continue his journey. When he missed his shipto Yokohama, he hired another boat to catchit in Shanghai. When he missed his boat toLiverpool, he hired a boat too.

Finally, Phileas Fogg never give up eventhough many bad things happened to him onhis journey. Even at the last minute when Mr Fixarrested him and put him in jail, he never gaveup. When Mr Fix apologised and released him,he did not waste time. He was determined forsuccess and quickly continued his journey.
