Chapter 11

https://youtu.be/oydC7ZJnHqU
12. How is Passepartout's character changing here? How do you think this change will affect the story's outcome?

13. What does Fogg pay two thousand pounds for in chapter 11?
a. An elephant
b. A plane ticket
c. A hot air balloon
d. A boat ride
Chapter 12
Think: Fogg and Passepartout are foils of each other. A foil is a character who contrasts another character, which highlights those opposing qualities in both characters. As you read, notice how Fogg is always carefree and confident while Passepartout hardly ever stops worrying about their journey.
14. Look up the word suttee. Based on the definition, we know that the group is watching
a. a funeral procession

________________________________________________________________
Note: Mood is the atmosphere that an author creates through his or her writing. Notice how the imagery Verne is using contributes to the mood of this tense scene here.

a. The hours passed, and the lighter shades now announced the approach of day
b. The slumbering multitude became animated
c. This was the moment.
d. The doors of the pagoda swung open
Chapter 14
Note: By now you have likely noticed that the chapter titles relay one of the main ideas of that chapter. This chapter title lets the reader know that the group is still traveling in India, but also highlights a character trait of Fogg's: that he really doesn't care about his journey or where he is traveling beyond the fun of winning the bet. This whole journey is a game to him-- similar to the games of whist he enjoys.
17. Reread the paragraph in chapter 14 that begins, Her shining tresses, divided in two parts This paragraph tells the reader that Aouda is known to be
a. intelligent
b. beautiful
c. kind
d. All answers are correct
Note: The Ganges River runs through India and Bangladesh. It is celebrated as holy by Hindus, but it is also one of the most polluted rivers in the world due to governmental corruption and poor environmental planning.
Chapter 15
18. The policeman could want to detain the group for a number of reasons.This could beabout the bank robbery, Passepartout'sindiscretion, or the rescue of Aouda. Why do you think Verne is putting up so many obstacles for the characters to overcome? How do these incidents move the plot along? (Please answer in 3-5 descriptive sentences.)

20. What is Fixs main goal?
a. to marry Aouda
b. to enjoy his journey
c. to win the bet
d. to arrest Fogg

Chapter 17
21. How is Passepartouts hypothesis about who Fix is wrong? Why do you think Passepartout comes to this conclusion?(Please answer in 3-5 descriptive sentences.)
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________

a. The members of the Reform Club
b. The Scotland Yard

Chapter 23
Think: This chapter title is an allusion to the story of Pinocchio.

Knowing what you do about the story of Pinocchio, what do you think the connection might be?

Note: Again, we see the theme of time and the symbolism of watches and timepieces.
