Age of Exploration (8)


The technological innovations of the 19th century started the age of exploration. With the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad in the United Sated and the opening of the Suez Canal, it may it possible for people to travel around the world. The theme of this novel is the newborn possibility and freedom that rose from the technological boom. For this reason, the author tries to imply that nothing is impossible if you try. For instance, despite all of detective Fix’s plans that end up interfering the journey, Mr. Fogg ends up making it back to Liverpool in time.
