this is a link to a currency conversion. In the book the bet is 20000 pounds which is different in American currency. So this link converts the pounds into dollars.

-This is a picture of the book cover. There are very different book covers for this particular book. I find this important because it just starts off the book with adventure.

-This is an image of a pocket watch. In the book time is the most crucial  component. So Phileas Fogg is checking the time and day constantly.

Toccata, by Gideon Rubin is a very close match to the what i think the sound track of the book would be like at times. it is a very upbeat song and has its dramatic moments. The upbeat parts of the song remind me of when the main character, Phileas Fogg, is traveling frantically venturing around the world. The dramatic parts of the song go perfectly for when Phileas finds out he is being accused as a robber and is being chased by the police while still trying to make it around the world in 80 days.
