Arronax’s companion, Conseil, has an overall neutral feeling about the submarine, stating that he thinks “like monsieur, I say what monsieur says, and you must not depend upon me to make a majority” (Verne 158). The class discussions regarding this topic were typically swayed towards the idea of the ship being a prison. Most people…

Only an Ent, a Great Wizard, or a horde of Goblins could rebuild a city that fast. And since we would have heard about the latter two, we have a reason to believe that an Ent helped Dale rebuild.

I saw him walking towards the city with a flag of some sort.” “Why would he be doing that, might I ask?” “Rebuilding the city, I guess.” “So that would be why the city grew so quickly.” By now, a Ents are slow and careful in their…
