Hello Seventh Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings about your ORB to this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations explained on the rubric (also on First Class).

Happy blogging!

Around the World in 80 Days - Acrostic

Athankful person
After Aodua was rescued by Mr. Fogg, Passepartout,and the Parsee, she was EXTREMELY thankful and expressed much gratitude toward them. During the boat ride to Hong Kong, she expressed her gratitude to him. Not only did she thank Mr. Fogg numerous times on the boat, but she also was generally kind to him, which Mr. Fogg enjoyed. Although, on the outside, Mr. Fogg seemed cold, it was a kind gesture on his part to suggest the rescue of Aodua.
Obtainable
Luckily, Aouda was obtainable. If she hadn't been, then she wouldn't have been rescued, Furthermore, Mr. Fogg wouldn't have found the love of his life and he would likely have never married. If she had not been rescued, than Mr Fogg's life might have been very different. One reason that made Aouda more obtainable was that Mr. Fogg was persistent. Without his good ideas and persistence, obtaining Aodua would have been impossible.

Uplifting.
When Aouda was rescued by Mr. Fogg, she felt uplifted from her current situation. When she was kidnapped by fanatical Hindus,she was drugged, and put on a stake to be burned. If she hadn't been drugged she would've been thinking how horrible her life was. Her new life with Mr Fogg was about to begin. Most people would agree that this was a turning point in her life and that it was a true uplifting moment.

Dainty
Aodua is a Parsee Indian princess. Most princesses are delicate and particular.She was a rather small princess and often appeared delicate and dainty.However,at certain times such as in choppy waves on the boat ride to Hong Kong, she put up with the waves and certainly didn't show those characteristics of a frail princess.

At risk
Aouda was at risk. She was forced to marry an old Rajah. However, he died. Once he died,then the fanatical Hindus came in and drugged her and force her onto a stake where she was to be burned.These evebts would likely not have happened to an ordinary person, only an important princess.
