b) Movie: Around The World In 80 Days.
It is a movie about Master Fogg and also his servant Passepartout. Passepartout was a loyal servant who took good care of his master’s money as they journey together.
From London to Rome, Italy; the kids watched how Passepartout became a hero who defeated the bull using a red cloth. The competition was in The Collosieum. Then, they travelled to India. There, Master Fogg stood against the traditional custom of burning a widow alive; beside her dead husband. Due to that, they saved Princess Aioda of India from being burnt alive.
Then, they travelled toChina and then to Japan. However, similarly; a robbery in London had caused Master Fogg to be the suspect. Thus, he was tailed by a British Officer wherever they are.
Passepartout was lured with wine and got drunk. He couldn’t pass the ship tickets to his Master. However, his master thought of another way to continue the journey. With determination, they arrived safely at Yokohama。
Meanwhile,Passepartout was carried to a ship when he was drunk but his money was stolen. Fortunately, the ship sailed to Japan. Arriving at Japan, he seeked for a job in a circus. When Master Fogg arrived Yokohama, he thought of looking for Passepartout in the circus. True enough, they met each other. Together, they continued their journey with Princess Aioda.
