20,000 LEAGUES

UNDER THE SEA


Classic by Jules Verne
Graphic by Carl Bowen
PowerPoint by Emily

CHARACTERS
Pierre Arronox- professor in search of the
monster they believe is a whale in the
classic and a narwhal in the graphic
Conseil- Pierres assistant and servant
who also came on the trip
Ned Land- King of harpoons. Has a
cannon as an arm and great eye-sight.
In the Classic novel they call him the
Canadian, This is not mentioned in the
graphic
Captain Nemo- crazy captain of the
Nautilus who takes them prisoner on his
ship.

SETTING
In 1866-1867
Leave New York and travel on
the ship Abraham Lincoln
until they are captured and
taken to the Nautilus. They
traveled 20,000 leagues on
the Nautilus, hence the title
of the book. Spend more
time at places they visit in
the classic novel though.

PLOT
People have started to notice
strange events out at sea all over
the world so they send the
professor and crew out to sea to
find what it was. They dont find a
creature but a submarine! This was
fascinating because in 1866 they
were no such things as submarines.
They were held hostage on the ship
by Captain Nemo. The only rule he
had was that when he said to go in
their cabin, they must do as they
are told. They went on many
adventures until they realized
Nemo was a madman, and escaped
in the moonlight. In the classic
novel it is much more descriptive.

CONFLICT
They cant leave the Nautilus
and Captain Nemo is a madman.
There are much more small
conflicts that happen in the
classic novel. Squids attack in
both, but Lack of air, sharks, and
other things are in the Classic.

MOOD
Adventurous underwater
It is sad at the end when Captain
Nemo is crying before the
pictures
It can be scary at times
It is happy though because the
characters are amazed at the
wonders they see

THEME
The theme is Underwater Fantasy. I
think this is also a bit of a Sci-fi
because it is in the future.

SOLUTION
They solve the problem by
escaping the Nautilus in the
moonlight.
