  1. Story Loves Essay A Summer Affair In Search of Literature Aaron Hahn

  2. Introduction • We are all aliens to one another and even to ourselves. How can we understand ourselves and others? • Psychology, history, language and art are the four main clues to achieve that mission without direct involvement of science. • In this course, you will explore human mind through these four different fields. • EX) Prometheus(film) This movie begins with ancient paintings on cave walls. Why is it important to express one’s idea and understand it? In what extent, it is similar or different to and from anatomy to interpret books or art? Are robots able to do this as well as humans do? The Purpose of ESL- Verbalization

  3. Advanced Level • We are going to learn a classic book in two forms(story and essay) every class and watch the movies related to those books. • Afterwards, we will work on revising the stories using the given word list in the second half of the class; it is a two hour long class. • In each class, a group of storytellers will be chosen to deliver a speech and the class will talk about the topics and themes of the stories. • The homework will be writing an essay on the themes we discussed on the previous lesson. The goal: Improving writing skill and debating skill through creative activities

  4. Lesson 1 Interesting SubjectThinking about the People, Places, and Things around the World while Understanding the Elements of Writing [Introduction to the Stories and Movies Covered in This Course] • Focus: noun, pronoun • Choose your character and subject matter: you are going to find three most interesting pictures(person, place, and thing) for this purpose and do some online research on them. - Type one keyword you want to write about. Why is it interesting? EX) A shrunken head -> CSI Headhunter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P7ON2d6VtQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W06GMdL-E98 • Think about the daily life, interests, and personal relationships of your character.

  5. Writing a Short Story 1 Look at the world maps in different historical periods. ->Collect some pictures of the setting. It's like looking at a crystal ball.(Google maps, World and Issues, Britannica Encyclopedia) EX)Canada 2 What interesting things and people can you see there? -> Characters -> Collect some pictures of the characters. EX) Polar bears and the wilderness -People are lost in the wilderness and become polar bears because they don't want to go back to city life. EX)A crab fisherman finds a magical crab that will grant him three wishes. 3 What kinds of problems(Ex, bad changes, routines) does it cause or have? -> Events-> Collect some pictures of the events. EX) The seas are rough and he has hard time fishing and feels lonely. In fact, he hasn't caught any crab for five days. 4What if...? What if something happens to him? ->Hypothetical events What if my mom is an alligator? What if you meet an alien? What if there are giants living in the sky castle? What if you are a god? EX)What if he catches a magic crab?

  6. 5 Think about the solution for the problems. (Use the conflict patterns)-> Climax EX)The magic crab grants him wishes.. wishes for his needs (food, companion, money) BUT as one wish is granted, something of importance is taken away in return. For example, if the man wishes for many crabs to help him become wealthy, the crab will assume he no longer needs his home and can live on the boat catching and selling crabs. 6 What kind of ending do you think will happen? EX) The man has been living on the boat for three years now and misses his home and his lover. In the end the man makes one last wish and asks for everything to go back the way it was before. 7Write the story either realistically or fantastically ->Style EX) The story will be written fantastically because it involves a magic crab. 8Make the story universal. Find some universal theme(shared feeling) in the story. EX) Never take anything for granted. 9Choose the genre of the story. EX)Comic fantasy 10Improve your story using 8 parts of speech and different grammatical structures. EX)Write down 50 verbs, adjectives, and nouns to describe your story. 11Draw a picture of the most important scene in each chapter(beginning, middle, and the end) 12Watch some movie clips related to the scenes and gather some useful expressions. EX)War scene- Take it, It's yours! Somebody wants to die. -dialogues Ex) Descriptions of the scenes, emotions, relationships, thoughts and actions 13Read sample sentences (beginning, middle and the end)

  9. Chapter 1 The Fence Tom Sawyer lived with his aunt because his mother and father were dead. Tom didn’t like going to school, and he didn’t like working. He liked playing and having adventures. One Friday, he didn’t go to school—he went to the river. Aunt Polly was angry. “You’re a bad boy!” she said. “Tomorrow you can’t play with your friends because you didn’t go to school today. Tomorrow you’re going to work for me. You can paint the fence.” Saturday morning, Tom was not happy, but he started to paint the fence. His friend Jim was in the street. Tom asked him, “Do you want to paint?” Jim said, “No, I can’t. I’m going to get water.” Then Ben came to Tom’s house. He watched Tom and said, “I’m going to swim today. You can’t swim because you’re working.” Tom said, “This isn’t work. I like painting.” “Can I paint, too?” Ben asked. “No, you can’t,” Tom answered. “Aunt Polly asked me because I’m a very good painter.” Ben said, “I’m a good painter, too. Please, can I paint? I have some fruit. Do you want it?” OK,” Tom said. “Give me the fruit. Then you can paint.” Ben started to paint the fence. Later, many boys came to Tom’s house. They watched Ben, and they wanted to paint, too. Tom said, “Give me some food and you can paint.” Tom stayed in the yard, and the boys painted. They painted the fence three times. It was beautiful and white. Tom went into the house. “Aunt Polly, can I play now?” he asked. Aunt Polly was surprised. “Did you paint the fence?” she asked. “Yes, I did,” Tom answered. Aunt Polly went to the yard and looked at the fence. She was very surprised and very happy. “It’s beautiful!” she said. “Yes, you can play now.” Tom walked to his friend Joe Harper’s house and played with his friends there. Then he walked home again. There was a new girl in one yard. She had yellow hair and blue eyes. She was beautiful. Tom wanted to talk to her, but she didn’t see him. She went into her house. Tom waited, but she didn’t come out again. Chapter 2 In the Graveyard One morning before school, Tom’s friend Huck Finn waited for him in the street. Huck didn’t have a home, and he never went to school. People in the town didn’t like him. But Tom liked Huck. Huck said, “Let’s have an adventure.” “What can we do on our adventure?” Tom asked. “Let’s go to the graveyard at night—at twelve o’clock!” Huck answered. ‘That’s a good adventure,” Tom said. “Let’s meet at eleven o’clock.” Then Tom went to school, but he was late. The teacher was angry. He asked, “Why are you late again?” “I’m late because I talked to Huck Finn,” Tom said. Then the teacher was very angry. “Sit with the girls,” he said to Tom. Tom sat near the beautiful new girl. He was happy. He looked at her. “What’s your name?” he asked. “Becky,” she answered. Tom smiled and said, “My name’s Tom.” The teacher was angry again. “Tom Sawyer, stop talking! Go to your place now,” he said. Tom went to his place. At twelve o’clock Tom and Becky didn’t go home. They stayed in the school yard and talked. Tom said, “I love you. Do you love me?” “Yes,” Becky answered. “Good,” Tom said. “Then you’re going to walk to school with me every day. Amy always walked with me.” “Amy!” Becky said angrily. “Do you love her?” “No,” Tom answered. “I love you now. Do you want to walk with me?” But Becky was angry with Tom. She walked away and didn’t answer. Tom was unhappy. He didn’t go to school in the afternoon. That night Tom went to bed at nine o’clock, but he didn’t sleep. At eleven o’clock he went out his bedroom window to the yard. Huck was there. They walked to the graveyard. They stopped behind some big trees and talked quietly. Suddenly, there was a noise. Three men came into the graveyard—the doctor, Muff Potter, and Injun Joe. Injun Joe and the doctor talked angrily. Then Injun Joe Then Injun Joe killed the doctor with a knife. killed the doctor with a knife. Tom and Huck watched. Then they went away quickly because they were afraid. They went to Tom’s yard. Huck said, “We can’t talk about this. Injun Joe can find us and kill us, too.” “That’s right,” Tom said. “We can’t talk about it.” Tom went in his bedroom window. He went to bed, but he didn’t sleep well. Tom and Huck didn’t talk to their friends or Aunt Polly about that night because they were afraid of Injun Joe. Later, some men went to Muff Potter and said, “You’re a bad man. You killed the doctor.”

  10. Steak Tartare It was Mr. Bean's birthday, and he wanted to enjoy it! What could he do? 'How can I make this important day a happy day?' he thought. 'I know. I'll go out to a restaurant for dinner this evening! I'll enjoy that.' Mr. Bean didn't often eat in restaurants. They were sometimes very expensive. And he sometimes did things wrong when he was in a new or strange place. Oh dear! Life wasn't easy for Mr. Bean! That evening, Mr. Bean put on a clean shirt. He put on his best coat and trousers. He put on his best shoes. Then he drove to a restaurant in the centre of town. He arrived at eight o'clock and went inside. It was a very nice restaurant. Everybody was wearing their best clothes, and there were flowers on every table. 'I'm going to like it here,' thought Mr. Bean. 'This is a good restaurant for my birthday dinner.' The manager met him at the door. 'Good evening, sir,' he said. 'How are you? Would you like a table for one?' 'Yes, please,' said Mr. Bean. 'Follow me, sir,' said the manager. He walked across the room to a table, and Mr. Bean went after him. 'Here you are, sir,' said the manager. 'This is a nice table.' He pulled the chair away from the table. Then he waited for Mr. Bean to sit down. Mr. Bean looked at him. Why is he taking my chair away?’ thought Mr. Bean. ‘What’s he doing?' And he pulled the chair away from the manager and sat down quickly. When the manager went away, Mr. Bean sat quietly for a minute. Then he remembered something. He took a birthday card and an envelope out of his jacket. Next, he took out a pen and wrote 'Happy Birthday, Bean' inside the card. Then he put the card into the envelope and wrote his name on the outside of it. He put it on the table, and put his pen back into his jacket. After a minute or two, Mr. Bean pretended to see the card for the first time. 'Oh! A card - for me?' he said. He opened the envelope and took out the card. He read it carefully. 'Now that's nice!' he said. 'Somebody remembered my birthday!' And he stood the card on his table. The manager arrived with the menu and gave it to Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean started to read it. 'Oh, dear!' he thought. 'Everything's very expensive! What can I have?' Mr. Bean got out his money. He had a ten-pound note and some coins. He put the money on to a plate. 'How much have I got?' he said, and he moved the money round on the plate. 'Ten, eleven ... And forty, fifty, fifty-five! Eleven pounds and fifty-five pence.' He looked at the menu again. What could he eat for eleven pounds fiftyfive? The manager came to his table. 'Are you ready, sir?' he asked. 'Yes,' said Mr. Bean. He put his finger on the menu. 'I'll have that, please.' The manager looked at the menu. 'The steak tartare, sir. Yes, of course.' 'Yes,' said Mr. Bean. 'Steak.' The manager took the menu and went away. Mr. Bean sat and looked round the restaurant. There were a lot of people in the room. There was a man and a woman at the next table. They ate and talked. Suddenly, a waiter arrived at Mr. Bean's table with a bottle of wine. 'Would you like to try the wine, sir?' he said. 'Oh, yes please,' said Mr. Bean. The waiter put some wine in Mr. Bean's glass and Mr. Bean had a drink. It was very nice! He smiled, and the waiter tried to put more wine into the glass. Of course, the waiter was right. First, the customer tries his wine. When he is happy with it, the waiter gives him more wine. But Mr. Bean didn't know this, and he quickly put his hand across the glass. 'No, thank you,' he said. 'I don't drink wine when I'm driving.' The waiter looked at him strangely - and walked away. He didn't say, 'Why did you try the wine when you didn't want it, you stupid man!' Mr. Bean took the knife from the table and started to play with it. He pretended to be a bad man. He pretended to push the knife into somebody. But he didn't really want to kill anybody, of course. It was a game. The woman at the next table looked at him angrily, and Mr. Bean quickly moved the knife. Next, he hit the glasses and plate on his table with it. Ping, ping, ping they went! And after a minute, he played the song 'Happy Birthday' on the glasses. He smiled and thought, 'I'm very clever!' But the woman at the next table didn't think, 'That's clever!' or 'Oh yes, that's funny!' She thought, 'That man's really stupid!' And she looked hard at Mr. Bean.

  11. CHAPTER 1 PHILEAS FOGG AND PASSEPARTOUT In 1872, the Reform Club in London's Pall Mall was a club for men only. PhileasFogg went to the Preform Club every day. He left his house at 7 Savile Row at 11.30 in the morning and walked to the club. He had his lunch and his dinner there. He read the papers at the club, and he played cards. He left late in the evening and walked back to Savile Row. He went to bed at midnight. PhileasFogg was a cold man. He didn't talk much, and nobody knew much about him. But everything in his life had to be right. His washing water had to be at 31°C — not 30°C and not 32°C. At 9.37 on the morning of 2nd October 1872 his servant, James Forster, brought him water at 30°C, not 31°C. So this servant had to go. PhileasFogg sat at home in his Savile Row house. He waited for his new servant. The new servant came. He was about thirty years old. 'You are French,' said PhileasFogg,'and your name is John?' 'No,' said the new servant.' My name is Jean, MrFogg. They call me Jean Passepartout, because in French a " passepartout" can open every door. When things are bad, I can always get out. I can get out of anything!' 'Tell me about your work,' said PhileasFogg. 'I am a good man and I can do a lot of different jobs,' said Jean Passepartout. 'I was a fireman in Paris. And ... look!' Passepartout did a high jump, then put his left leg and then his right leg on his head. He was a strong man. 'But I left France in 1867,' said Passepartout,'and I came to England. I want to be a servant. I am looking for a quiet life. People say that you are the quietest man in Britain. So I want to work for you. I want to live quietly now. I want to forget the name " Passepartout".' 'I'll call you Passepartout,' said PhileasFogg.' What time is it?' Passepartout pulled out a big watch and looked at it. 'It is 11.29, Mr. Fogg,' he said. 'All right. From now, 11.29 on 2nd October 1872, you are my servant.' With those words, PhileasFogg put on his hat and went out. There was nobody in the house, then, only Passepartout. 'Here I am,' the Frenchman thought.' But what do I do?' He went into every room in the house. He found his room, and in it there was a timetable. Everything was there, starting from 8 o'clock. PhileasFogg got up at that time. 8.23 Bring tea. 9.37 Bring washing water (31°C). 11.30 PF goes to the Reform Club. Then, from 11.30 in the morning to midnight, everything was on the timetable. Mr. Fogg always went to bed at midnight. Passepartout smiled. 'This is right for me,' he thought. 'Mr. Fogg is the man for me!‘ CHAPTER 2 THE BET It was 6.10 in the evening at the Reform Club. PhileasFogg was in the card room. He was at a card table with the same five men as yesterday and the day before and the day before that. PhileasFogg and the five men didn't usually talk when they played cards. But this evening, before the game started, the men talked about a newspaper story. A thief walked into the Bank of England and took fifty-five thousand pounds. Then he walked out again. One of the men at the card table, Ralph, had a very good job at the Bank of England. 'They'll catch the man,' Ralph said.' The best detectives are at every port. They know that the man is tall. He wears expensive clothes. They'11 find him.' 'Oh, I don't know,' said Stuart, another man at the table.' The world is a very big place.' 'It was a big place,' said PhileasFogg. 'What do you mean – “was”? Is it smaller now?' said Stuart. 'Yes,' said Ralph. 'I think Mr. Fogg is right. You can go round the world more quickly now.' 'All right,' said Stuart. 'You can go round the world in about three months, but that doesn't mean. .' 'Not three months,' said PhileasFogg. 'Eighty days.' 'Fogg's right,' said Ralph.' The Rothal to Allahabad railway, in India, is open now. Look — today's Times has a timetable for a journey round the world.' And he showed them, on the centre page of the paper. London to Suez — railway and ship 7 days Suez to Bombay — ship 13 " Bombay to Calcutta — railway 3 " Calcutta to Hong Kong — ship 13 " Hong Kong to Yokohama — ship 6 " Yokohama to San Francisco — ship 22 " San Francisco to New York — railway 7 " New York to London — ship and railway 9 " 80 days 'Yes,' said Stuart,' eighty days. It's all right on paper. But a lot of things can happen in eighty days. They can stop you on the way.' 'No, they can't, Mr. Stuart,' said PhileasFogg. 'Well, why don't you try, Mr. Fogg?' 'Go round the world in eighty days?' said PhileasFogg. 'All right. I have twenty thousand pounds in Baring's Bank. I'll bet all of it.' 'Twenty thousand pounds!' cried Ralph. ' Something will happen on the journey, and you'll lose all your money.' 'Nothing will stop me,' PhileasFogg said. In the end, PhileasFogg's five friends took the bet. 'Each person will pay you four thousand pounds — that's twenty thousand pounds — when we see you again here in the Reform Club in eighty days at the end of your journey round the world,' said Ralph.' Or you have to pay us twenty thousand pounds. That's the bet.' PhileasFogg thought for a minute. ' Today is Wednesday, 2nd October. So I have to be back here, in this room in the Reform Club, on Saturday, 21st December at 8.45 in the evening.' At 7.25, PhileasFogg said good night to his friends and left the Reform Club. At 7.50, he opened the door of his house in Savile Row and went in. 'Mr. Fogg? Is that you?' said Passepartout. He looked at the timetable. This was not on the timetable. 'We are leaving in ten minutes for Dover and Calais,' said PhileasFogg.' We are going round the world.' Passepartout's eyes opened wide — very wide. He opened his arms then jumped on one leg. 'Round the world!' he said. 'In eighty days,' said PhileasFogg.' We have to go now. Now!' 'But your bags?' 'I'm not taking any bags. Well, one small bag. We can buy things on the way. Bring down my coat. Wear strong shoes. Move!' At 8 o'clock, Passepartout was ready with a small bag. ‘A quiet life,' he thought. 'Where is my quiet life?' PhileasFogg was ready. He had a book under his arm — Bradshaw's, a railway and ship timetable. He took the bag from Passepartout and put a lot of money into it. Then he gave the bag to Passepartout. 'Look after it,' he said.' There's twenty thousand pounds in it.' At the station, PhileasFogg saw his five friends from the Reform Club. 'You're here to say goodbye? That's kind,' he said. ' I'll have stamps in my passport for each country. You can see them when I come back.' 'We won't look at your passport,' said Ralph. 'You're an Englishman.' At 8.40, PhileasFogg and Passepartout took their places in the train, and at 8.45 the train started. Some days later, the police at Scotland Yard had a letter from their detective, Detective Fix. Suez, 9th October To Scotland Yard, London

  12. Summary The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother, Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence as punishment for the next day. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work.In the Sunday school, Tom does not manage to get a Bible because Mr. Walters knew he was trading tickets. Tom falls in fight against Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "bad" by killing him. But their romance collapses when she learns that Tom has been "engaged" previously, to a girl named Amy Lawrence. Shortly after being shunned by Becky, Tom accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night where they witnessed a live murder of Dr.Robinson. Tom, Huck, and Joe Harper run away to an island . While enjoying their newfound freedom, the boys become aware that the community is sounding the river for their bodies. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion. After a brief moment of remorse at the suffering of his loved ones, Tom is struck by the idea of appearing at his funeral . Back in school, Tom gets himself back in Becky's favor after he nobly accepts the blame for a book that she has ripped. Soon, Muff Potter's trial begins, in which Tom testifies against Injun Joe. Potter is acquitted, but Injun Joe flees the courtroom through a window. Tom then begins to fear for his life as Injun Joe is at large and can easily find Tom. Summer arrives, and Tom and Huck go hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs they hear a noise below. Peering through holes in the floor, they see Injun Joe disguised as a deaf and mute Spaniard. He and his companion plan to bury some stolen treasure of their own. From their hiding spot, Tom and Huck wriggle with delight at the prospect of digging it up. Huck begins to shadow Injun Joe every night, watching for an opportunity to nab the gold. Meanwhile, Tom goes on a picnic to McDougal's Cave with Becky and their classmates. That same night, Huck sees Injun Joe and his partner making off with a box. He follows and overhears their plans to attack the Widow Douglas. By running to fetch help, Huck stops the violence and becomes an anonymous hero. A week later, Tom takes Huck to the cave and they find the box of gold, the proceeds of which are invested for them. The Widow Douglas adopts Huck, and, when Huck attempts to escape civilized life. Tom tricks him into thinking if Huck returns to the widow, he can join Tom's robber band. Reluctantly Huck agrees and goes back to the Widow Douglas. Mr. Bean The title character, played by Rowan Atkinson, is a childish and self-centredbuffoon who brings various unusual schemes and contrivances to everyday tasks. He lives alone in his small flat in Highbury, and is almost always seen in his trademark tweed jacket and a skinny red tie. He also usually wears a digital calculator watch. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, and when he does, it is generally only a few mumbled words which are in a comically low-pitched voice. His first name (he names himself "Bean" to others) and profession, if any, are never mentioned. In the first film adaptation, "Mr." appears on his passport in the "first name" field, and he is shown employed as a guard at London's National Gallery.[11] In Mr. Bean's Holiday, however, his name is listed on his passport as "Rowan", the actor's first name.[12] Mr. Bean often seems unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the programme usually features his attempts at what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming, using a television set, redecorating or going to church. The humour largely comes from his original (and often absurd) solutions to problems and his total disregard for others when solving them, his pettiness, and occasional malevolence. At the beginning of episode two onwards, Mr. Bean falls from the sky in a beam of light, accompanied by a choir singing Ecce homo qui estfaba ("Behold the man who is a bean"). These opening sequences were initially in black and white in episodes two and three, and were intended by the producers to show his status as an "ordinary man cast into the spotlight". However, later episodes showed Mr. Bean dropping from the night sky in a deserted London street against the backdrop of St. Paul's Cathedral. At the end of episodes three and six he is also shown being sucked right back up into the sky in the respective background scenes (black scene in episode 3 and street scene in episode 6). Atkinson himself has acknowledged that Bean "has a slightly alien aspect to him".[13] In the animated series (episode 38, "Double Trouble") he is taken inside a spacecraft with "aliens" who look exactly like him and even have their own plushy toys. In an obvious homage, the aliens send him back home in a beam of light similar to the opening of the original Mr. Bean series. Whether Bean himself is an extraterrestrial is not clear. He lives in Flat 2, 12 Arbour Road, London. Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingtsjours) is a classic adventure novel by the French writerJules Verne, published in 1873. In the story, PhileasFogg of London and his newly employed FrenchvaletPassepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (roughly £1,324,289 today) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works. The story starts in London on Tuesday, October 1, 1872. Fogg is a rich English gentleman and bachelor living in solitude at Number 7 Savile Row, Burlington Gardens. Despite his wealth, which is £40,000 (roughly £2,650,000 today), Fogg, whose countenance is described as "repose in action", lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Foster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout, who is about 30 years old, as a replacement. Later on that day, in the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph, stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000 (roughly £1,320,000 today) from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days. Accompanied by Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on Wednesday, October 2, 1872, and thus is due back at the Reform Club at the same time 80 days later, Saturday, December 21, 1872. The itineraryLondon, United Kingdom to Suez, Egypt rail and steamer across the Mediterranean Sea 7 days Suez to Bombay, India steamer across the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean 13 days Bombay to Calcutta, India rail 3 days Calcutta to Victoria, Hong Kong steamer across the South China Sea 13 days Hong Kong to Yokohama, Japan steamer across the South China Sea, East China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean 6 days Yokohama to San Francisco, United States steamer across the Pacific Ocean 22 days San Francisco to New York City, United States rail 7 days New York to London steamer across the Atlantic Ocean and rail 9 days Total80 days Map of the trip Fogg and Passepartout reach Suez in time. While disembarking in Egypt, they are watched by a Scotland Yard detective named Fix, who has been dispatched from London in search of a bank robber. Because Fogg answers the description of the robber, Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal. Since he cannot secure a warrant in time, Fix goes on board the steamer conveying the travellers to Bombay. During the voyage, Fix becomes acquainted with Passepartout, without revealing his purpose. On the voyage, Fogg promises the engineer a large reward if he gets them to Bombay early. They dock two days ahead of schedule. After reaching India they take a train from Bombay (now Mumbai) to Calcutta (Kolkata). About halfway there, Fogg learns that the Daily Telegraph article was wrong—the railroad ends at Kholby and starts again 50 miles further on at Allahabad. Fogg promptly buys an elephant, hires a guide, and starts toward Allahabad. During the ride, they come across a procession, in which a young Indian woman, Aouda, is led to a sanctuary to be sacrificed by the process of suttee the next day by Brahmins. Since the young woman is drugged with the smoke of opium and hemp and is obviously not going voluntarily, the travellers decide to rescue her. They follow the procession to the site, where Passepartout secretly takes the place of Aouda's deceased husband on the funeralpyre on which she is to be burned the next morning. During the ceremony he rises from the pyre, scaring off the priests, and carries the young woman away. Due to this incident, the two days gained earlier are lost, but Fogg shows no sign of regret. The travellers then hasten on to catch the train at the next railway station, taking Aouda with them. At Calcutta, they can finally board a steamer going to Hong Kong. Fix, who has secretly been following them, has Fogg and Passepartout arrested. However, they jump bail and Fix is forced to follow them to Hong Kong. On board, he shows himself to Passepartout, who is delighted to meet again his travelling companion from the earlier voyage. In Hong Kong, it turns out that Aouda's distant relative, in whose care they had been planning to leave her, has moved, probably to Holland, so they decide to take her with them to Europe. Meanwhile, still without a warrant, Fix sees Hong Kong as his last chance to arrest Fogg on British soil. Around this time Passepartout becomes convinced that Fix is a spy from the Reform Club trying to see if Fogg is really going around the world. However, Fix confides in Passepartout, who does not believe a word and remains convinced that his master is not a bank robber. To prevent Passepartout from informing his master about the premature departure of their next vessel, Fix gets Passepartout drunk and drugs him in an opium den. In his dizziness, Passepartout still manages to catch the steamer to Yokohama, but neglects to inform Fogg. Fogg, on the next day, discovers that he has missed his connection. He goes in search of a vessel that will take him to Yokohama. He finds a pilot boat that takes him and Aouda to Shanghai, where they catch a steamer to Yokohama. In Yokohama, they go on a search for Passepartout, believing that he may have arrived there on the original boat. They find him in a circus, trying to earn the fare for his homeward journey. Reunited, the four board a steamer taking them across the Pacific to San Francisco. Fix promises Passepartout that now, having left British soil, he will no longer try to delay Fogg's journey, but support him in getting back to Britain as fast as possible to minimize the amount of his share of the stolen money that Fogg can spend. In San Francisco they get on a transcontinental train to New York, encountering a number of obstacles (and a Mormon missionary) along the way: a massive herd of bison crossing the tracks, a failing suspension bridge, and most disastrously, the train being attacked and overcome by Sioux warriors. After heroically uncoupling the locomotive from the carriages, Passepartout is kidnapped by the Indians, but Fogg rescues him after some American soldiers volunteer to help. They continue by a wind poweredsledge over the snowy prairies to Omaha, where they get a train to New York. In New York, having missed the sailing of their ship the China by 45 minutes, Fogg starts looking for an alternative for the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. He finds a small steamboat destined for Bordeaux, France. However, the captain of the boat refuses to take the company to Liverpool, whereupon Fogg consents to be taken to Bordeaux for the price of $2000 (roughly $38,519 today) per passenger. On the voyage, he bribes the crew to mutiny and make course for Liverpool. Against hurricane winds and going on full steam all the time, the boat runs out of fuel after a few days. Fogg buys the boat at a very high price from the captain, soothing him thereby, and has the crew burn all the wooden parts to keep up the steam. The companions arrive at Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland, in time to reach London via Dublin and Liverpool before the deadline. However, once on British soil Fix produces a warrant and arrests Fogg. A short time later, the misunderstanding is cleared up—the actual robber had been caught three days earlier in Edinburgh. In response to this, Fogg, in a rare moment of impulse, punches Fix, who immediately falls to the ground. However, Fogg has missed the train and returns to London five minutes late, certain that he has lost the wager. In his London house the next day, he apologises to Aouda for bringing her with him, since he now has to live in poverty and cannot support her financially. Aouda suddenly confesses that she loves him and asks him to marry her, which he gladly accepts. He calls for Passepartout to notify the minister. At the minister's, Passepartout learns that he is mistaken in the date, which he takes to be Saturday, December 21, but which is actually is Friday, December 20, because the party had travelled eastward, gaining a day by crossing the International Date Line. The book page containing the famous dénouement (page 312 in the Philadelphia -- Porter & Coates, 1873 edition)[3] He did not notice this after landing in North America because the only phase of the trip that depended on vehicles departing less than daily was the Atlantic crossing, and he had hired his own ship for that. Passepartout hurries back to inform Fogg, who immediately sets off for the Reform Club, where he arrives just in time to win the wager. Fogg marries Aouda and the journey around the world is complete. On their trip around the world, Fogg and Passepartout carried only a carpet bag with two shirts and three pairs of stockings each, a mackintosh, a travelling cloak, and a spare pair of shoes. The only book they had was Bradshaw's Continental Railway Steam Transit and General Guide, which contains timetables of trains and steamers. Fogg also had a large roll of English banknotes, about half of his wealth or £20,000 (roughly £1,320,000 today), and 20 guineas (roughly £1,391 today) won at whist, which he donates to a poor woman on the way to catch his first train.[4]
