    “No one can go around the world in 80 days”exclaimed the Colonel.
    “That silly little ‘ 2 year old ‘ thinks around the world in 80 days “Muttered the Colonel.
    “Pardon”gasped Phill.
    “I bet you £1m “agreed the Colonel.
    Silver: How does Fogg feel about his upcoming journey around the world? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
    My prediction is that he will feel 60% exited because he is really good at engineering and he could win £1 million and become a millionaire and he feels 40% sad because if he loses the bet he would have to lose lots of money on paying the Colonel meals for the rest of his life!
    Gold: What can we infer about the relationship between Fogg and his servant Passepartout?
    Passepartout can help out if something bad happens, if fogg needs help and for anything really.
    and Fogg can do the same.

  13. Ibrahim M.

    Gold :
    We can infer that Passepartout will be a bit angry for the first few days because in the text he says “All I wanted was a quiet life!” but he will probably make friends with Phileas because they will be together for 80 days.

    “I can circumnavigate the world.” exclaimed Phileas Fogg
    “ I know you can’t.” bet the Major.
    “Watch and learn.” muttered Phileas
    “What!?” Gasped the Major
    Silver
    I think his is very determined and excited but nervous because the 1 million is up for grabs and he could be the colonel and the major servent feeding them. This is because when he said “ We going all around the world” he was so excited.
    Gold
    The servant and Phileas must help each other because they were excited but if anything goes wrong the servant will help.

    1. Jensen C.

    Silver
    Phillips Fogg was so excited for his excellent journey and he started to go and he ran of very happily.

    Gold
    I can infer that Phillips Fogg will be Bach in 80 days in the next chapter.

    “No!” exclaimed Phileas Fogg.
    “Do you accept the bet?”
    “Around the world?” gasped one of his friends.
    “A fine thing!” muttered Passepartout as he packed a bag
    Silver
    Phileas was very excited and felt like it was all going to turn out good, he didn’t think of anything else except the invention he was going to make. Passport was goo about this too and they worked out the dates.

  27. Yedullah S.

    Bronze
    “exclaimed”, “muttered”, “gasped”, “bet”
    “We can’t get around the world in 80 days!” exclaimed Passepartout.
    “We can go around the world in 80 days, and I’ll prove it,” muttered Phileas under his breath.
    It was only a matter of time until they gasped, “Oh No! Our plane is BROKEN!”
    Fogg said, “I will bet £20,000 that I can travel this world!”
    Silver
    Fogg feels confident because the text does not indicate that Fogg is feeling any other emotion and in the second to last line of the text, the text for Phileas is showing exclamation marks. As he is instructing Passepartout to pack up, there is no emotion showing as if he was not feeling surprised or frightened but rather as he is feeling happy .

    “ you can do it I did it in 80 minutes now you do it in 80 minutes now you do it in 80 days. “ exclaimed fogg

    “I bet you £ 200,00 If you do it!!!! “ explained fogg
    “I wish .”muttered the other player
    Silver:
    Mr fogg friend would probably feel uncomfortable for his journey because he doesn’t feel ready and prepared and he is also expecting it in 3 months .

    Maybe let’s do a bet “muttered”, The colonel
    Phileas Fogg “gasped”, oh I’ll make that deal sir.
    you can never defeat me let’s “bet” on it sir.
    Silver
    I think he will be excited because £1million is on the line and miserable because if he loses he has to pay for colonels food for the rest of the year.
