Then one day the captain walked in and introduced himself. He told the men that his name was captain Nemo, and that they were aboard the Nautilus. He told them that he despised life on land, so he built a submarine, and decided to live underwater. Captain Nemo said that he got all of his necessities from the ocean, and that nobody knew about the submarine except the crew, and the three men
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Some time ago, I decided to read Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, by Jules Verne. I figured that because it was so well known it must be an extremely interesting book. In addition, it was science fiction, the one area that I was always interested. My assumption was only partially correct, for I only was to a degree interested in the piece of writing. When Jules Verne was writing this book, he must have been reading some incredibly dull science book the
“Quick! To the cellar” I shrieked sprinting to the narrow stairwell leading to the musty, old cellar. We would be safe there...I think. The herd of angry sea rats was swallowed by the mouth of the entrance of the lighthouse. I looked back to see the sea rats running on top of each other trying to grasp anyone of us. We finally reached the cellar. Itchoua heaved the rusty bolt that locks the cellar up into the lock. “Quick! Move the barrel over to the door” Le Gleo ordered pointing to the place he

Hey you! Now that I have your attention may I ask you if you have ever seen the movie Finding Nemo? If so, then you would know why he was taken, right? IF you haven’t then all that can be said is that it was his fault. It could have easily been avoided if he had listened to his father. Although it was just a Disney movie, it still relates to the topic that people in a fatal situation should be held accountable for their actions. Like the men aboard the James Carid, some life or death situations
“I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating. I do not, therefore, obey its laws, and I desire you never to allude to them before me again!" - Captain Nemo. These strong words that echoed through out the natallius showed that a man thought to be good and science loving, could turn it into such an evil thing. Pierre Aronnax in the story 20000 leagues under the sea by Jules Vernes, faces a large conflict with only
In the world, there are currently over 140 nuclear-powered ships, each of which is powered by more than 180 miniaturized nuclear reactors. Although most of them are submarines, they can also range from icebreakers to aircraft carriers. While there have been many people to contribute to the research and development of nuclear propulsion, none of them have been more influential than Admiral Hyman George Rickover, known as the “Father of the Nuclear Navy.” Accomplished in his naval career, he was a
Of all the poems in the catalog given to us in class, “The Chambered Nautilus” by Oliver Wendell Holmes was by far one of my favorites and definitely appealed to my emotion the most. The amount of figurative language used certainly added to the poem and enabled me to imagine a mental image of the scenes depicted through Holmes’ stanzas. Visual imagery is known to add depth to a piece of writing and appeal to human senses to further deepen the reader’s understanding of the work, hence the work leaving

American poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., in his poem, “The Chambered Nautilus”, compared the adventures and experiences of the nautilus to those of humans. The nautilus has many adventures throughout its course of short life that have shaped it to become beautiful, with many lessons to teach those who encounter it. The author uses metaphor, personification, and apostrophe to create imagery that assimilate to several people. The nautilus is considered beautiful because of what it’s been through and what
woman can accomplish a lot more than first thought. Marianne Moore also uses descriptions from Greek mythology. She refers to the ancient serpent Hydra, Cancer the crab and the hero Hercules. These references give us an idea that Moore portray’s the Nautilus and women, to be strong and adaptable in a new modern society. From my understanding of the poem, the conflict is the inequality in which women were treated. Humanity did not believe that women were capable of accomplishing everything such as man

In 1797, Fulton traveled to Paris where he revealed his idea of the Nautilus, a submarine-like machine, to the French in hope that his model would be used in battle. His proposal was rejected due to the immorality of the concept, but Fulton funded and tested his own creation of Nautilus. The French government then passed the Nautilus for battle use, but the vessel was too slow, however, and British ships could evade its attacks (Curley
Jules Verne’s science fiction novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea delivers profound insight into historical events which influenced the work. Through Verne’s descriptive style, one is able to ascertain various political and foreign policy aspects that involved France during the time the novel was written. In addition, worldly issues and struggles can be accurately assessed. Due to Verne’s “detail and determination to explore questions of liberty and authority,” it is evident that he largely
