Aaron wrote the following claim statement for his literary analysis of the novel around the world in eighty days by jules verne. in around the world in eighty days, jules verne’s main character, phileas fogg takes an inner journey from a distant man who values punctuality to a loving friend who puts others’ welfare before his own interests. which quote from the story can he use as one piece of evidence to support his claim? a. from chapter 3: “a memorandum of the wager was at once drawn up and signed by the six parties, during which phileas fogg preserved a stoical composure. he certainly did not bet to win, and had only staked the twenty thousand pounds, half of his fortune, because he foresaw that he might have to expend the other half to carry out this difficult, not to say unattainable, project.” b. from chapter 4: “just as the train was whirling through sydenham, passepartout suddenly uttered a cry of despair. ‘what’s the matter? ’ asked mr. fogg. ‘alas! in my hurry—i—i forgot—’ ‘what? ’ ‘to turn off the gas in my room! ’ ‘very well, young man,’ returned mr. fogg, coolly; ‘it will burn—at your expense.’” c. from chapter 29: “the conductor was fighting beside mr. fogg, when he was shot and fell. at the same moment he cried, ‘unless the train is stopped in five minutes, we are lost! ’ ‘it shall be stopped,’ said phileas fogg, preparing to rush from the car.” d. from chapter 36: “one minute more, and the wager would be won. andrew stuart and his partners suspended their game. they left their cards, and counted the seconds.… at the fifty-seventh second the door of the saloon opened; and the pendulum had not beat the sixtieth second when phileas fogg appeared, followed by an excited crowd who had forced their way through the club doors, and in his calm voice, said, ‘here i am, gentlemen! ’”
