Because of the SEW week, I plan to finish reading the book in the next two weeks or so. This week I read all of the short stories and poems defining the meaning of "pride" or even relating to it. One short story particularily caught my eye. It was about a girl with a imaginary friend who always used her own property. She knows that she is more superior than her friend because she knows that her friend is "nothing". However, one day she looks at the mirror and realizes that it was actually herself.
"'Pride isn't just thinking you hate everything and that you are better than anyone else.' She would tell me, 'It can be judging yourself too harshly' I never believed her when she talked about these pride issues." The rest of story most definitely defines this quote, therefore making this quote the actual theme of the story. I chose this story as my main focus because of one similar experience I had in my young days where I once reflected amonst the mirror. This story gifted me with both tragedies and enlightenment.

The book so far is fairly well-organized, with Jules Verne actually calcuting the days where Fogg, the protagonist, travels from country to country. Fogg is presented as a positive character that mostly never gives up. He leaves London to accomplish his mission, after accepting his wager for 20000 currency from his fellow club memebers.
When I read this part of the book, I realized that Fogg was a person of great character. Jules Verne is really a man of great imagination. 80 days around the world it self is a great idea to be thought of. Because there were no airplanes existing at that time, people then had to think of traveling by rail and boats. I think traveling this far is just fairly impossible and I would just be too lazy to move out of Korea. I wouldn't be exciting at all because of boat fever.

Blog #1 Jules Verne
Jules Verne is a man of science fiction. He writes about air, earth, flying and many other types of ideas. I assume that he recieve most of his ideas from the internet of by actually traveling himself to different cultures. Jules has a variety of minds, every point large and imaginative. He lives in a fourth dimensional world, and most of his famous books are in films in the present. Jules wrote many poems, essays, short films, and plays. His writing style is like one of random thoughts.
