Around the world in 80 days

The book is: Around the world in 80 days by Jules
Verne. The book has 111 pages and the publisher is Vince.

We read the book because the teacher told us to and also because we saw the movie, so we thought it was very interesting.

The main characters are: Phileas Fogg who is the central character of the book; afterwards comes Jean Passpartout who is Phileas Fogg manservant and, finally, Mrs. Aouda who is the woman Fogg saves from burning alive.

Other characters are: Ralph Gautier and Andrew Stuart who are the ones that bet Phileas Fogg to travel the world in 80 days. Also another one is Inspector Fix, who blames Phileas Fogg for stealing the fifty thousand pounds from the bank of England. Plot summary: Around the world in 80 days is an adventurous book that tells how Phileas Fogg back in 1872, an English rich gentleman, makes a bet that he can go around the world in 80 days. In his journey he is accompanied by his French manservant, Passepartout. During his journey, he meets Mrs. Aouda in Bombay. It tells us how their adventures are and how sometimes situations don’t always go as we plan them. Our personal thoughts about Around the world in 80 days are that no matter how bad the situation is, we always have to move on, never give up and find better alternatives. We also liked the book because is very amusing and very interesting, because when you start reading
Around the world in 80 days you don’t want to leave the book.

The book is full of love, adventures and friendship. We also think and know that Jules Verne has made history by the books he has written and personally we think this is our favorite.

    The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is an adventurous novel about Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy Englishman who disguised himself under the false pretence of The Scarlet Pimpernel, a brave and clever man who used preposterous disguises to free innocent French aristocrats that had been convicted and were waiting to be put to death under the wrath of Madame Guillotine. Sir Blakeney was married to Marguerite St. Just, known to be the most beautiful and smartest women in Europe, but in France she was considered a traitor for revealing the Marquis de St. Cyr and his whole family to the bloody guillotine to help her brother Armand get revenge for almost being killed for loving the daughter of an aristocrat. This act of hers disgusted Blakeney, who started showing no love for her even though he would have done anything for her. Although Marguerite still loved her dear Percy, she couldn’t help feeling that he was a pompous jerk. Sir Blakeney’s arch-nemesis Monsieur Chauvelin struck a deal with Marguerite in her assistance to capture the Scarlet Pimpernel and his league in return for her brother’s safe release, as Chauvelin had captured him. Soon after, she realized what a horrible thing she had done and repents to Sir Blakeney, disclosing all the information she knows about Chauvelin’s plan. Sir Blakeney promised to protect Armand and stop Chauvelin by sailing to France. After he had left, Marguerite found several letters in his room stamped with the Scarlet Pimpernel. She realized that he is the Scarlet Pimpernel and enlisted the help of Sir Andrew Ffoulkes. They sailed to Calais as fast as they could in an attempt to warn Sir Blakeney that Chauvelin knew his identity. Their attempt was in vein, but Sir Blakeney was clever enough to figure out what was in store for him. He escaped Chauvelin’s trap and released Armand, revealing Chauvelin as a cruel man and casting a shadow over his name and condemning him to the guillotine. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a story of…

    "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a satiric comedy about the quest of King Arthur. The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. Through satire and parody of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and the reasons behind their names. Throughout their search, they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier in the film and were not able to get into the castle. The movie ends with both King Arthur and Sir Bedevere being arrested for killing a real-life man who was a historian.…

    Monty Python and the Holy Grail has been a comic success in the film industry for almost four decades. The main reason for its success is because the jokes have kept the audience laughing whether they watched it in 1975 or just saw the comedy for the first time yesterday. Monty Python and the Holy Grail would fall under two categories of comedy, a satire and a parody. In contemporary usage, a parody is a work that imitates another work in order to; ridicule, ironically comment on, or poke fun at the work itself; the subject of the work, the author or fictional voice of the parody, or another subject. Satire on the other hand is usually witty, and often very funny, although the primary purpose of satire is not humor but criticism of an individual or a group in a witty manner. There are many examples of parody and Satire throughout Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In fact, the whole movie itself is a parody. The movie focuses mainly on King Arthur and his knights’ ridiculous quest to find the Holy Grail and any aspect of society during that time in history is subject to parody as well. The film follows King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table in a chef’s salad of adventures, mainly the quest for the Holy Grail. Three medieval concepts that reoccur continuously in the movie are knighthood, chivalry, courtly love and the wheel of fortune. These motifs are more seriously depicted in the book Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and from tales in the book the Canterbury Tales.…

    Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.…

    In The Maltese Falcon (1941), Humphrey Bogart plays Sam Spade, a private eye detective who is lured into the chase for a bird statue by a mysterious and deceitful woman named Ruth. His objectives are to find the Maltese Falcon, and discover the murderer of two crimes: the death of his former partner, Miles Archer, and another man named Thursby. He also wishes to prove his innocence for the murder of his partner because the police have him as the prime suspect. Sam approaches these problems by using his street smarts and investigative skills to follow a trail. Many times, he uses his uncanny ability to read expressions, words, and actions to see through lies and find the truth. This is evident when “Ruth” returns to his office and Spade reveals he knew she was lying all along about her sister’s disappearance (17:10). She eventually reveals her true identity as Brigid, and Sam is able to pull so many facts out of her that normal people would overlook. The obstacles to his goal are the many forces searching for the Maltese Falcon, and how each of them vie for his services.…

    The case talks about the risks and highly competitive environment faced by the director and his agent in the creation of the block buster movie “lord of the rings”. Lord of the rings has 3 parts they are fellowship of the ring, the two towers, and the return of the king. The case talks about the difficulties and problems faced by peter Jackson who is the director and his agent ken kamins. It was one of the biggest gamble in the movie history because everything with the movie was very uncertain, like the director was a unknown one and to top it the movie was shot 7000miles were the studio executives had little control over what was happening in the set. However at the end lord of rings movie made about US$500million dollars and also winning four Oscars at the end of that year. Lord of the rings became one of the biggest blockbuster and also a very big success story. Industry: Entertainment Industry Sub-industry: Film Industry New entrant: New line To make the movie the rights had to be secured from JRR Tolkien’s novel. Saul zaents who was the producer had brought the rights from Professor Tolkien for a rumored amount of US$15000 before 30years. Jackson’s screen play was nominated for Oscar in 1995 which helped him to have a deal with Harvey who is the head of Miramax. After which Jackson and his agent asked help of Harvey so as to obtain the rights from Saul. Since Harvey and Saul knew each other well, it opened the door for Harvey to buy the rights from Saul at US$3 million. We feel Harvey who is the head of Miramax has a very good bargaining power in this case. Jacksons plan was to make three different movies which would be the trilogy. Without much time Miramax felt the heat of what they were going to do and they felt the proposition was going to be very expensive. Harvey who is the head had gone to Disney so as to ask them to be a partner in the project, which they refused. And when Disney…
