Q2 blog 3
In the book Journey to the Centre of the Earth, I have come to a few very fascinating chapters. Jules Verne began showing actual runic characters, with translations to them. In his book I now see how people spoke in the nineteenth century but now also the seventeenth century. I find this very interesting to see how he wrote his novel with historical accuracy, because he is considered the father of science fiction. In the book I see a mix of historical and scientific accuracy. Its very interesting to see how he combined both of these instruments to make his novels. In the book, I have now come to where the professor and his nephew have left Germany and headed out to Iceland where the professors beloved runes are leading him. Axel is both excited and devastated about this journey, because he must leave his girl and home and all he knows, but he is going off to study rocks, his other love in life.
