• The story begins in England. • We are introduced to Fogg, a very

precise man who regularly goes to the Reform Club every evening.

• At one such visit to the club to play cards, he gets into a conversation with his fellow card players as to whether it is possible to go around the world in eighty days.

• He believes that it is and is challenged to complete the adventure. Rachel Anne Xavier

• Fix, the detective follows Fogg all over world.

• He believes that Fogg is the bank robber who has robbed a great sum from the bank of England.

• He puts obstacles in Fogg’s path just so that he can arrest him whenever he gets the warrant from England.

• Passepartout too wonders whether his master might be a robber though in his heart he has ample trust in Fogg’s integrity.

Rachel Anne Xavier

• Fogg strives through various obstacles to reach London in time.

• He goes through Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York and finally Liverpool.

• Fix arrests Fogg at Liverpool and this delays our hero.

• He thinks that he has missed the deadline and hasn't reached London in time when in reality he reaches a full day earlier.

• Thus Fogg wins the wager and in the course of his travels, finds himself a worthy charming, beautiful wife too.

1 Phileas Fogg is very particular about time. He timed his life by a clock. There was a strange clock in a corner of the room. It showed the hours, the minutes, the seconds, the days, the months and the years….

3 Even a few minutes, an hour or a day earlier can make a difference. ‘To-tomorrow is Sunday!...Phileas Fogg had fifteen minutes to reach the Reform Club.’

LEISURE byWilliam Henry Davies

What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

Rachel Anne Xavier

Man not having time or making time to enjoy natureWhat life is if we lead hurries lives all the timeHave too much work and make no time to enjoy the little things around us. Quality of life is poor.

Should spend our free time enjoying and appreciating the beauty of nature. Nature is portrayed as a beautiful dancing lady with smiling eyes who then breaks into a smile.

Take time to enjoy nature and simple pleasures of life.

Life is meaningless if we have no time for leisure

Appreciating nature

A Fighter's Lines by Marzuki Ali

I am old and worn and have lost all my strength sufferingsand the history of the fight for independence have forced sacrificesthat know no name or life

from the wheelchair of the rest of my daysI, body and energy crushedsee and cannot do muchthese times are too big a challengefor the remnants of my crippled yearsthe net of deceit spread everywheredisturbs me

In the name of justiceWake up and form ranks sons of our ancestorBe braveAnd erect a wall of peopleStand up heirs of our freedom

I have no more voiceIt is you now who should speak

Rachel Anne Xavier

Persona – Old Soldier

Tired, old and weak

Suffered in the past

Believes that he will be in wheelchair for the rest of his life

Helpless and no energy left

Time has changed

Troubled by the too many lies told everywhere.

Calls on the younger generation to wake up and fight on

Urges the younger generation to fight or speak up for what is right.

Rachel Anne Xavier

After independence

First Stanza : sad and weary : melancholic

Second Stanza : Helplessness : Anger and contempt

Third Stanza : Serious and demanding

Ending : Persisting

Patriotism

Courages

Unity

We must be brave to uphold justice

We must be willing to make sacrifices to preserve our independence

we must be united to preserve our freedom
