    I predict he feels nervouse because he is not sure if he is going to make it in time and what if he loses the bet he will be ashamed. I also think he is excited because he gets to travel around the world and win a bet if he could.
    Gold: What can we infer about the relationship between Fogg and his servant Passepartout? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
    I wouldn’t say that Passepartout is his servant i would say assistant and that Passepartout is nervous because he is not sure if he made a bad decision to go on the mission incase something bad happens.

    ” In eighty days! Impossible,”exclaimed Fogg’s friend.

    Silver: How does Fogg feel about his upcoming journey around the world? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
    I think Fogg feels nervous because in the text it said that he spoke quietly and he muttered. Also I think he feels excited because he wants to go around the world and he accepted the bet.

    Gold: What can we infer about the relationship between Fogg and his servant Passepartout? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
    I think the relationship between his servant Passepartout was good before but because now he has to go around the world with him he probably feels nervous. I know this because in the text it says that he gasped that he heard the news about going around the world in eighty days with Fogg.
