a critique of jules verne flaws.

j' verne was french. when he stopd studying law he wrote imaginary fiction. his first hit was in 1861 followed by others very popular for his detailed descriptions and vivid writing. when he wrote story of the submarine in 20 thousand leaguees under the sea and other hits such as from the earth to the moon,  readers felt it was so real that they asked when the flight up would be?

there is a major flaw in chapter 3 but more blatant is the flaw in the titles.

firstly the title is flawed. the word "leagues" seem to describe "under" kuz that is the title which is misleading because the depth of the ocen is not deep enuf for such numbers. we know the depth of the sea is around ten kilometers for french measure, and even the deepest trench is less than twenty kilometers so around 5 leagues deep so the title is not about under and is a bad title. he did mean travelling 20 thousand leagues yet that is not in the title. we will see he means the distance AROUND the planet they moved 20, 000 leagues while under the sea. yet that is stupid kuz the book starts with standard voyage on the sea surface. a better title would have been "hunt for the narwhal" which is the purpose of the book leading to the surprise travel under sea. kuz that is the purpose and his title lacks "travel." similarly the bad title "from the earth" is too obvious and lengthy just "a trip to our moon" especially when the academics taut us that long titles are bad just say the purpose. and why "the moon" many planets have a moon instead to our moon to be specific after all the whole popularity as above was specifics yet he faild at specifics.

and now the less blatant flaw. in the end of chapter 3 as verne describes the trip from the coast of new york even as a child as i read it i felt there was a problem and the adults as usual and as in the myth of the naked emperor the adults blindly defended the content as real without knowing where fire island was.

so i aksd the adults idiot parents who i often caut lying to me about any topic, and who knows how many more i did not catch/realize they also lied, and gave yhem a chance to say where fire isle was and based on the goal to get to "the north pacific" in chapter 3 they guessed fire isle was south from new jersey coast. but i checked and fire isle is north from new jersey which is dumb and unreal for the goal of getting to the pacific. my idiot parents shoulda said "we dont know" but they preferd to lie and guess.

anyway a true trip to the pacific would need to go south so "from brooklyn" would go along the EAST coast of staten isle to "sandy hook" and south. but instead the FRENCHY did not look at a map of the coast of u.s. 

!!

he has them loop two loops. iinsted of directly south to sandy hook point he has them go from brooklyn south then WEST to the joint of the hudson and east rivers  turning WEST. that is stupid he should not say they went west nor along "the coast of new jersey" until later but south along coast of staten isle until  sandy hook point insted of first to hudson.

worse flaw after telling us of sandy hook point he mentions "fire isle" far to the north east from sandy hook meaning in the story they loopd back north away from the pacific well if that is the goal then leave brooklyn going EAST to fire isle not as he wrote toward hudson. worse in the big picture  why go to fire isle if goal was pacific? either way flaw. if goal "fire" as he wrote then not hudson and if goal pacific then not north to fire isle. that is NOT real and the whole popularity was readers thout it was real. yet after all the detailed locations of where the ships sunk, verne not only errd but absurdly describes a trip west and south and then north east which is stupid. so i will fix.

the first chapter also faild to say who the story was about only telling the story of the shipwrecks. then in chapter 2 he said the pronoun "i" without telling WHO this i refers to.

so i fix: chapter one must start with who is reading the disaster news: "Professor Aronnax followed the mysterioous news of the shipwrecks sunk by a huge giant sea beast" added in the first line of chapter one and followed by the story of the shipwrecks. this is important for later the word "i" has been defined.

similarly i fix chapter 3 "the abraham lincoln would leave brooklyn soon, so professor Aronnax rushed to write a letter to his frends on fire island and near hudson river that he would go hunt the narwhal.  the ship traveld south from brooklyn along the east coast of staten island and south east around sandy hook point." this fixes the direction of travel and moves the other locations not mentioned for the boats travel but in a different manner.
