Based on the novel Around the World in 80 Days written by Jules
Verne, I would like to write on a character that I like the most.
As we know, this story is set on 1867 when a wealthy but meticulous bachelor, Phileas Fogg accepted his friends wager that he could complete his journey around the world in 80 days or he would lose his 20,000 pound bet. In the story, I like Phileas Fogg because he is a kind man. For example, in one event, he and his French butler, Passepartout had to stop at a village surrounded by thick forests on their way to Calcutta from Bombay. This was due to the 50 mile incomplete railway. To continue their journey, Fogg bought an elephant named Kiouni. On their way, they saw a group of bandits pulling over a girl. Right on that time, Fogg made a decision to save the girl, even though she was a total stranger to him. He was willing to risk his life as he was a kind man. At the end of the track, he presented Kiouni to his guide, Ali.Last but not least, Phileas Fogg is a kind man when he would always help his butler, Passepartout whenever he was in hot soup. When he was jailed in Calcutta for illegally entering a temple, without hesitate, Fogg paid 2000 pounds for his bail. Then, on their way to New York, when they were attacked by a group of outlaws, rather than leaving his butler and continued his journey, Fogg and 30 soldiers went on a search for him. He also rewarded the soldiers with $5000 for all their help. In short, I learn to be a kind person from Phileas Fogg. He taught me that we should always help others even though they are strangers because kind deeds will always be rewarded. In the end, despite all the
obstacles, Fogg won not only the wager but also the heart of Aouda, the girl he saved. They settled down in London while Passepartout remained his loyal butler.
