Hi! In order to know a little bit more about Jules Verne, author of Journey to the Center of the Earth, and, at some point, to get to know his work better, I would ask the following questons:

Explanation:

Jules Verne was born on February 8th, 1828, in Nantes, France. His parents were Pierre Verne -an attorney from Provins-, and Sophie Allote de la Fuÿe -a Nantes woman from a local family of navigators and shipowners-. He also had three younger sisters named Anna, Mathilde, and Marie.

When he was 19, he was sent to Paris by his parents to study in the Law School, and while there he started to feel interested in theatre and playwriting. Also in Paris, he made friends with Alexandre Dumas' son and they introduced him to another man who allowed him to write in a journal, that is how he started his writing job.

He died on March 24th, while ill with Diabetes, at his home in Amiens. His son, Michel Verne, oversaw the publication of the novels Invasion of the Sea and The Lighthouse at the End of the World after Jules's death.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
