) Passepartout sat back down and looked out the window. He was amazed to be in India of all places. (p 41/chap6) They saw some animals-mainly monkeys- that Passepartout quite liked. (p 47/chap7) Passepartout grabbed the man’s hand. He pumped it up and down and said energetically. “Thank you! Thank you! You are the best of all good fellows!” (p 68/chap 10) ... “He is not a robber! He is the most honourable of all men!” (p 76)
Inquisitive / Curious Passepartout asks questions when in doubt.
Passepartout replied. “So this is Egypt?” “Indeed it is.” “In Africa?” he asked. (p 28) “Why, that‟s exactly where we‟re going! Have you been to India before?” (p 33) Passepartout rushed off the train to see what was going on. (p 41) “Why, sir!” Passepartout said, “what on Earth are you doing here? I left you in Bombay, saw you briefly in Calcutta, and now here you are on the way to Hong Kong. Are you making a tour of the world, too?” (p 62) Finally Passepartout asked a ship’s mate if he knew where he could find Phileas Fogg. (p 86)
Truthful / Honest Passepartout is an honest man.
“He’s making a tour of the world. ... “Yes, and in eighty days...” Passepartout said. (p 29) “The monsieur is a rich man. He’s carrying a large amount of new bank notes with him and he’ll do anything to win.” (p 29)

Passepartout always answered honestly, but he didn‟t 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 people‟s culture.
When the show had passed, Passepartout found himself drawn to a temple. What he didn’t know was that foreigners were forbidden from entering these temples. It was against the law for him to go in! (Page 37)
Quick Thinking Passepartout is an astute person as he is quick thinking when it comes to problem-solving.
“We’ll 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) “What’s that, Passepartout?” Phileas said. “An elephant!” (p 43)
Protective Passepartout is protective toward mankind and righteousness.
“I think you’re 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 arrested 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
Passepartout’s 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
Literature Component Form 3 Around The World In 80 Days
10
man, Passepartout said. “And you’ve 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 half-dead. Passepartout carefully picked her up. (p 51)
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! That’s it! Passepartout thought. He must be a spy sent from the Reform Club. And my monsieur is such an honest man – that’s 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 wouldn’t. 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 spent money on mistakes that he had made. (p 60)
Literature Component Form 3 Around The World In 80 Days
11
That might cause problems between Phileas Fogg and the last thing Passepartout wanted to do was cause the monsieur more trouble! (p 64)
Trustworthy Passepartout is trustworthy. Anyone can rely on him to do something properly.
Passepartout held on tightly to the carpetbag with monsieur’s 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 JeejahJeejeebhoy. (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 Passepartout’s arm and said quietly, “You’ve 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. “I’m willing to give you some if you’ll keep Mr Fogg in Hong Kong. Don‟t tell him about the ship.” (p 73) “Not tell him! That‟s going too far, sir. I thought the members of the Reform Club were honest men.” (p 73)

Detective Fix
“a short man with small eyes and bushy eyebrows that twitched constantly” (Chapter 4)
Characteristic Textual Evidence
Observant
It was his job to watch every single
passenger that landed on Suez. He was to
report anyone who looked like he might be
the robber.
(p 21)
Intuitive
“One has a scent of them – a sixth sense that
combines hearing, seeing and smelling!
That’s how it can tell.” (p 22)
The wink confused Fix. Did it mean that
Passepartout knew he was a detective? Had
he been found out? (p 66)
Inquisitive / Curious
“He was curious about the gentleman who
had sent his butler to get his passport
stamped”
(p 24)
Persistent / Determined
... he had made a promise to himself that he
wouldn’t 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
Literature Component Form 3 Around The World In 80 Days

great deal of money from the Bank of
England and I’ve been sent to get it back” (p
74)
Fix decided to follow Phileas until the bitter
end (p 96)
Materialistic
“Then you know that my job involves a lot of
money, Fix said. “I’m willing to give you
some if you keep Mr.Fogg in Hong Kong.” (p
73)
As for Fix, everytimePhileas 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.

Aouda
A rich Indian merchant rescued by Phileas Fogg and Passepartout from a
group of bandits. Later, she shares the adventures of the two men.
Characteristic Textual Evidence Grateful / Appreciative
“That would be appreciated,” Aouda said quietly. “Thank you again for all your kindness.” (p 55)
Honest
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, JeejahJeejeebhoy, who lived in Hong Kong. (p 61) “Well,” Aouda said, “if you’ll have me as your wife, I’ll 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. “What’s 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. “He’s 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) 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 didn‟t 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, ma’am,” 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 shouldn’t either. It’s 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
Aouda’s 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)

Introduction I would like to choose the novel, Around The World In 80 Days written by
Jules Verne. It is about a wealthy gentleman, Phileas Fogg who accepts a challenge to
race around the world in eighty days. Based on the novel, a character that I like the
most is Phileas Fogg. I admire him because he is kind, patient and well-disciplined.
Point 1

Phileas Fogg is a kind man as he is willing to go all out to help anyone who is
in trouble. In the novel, he saves Aouda when she is kidnapped by the bandits. He
has to cut open the wall of the hut to rescue her. Even though he is engrossed with
his own problems but he still thinks of the safety of others and how to help them.
Point 2

Furthermore, Phileas Fogg is also a patient person. He remains calm
throughout the journey. Although the ship falls behind the schedule as they have to
go through the bad weather and the rough sea, he does not panic at all. He faces a
lot of obstacles during the race yet he is still being patient.
Point 3
- Well-disciplined
On top of that, Phileas Fogg has shown to us that he is a well-disciplined
person. He is very particular about time and he wants everything to be done within
perfect timing. For example, he wakes up precisely at eight o’clock in the morning.
When he is at the Reform Club, he has his own schedule for everything including his
meal time.
Conclusion In conclusion, these are the reasons why I like Phileas Fogg the most. He is a
role model who is discipline, kind and patient as portrayed in the novel.

3. A lesson that you have learnt.
Introduction I would like to choose the novel, Around The World In 80 Days written by Jules
Verne. It is about a wealthy gentleman, Phileas Fogg who accepts a challenge to race
around the world in eighty days.
Point 1
- Determined and
being calm
In the story, Phileas Fogg is determined that he will complete the journey
around the world in 80 days although he knows that there is a lot of obstacles that he
might face during the journey. He has to take an elephant ride when the train tracks to
Calcutta have not been completed yet. He also misses boarding his ship as Passepartout
does not inform him that the departure has been postponed. Besides, Phileas Fogg is
perfectly calm as they also encounter bad weather and rough sea during their journey
to Liverpool.
Point 2
- Willing to risk their
lives throughout the
journey
Phileas Fogg and Jean Passepartout are willing to risk their lives throughout
the journey when they have to end the journey on time. During their ride on an
elephant through the Indian forest, they meet a few bandits who have kidnapped a
daughter of a wealthy merchant, Aouda. They rescue the girl and take her to Hong
Kong. They are also attacked by a band of outlaws when they are on a train to New
York.

lot of money to
reach back on time

throughout the journey. He does not care about how much he has spent as long as he
is able to reach back on time. He pays 2000 pounds for an elephant. He also pays for
Passepartout’s bail and he even pays for the compensation to the theatre manager to
get Passepartout back on the journey.

4. Lessons that you have learnt
Introduction I would like to choose the novel, Around The World In 80 Days written by Jules
Verne. It is about a wealthy gentleman, Phileas Fogg who accepts a challenge to race
around the world in eighty days.
Point 1
- We must be
determined to face all
the challenges despite
all odds
The first lesson that I found is we must be determined to face all the challenges
despite all odds. In the story, Phileas Fogg has never given up in whatever he does. He is
willing to pay a lot of money in order to get an elephant for a ride. He also remains calm
throughout the journey although he has to face the bandits and outlaws on the railroad.
He is very confident that he will win the wager.
Point 2
- We must be kind and
concerned for others
Another lesson that I found is we must be kind and concerned for others. Despite
the time constraint to travel around the world, Phileas Fogg shows his kindness and
concern by giving Ali the elephant for guiding them safely through the Indian jungle to
Allahabad. He also rescues Aouda from the bandits with the help of Jean Passepartout
and Sir Francis Cromarty.
Point 3
- We must forgive
others
Furthermore, I have learnt that we must be able to forgive others although they
have made mistakes towards us. Phileas Fogg does not blame Jean Passepartout for all
blunders that he has made. For example, Phileas Fogg is willing to pay for his bail when he
has been charged for entering the temple illegally. He also forgives Detective Fix for
accusing him to be the bank robber and putting him through many obstacles.
Conclusion As a conclusion, I think the lessons in this novel show me that we have to be
determined in whatever we do, be kind to others and learn to forgive. These qualities are
important in our life.
- We must be determined to face all the challenges despite all odds
- We must be kind and concerned for others
- We must forgive others

5. Moral values that you have found.
Introduction I would like to choose Around The World in 80 Days written by Jules Verne. There
are many moral values that I have come upon in the story. These moral values are shown
by Phileas Fogg, Jean Passepartout and Aouda.
Point 1
- Gratitude
The first moral value is gratitude. Passepartout is pleased with Phileas Fogg as he
saves him from going to the prison. He has paid him two thousand pounds for his bail.
Besides, Aouda is also grateful with Phileas Fogg as he rescues her from the bandits in the
Indian forest. He also makes sure that she is safe and provides her a cabin while they are
on a ship.
Point 2
- Perseverance and
determination
The next moral value is perseverance and determination. Phileas Fogg is
determined to win the wager by travelling around the world in 80 days. Although there
are a lot of obstacles that he encounters throughout the journey, he feels confident that
he is able to do it. He overcomes his problems with money and risks his life in saving
others. He is willing to go on a ride on an elephant and even go through a rough sea to
make sure that he is able to win the wager.
Point 3
- Being truthful
In addition, another moral value that we can emulate is being truthful. Jean
Passepartout is being truthful to Detective Fix when he explains everything about his
master and their journey around the world. However, Jean Passepartout is not truthful
with his master when he keeps to himself Detective Fix’s suspicion and intention to arrest
Phileas Fogg.
Conclusion In conclusion, these moral values that are shown by the characters should be an
example to us and these are the positive qualities that we can emulate.
- Gratitude
- Perseverance and determination
- Being truthful
