1. In Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg makes an impulsive wager that he can travel around the world in eighty days
or less. This excerpt from the story is told from the third-person point of view, focusing on the perspective of Passepartout, Fogg’s loyal servant. How does focusing on Passepartout’s point of view affect the story? Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be one or two complete paragraphs.
Focusing on Passepartout’s perspective makes the story
objective. Passepartout doesn’t have a personal bias or have anything to prove
so he doesn't react impulsively or affectionately. (Greenleafable,
Brainly)“Being much less cool-headed than Mr. Fogg, he was
much more restless, counting and recounting the days passed over, uttering
maledictions when the train stopped, and accusing it of sluggishness, and
mentally blaming Mr. Fogg for not having bribed the engineer. The worthy fellow
was ignorant that, while it was possible by such means to hasten the rate of a
steamer, it could not be done on the railway.” This is a quote showing that the
narrator is telling the story from third person, not Passepartou from first, thus giving the story a more real and relatable aspect to it.
