        <description><![CDATA[The custom of Suttee involves the destruction of a widow following her husband’s death.  It is an old Hindu custom.  The widow was burned to death.  The widow’s age is irrelevant.  Some believe the custom evolves around the story of the goddess Sati.  She was grieving for her deceased husband.  Feeling overwhelmed by her grief she threw herself upon the fire of his pyre.  It became illegal in India in 1892.  However, some believe...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Oh golly! I think your decision is brilliant, ESPECIALLY given the theme of the year.  Teaching material "because that's the way we've always done it" is the quickest was to bore students and burn out teachers. Literature must be made relevant to today's students, and Verne's book is absolutely relevant! Of course, his creative inventions that actually became real things is tremendously interesting (I think Verne has more in common there with...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Phileas Fogg, Detective Fix, and John Bunsby, "master of the Tankadere", are headed for Shanghai from Hong Kong.  Fogg, who has missed the Carnatic, the ship on which he was originally supposed to sail, needs to be in Yokohama by the 14th in order to catch a boat to San Francisco.  The Tankadere is only a pilot-boat "of scarcely twenty tons" however, and it would be too risky to take such a small vessel on such a long voyage at this...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Mr. Francis decided to rescue the widow.
Sir Francis Cromarty, a corpsman, was traveling across India by elephant with Phileas Fogg and Passepartout when they came upon an elaborate funeral procession deep in the "savage territory...in Bundelcund".  The procession was led by Brahmin priests, who were surrounded by "men, women, and children, who sang a kind of lugubrious psalm".  Behind them was a cart carrying "a hideous statue with four...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Passepartout first met Detective Fix quite by accident.  The date was Wednesday, the 9th of October, and Fix was in Suez, awaiting the arrival of the steamer Mongolia.  Fix was "one of the detectives who had been despatched from England in search of (a) bank robber; it was his task to narrowly watch every passenger who arrived at Suez, and to follow up all who seemed to be suspicious".  The object of his search was Mr. Phileas Fogg, whom...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Phileas Fogg used to leave the house for the club at (c) half past eleven.
Phileas Fogg, a member of the Reform Club, was quite an eccentric gentleman who was himself and who required all those around him to be "almost superhumanly prompt and regular".  Known to be "the least communicative of men", his daily habits were nonetheless "quite open to observation...(and) whatever he did was...exactly the same thing that he had always done...]]></description>
