Verne Jules




                                
     

  
     I  like reading Verne Jules’ books.When I went  to school,I said a friend of mine that if he could give me a book.Then he brought me some books.I looked these  books ,then I decided to read “Round The World In 80 Days” and I also decided to do my term homework with this book.It was an enjoyable term homework for me,because I like reading books so much that I didn’t want to finish my term homework.I think this book has been specially prepared to make enjoyable reading for people to whom English is second or a foreign language.An English writer never thinks of avoiding unusual words,so that the learner,trying to read the book in its original form,has to turn frequently to dictionary and so loses much of the pleasure that the book ought to give.
   Teacher!!!
  I finished my term homework.Also now you are reading my term homework,so thank you for reading my term homework and I’m sorry for all my mistakes.

     Many writes today mix scientific facts and ideas with imaginative stories.It is a very popular mixture.Jules Verne found the secret of this mixture almost by accident.
     Jules Verne was born at Nantes,France,in 1828.He was a French writer.He was studying law when some travel stories which he wrote for a newspaper caught the public interest. When he was learning jurisprudence,he played theatre.He became a secretary for ‘Theatre-Lyrique’ and he staged some plays.They are ‘Pailles Pompues’ (1850), ‘Monseur de Chimpanze’(1860).He played a musicial theatre which  name is ‘Colin-Maillard’(1861).
    Jules Verne married with Honorine de Viane in 1857,so he became a very determined person.When he designed ‘Voyages Extraordiniaires’,he acquainted  with a woman who was an author,name was Jules Hetzel.They spoke then they decided that Jules Verne  would write forty books then they did agreement (1862).First he wrote ‘Cinq Semaines en Ballon’(1863).There are still people all over the world who enjoy them, although they  were written nearly a hundred years ago.He wrote them in French.Some people translated his books from French into many languages and some people published  most of his books on the cinema.

   He didn’t have any relative.He had a servant who was John Foster,did a mistake and Mr.Fogg  didn’t like mistake,so the servant must leave him.Then, the new servant whose name was Jean Passepartout,came.Mr.Fogg went to Reform Club,then he played cards with his friends.While they were playing cards,they talked about a great bank robbery.The robber had stolen 55.000 pounds.One member of Reform Club said that where the gentleman escaped with the money.Mr.Fogg said “The World was small!,because a man would walk around the world in 80 days.His friends didn’t believe that a man would walk  around the world in 80 days.Mr.Fogg and his friends began to  claim and then Mr.Fogg said that I could walk around the world in 80 days.If he could walk around the world in 80 days,Mr.Stuart  would give him four thousand pounds.

     (Mr.Fogg)
   Seven days later,a man who wanted to catch the bank robber,name was Mr.Fix.This man was a detective and he wanted to catch Mr.Fogg,because they thought that Mr.Fogg was the man who had stolen the money from the bank and they thought that Mr.Fogg wanted to do the World Tour for escape.
                                                                 
                                                                          
Then Mr.Fix went to Suez to wait Mongolia,because Mr.Fogg was in Mongolia.When Mr.Fix watched passengers,Passepartout came and they talked.Mr.Fix said passepartout that he never had seen his master on the deck.Passepartout said that Mr.Fogg hadn’t liked mixing with other people and Mr.Fix asked that if he had known that the journey round the world in eighty days might be an excuse for something else,some secret purpose,and the servant said that he hadn’t known and he hadn’t  wanted to know about that.Then On Sunday,October 20th,when they came India,Passepartout and Mr.Fix finished the talking.The ship reached Bombay two days earlier than had been expected.Then all the people went for a walk.The servant saw  Malabar Hill.He went to it,but he didn’t take off his shoes.While he was admiring the temple from the inside,three priests threw themselves upon him a good beating.The servant was easily able to get up,knocked them down,ran.  At five minutes to eight,only a few minutes before the train left,without any shoes,he reached the railway station.Mr.Fix and Mr.Fogg were there. Mr.Frogg said his servant not to be late and Mr.Fix change his idea.Namely,he didn’t go with Mr.Frogg,because Mr.Fix could arrest them for crime which the servant entered Malabar Hill with the shoes.
   The train journey started.In the train,Mr.Fogg made friends with Sir Francis.Mr.Fogg told him the world tour and they talked about everything.The train stopped at village of Kholby,but they wanted to go Calcutta.They must find another way of getting to Allahabad.Mr.Fogg were two days early,so he wasn’t angry.The servant found an elephant and Mr.Fogg bought the elephant,but its cost was two thousand pounds.A young Indian to serviced,Mr.Fogg.Sir Francis and the servant rode the elephant.At nine o’clock they started to go.
