The Deep Se The Truth Of The Hundred Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Has it ever occurred to you that there is another world among us? Beneath the deep blue sea is a vast landscape with plants and animals abundant. These animals are constantly forced to adapt to survive, showing just how strong and resilient they are. Three of these, however, stand out from the rest with features that allow them to survive in the harshest conditions.

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Some time ago, I decided to read Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, by Jules Verne. I figured that because it was so well known it must be an extremely interesting book. In addition, it was science fiction, the one area that I was always interested. My assumption was only partially correct, for I only was to a degree interested in the piece of writing. When Jules Verne was writing this book, he must have been reading some incredibly dull science book the day before, for that was what the book was written as. The style of writing was utterly against my tastes, and though the plot was moderately interesting, the style of writing really ruined it. Often, the author will trail off describing some

The deepest depths of the ocean are unfathomable, no one knows what creatures lurk down there.

It goes no deeper than 100 feet. They hunt for food close to them so them so they don’t have to enter cold water. They like to explore and play around. They live in tall sea plants and stay near the ocean floor.

The closest to the surface is the epipelagic subzone stretches to about 200m. This zone has enough sunlight and nutrients for bigger marine creatures like tuna, sharks, giant jellyfish and predator fishes. The second subzone, the mesopelagic, also known as the twilight zone, with the depth of 200m to 1000m; this zone has barely sunlight. The insufficient of sunlight prohibits organisms to perform photosynthesis in the twilight zone. Surviving in the twilight zone is about seeing and not being seen. These organisms need to be able to see their prey, but they should not be spotted by their predators. The next subzone is the bathypelagic ranging from 1000 to 4000 m, containing bioluminescent marine organisms which create light, like hatchet fish and squid. Below 150m, photosynthesis is impossible; hence there are only animals and no plants in this region and below. The animals living in the bathypelagic zone solely rely on detritus for food or on eating other animals. At this depth and pressure, the animals most commonly found are fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and jellyfish.Red, black and bioluminescent animals in this appear as completely black to others since there is very little to no light penetration at this depth. Following the bathypelagic is the abyssopelagic zone, locating with the depth of 4,000m, it is

Challenger Deep was given it’s name after the British survey ship, Challenger II, which recorded the location’s depth with an echo-sounder in 1951 (About the Mariana). Although the Challenger II is recognized as the first vessel to obtain a near accurate depth recording, Mariana Trench was actually first discovered by the H.M.S Challenger’s expedition in the 1870’s (About the Mariana).

Born on February 8, 1828, Jules Verne had spent most of his child hood in the small, seafaring town of Nantes, France. He was the son of a wealthy provincial lawyer, Pierre Verne and Sophie Allote de la Fuÿe, a local woman from generations with maritime history and Scottish ancestry. In 1829, the Verne family relocated to Quai Jean-Bart. In the same year, Verne's brother Paul was born. Following his brother would be three more sisters, Anna, Mathilde, and Maria in 1836, 1839, and 1842, chronologically.

In the novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne, the author develops a charming protagonist named professor Arronax. He and his faithful servant Conseil were originally aboard the Abraham Lincoln in search of a cetacean that had been destroying boats worldwide. They were on the boat a few months when the finally found this “cetacean” then it hit the Abraham Lincoln sending Conseil, Professor Aronnax, and his friend Ned Land overboard. They were soon rescued by a submarine. The submarine turned out to be the cetacean that had been destroying ships. They soon met Captain Nemo, a man who wanted to cut himself off from society so he built a submarine that

The United States Navy Diving Manual contains a wealth of information about diving from the history of diving to underwater physics and physiology. Start by browsing the U.S. Navy Diving Manual (located within the weekly readings) and then post a response to the following questions:

Similarly, there are innumerable lengthy passages dedicated to illustrating the scenery and life that Dr. Aronnax sees under the seas. He uses a porthole in the salon and his naturalist’s eye to see giant squids, sperm whales, baleen whales, dugongs, all manner of coral, and countless other creatures. Similarly, Captain Nemo takes Dr. Aronnax to enjoy the marvel of the sunken Atlantis. From the top of an erupting underwater volcano, “torrents of lava that were dispersed in fiery cascades” illuminate the ruins of the destroyed and ancient city (260).

You’ve only seen the top layer or the intertidal zone of the bright blue ocean but have you seen the layers beneath it. The sea creatures you've seen are the ones that are close to the intertidal zone, so think in your mind, Imagine yourself down in the deep-sea Looking at all these weird creatures all around you down the coral reef. You are a bit nervous because you think that they might bite you. But, they're not going to hurt you at all.

The thoughts, behaviors and actions of the human being are determined by the mind. The mind is a sensitive place, where our lives are processed, understood and used, to respond to situations that warrant our survival. In an emotional drama written by Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Deep End of the Ocean is a novel with the tension of a thriller, moving deeply through sensitive territories where Beth Cappadora must learn to survive an emotional catastrophe that will change her life forever. The Cappadora’s three-year-old son, Ben, is the center of their lives until he is gone one unfaithful day. Beth struggles to survive with this loss until one day, seven years later, she finds him. The novel follows the Cappadora’s as they cope with a new addition to their lives that presents twists, tragedies, and heartbreaks. Narratives play an essential role in understanding the subject of mental illness by recognizing that traumatic events, dysfunctional families, and the introduction to an unaccustomed environment are routine occurrences that instigate this condition.

The writer has the ability to make readers of his works empathize with him. His real life story is the same. In the poem, he presents a person who required empathy. The persona is torn between diving to the unknown future or to remain in his current situation. He has made his minds and determined to go under the sea. It does not matter whether the stories he will come back with from the dive will be pleasing or not. Upon return, he will address people using a Pub-lic Address System to narrate the ordeals he experienced under the sea (line 8). A character like that one is a character that makes people empathize with him. The author has used his history to develop the character of the persona of the poem. A character that is suffering and ready

Characters have a way of becoming real people with ideals, feelings, raw emotions and personality traits that anyone can connect with in their own unique way.  An adventure such as deep sea exploring is a chance few in the world get; being able to live it through Jules Verne’s book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, readers are able to escape from the world around them and dive deep into an underwater world of great proportions. Due to detailed accounts of mesmerizing and dangerous creatures that are thousands of leagues under the sea, as well as events that conflict with human morals, the reader is able to see what Pierre Arronax saw, be consumed by fascination like Conseil was, and feel imprisonment like Ned Land felt. Throughout the

Life on the deep sea-floor is minimal to none, the temperature of the sea at those levels is close to freezing. Such extremely cold water slows biochemical processes like chemosynthesis. Since they live in such deep waters, human activity has very little impact on their population which leads them to a lifespan of 15 to 30 years. However, there are oxygen-deprived zones where life hangs on and life is scarce; there are already hypoxic zones which means that there are some organisms out there living in an environment with low oxygen levels which is making life scarce. In some areas, however, deep-sea benthos are full of life and communities because hydrothermal vents and deep water coral reefs support diverse ecosystems. The animals that are
