Use both passages to answer the questions that follow.Jules Verne, Father of Science FictionWhen a fierce sea monster attempted to sink merchant ships in 1865, the U.S. Navy sent a scientistand crew on a steamship to destroy it. But the monster had other ideas. It rammed the ship, tossingthose on deck into the sea. They survived by clinging to the only thing they could—the back of themonster! The men soon discovered that the creature was actually a submarine named Nautilus. Itsunusual design, speed, and strength were unlike any underwater vessels they’d ever seen. Thesubmarine’s evil Captain Nemo captured the scientist and two crewmen and hauled them aboard.Then Nautilus dove deep into the ocean, deeper than any submarine had ever gone. The captiveswere about to endure something no human had ever experienced: underwater life on the ocean floor.Where did this adventure happen? It took place in the imagination of author Jules Verne. In 1870, hewrote the story into a novel titled Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. This would become afavorite for many readers. It was just one of many books Verne wrote about voyages he dreamed ofwhen he was a child.Sea DreamsJules Verne was born February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France. Growing up, he enjoyed going to hisfamily’s summer home. From there, he could see the docks, watch clipper ships and schooners, andpretend he was aboard. Often he and his younger brother Paul rented small boats and went sailing—close to shore, of course. But in his mind, Jules traveled the world in vessels not yet invented andexplored places yet unknown.The Road to SuccessDespite Jules’ desire to become a writer, his father, a lawyer, sent his son to Paris to study law. Buteven as a young man, Jules Verne continued to retreat to travels in his imagination. He completed hislaw studies but never worked as a lawyer. Instead, he remained in Paris and began writing plays andshort stories. After he married a widow with two children, Verne joined his wife’s brother workingin a stockbroker’s office. This job allowed him to support his family while also giving him time towrite.Verne enjoyed writing his plays and stories, but he yearned to write novels. What set him apart fromother writers of his day was his obsession with travel to places never explored: the bottom of theocean, the middle of the earth, and outer space! Although not a scientist, he read about all kinds ofsciences and had many discussions with scientist friends. The knowledge he gleaned enabled him topicture worlds and technology that might become possible in the future. His first novel, Five Weeksin a Balloon, told adventures of people floating over Africa in a balloon. This type of voyage hadnever been undertaken when the book was released in 1863. Since that time, of course, balloonistshave taken even longer trips over several continents.A New Type of FictionHis first novel was so successful that Verne was able to leave his job and write full time. It took twoyears to transfer his futuristic undersea adventure from his imagination to paper. He didn’t know thathe was creating a new type of literature that would become a favorite of readers around the world:science fiction. He had no way of knowing that the futuristic technology he built into Nautilus, suchas scuba gear and the ability to create an underwater habitat where humans could comfortably live

surrounded by ocean creatures, would one day become reality. Up until his death in 1905, Verne hadonly one goal: to entertain readers everywhere with his fantastic travels.A Trip to Inner Space: Jules’ Undersea LodgeYou awake and sit up in bed. You feel uneasy. Someone or something is watching you. Then you seethem. Dozens of fish of every color and species are peering at you through your window. No, you’renot dreaming. You’ve just spent a night in Jules’ Undersea Lodge, the world’s first underwater hotel.It opened in 1986 in Key Largo, Florida.Today there are many underwater hotels. But travel experts still consider Jules’ Undersea Lodge tobe one of the top five in the world.BeginningsJules’ Undersea Lodge began as an undersea research lab off the coast of Puerto Rico. Scientist IanKoblick designed it in the 1970s. At that time, underwater travel and habitats were mainly of interestto scientists. But soon, people around the world took an interest in ecology. They wondered ifhumans could live in other environments, such as under the sea or on the moon.Koblick and another scientist, Dr. Neil Monney, had an idea. They wanted ordinary people toexperience the wonders of life in the ocean. So they moved the undersea research lab to the EmeraldLagoon in Key Largo. Together, they remodeled the lab into an underwater hotel. They named it“Jules’ Undersea Lodge” to honor French author Jules Verne. In 1863, his novel Twenty ThousandLeagues Under the Sea foretold the type of undersea living that today is possible for humans.Hotel on StiltsThere’s only one way to enter Jules’ Undersea Lodge. Guests must scuba dive to the entrance! It islocated twenty-one feet below the sea. That is about as deep as a two-story building. Hotel staffsupplies the diving gear and accompanies guests to the lodge, carrying their suitcases in waterproofbags.If you’re among those guests, you’ll line up on the lagoon floor beneath Jules’ Undersea Lodge. Itstands on five-foot stilts. Unlike walking into the Holiday Inn through a door, you will push up andenter through the “moon pool” entrance on the floor. The hotel is filled with compressed air, whichis heavier than water. Therefore, the sea will remain outside and will not flood the inner space youhave entered.Jules’ Undersea Lodge can only accommodate up to six people at a time. Near the entrance is a “wetroom” where you can shed your scuba gear and take a shower. Then you’re ready to go into one ofthe two bedrooms. Each has its own bathroom. Or perhaps you’d rather go first into the “commonroom.” There you’ll find a refrigerator and microwave oven. In another corner you can find atelevision and VCR/DVD player. The hotel staff provides snacks, or you can bring and cook yourown food. If you’d rather not cook, arrange with the hotel to have a pizza delivered. A scuba diverdelivery person brings it to you—in a waterproof box, of course!Although you can stay in the hotel and watch the fish watching you, there are other things to do aswell. Some of these are:

Developers around the world areplanning for even bigger underwater habitats. “To live beneath the sea was once just the dream ofscience fiction writers,” says Dr. Monney. “Now it is a reality. Here is a new step for mankind, theadvent of undersea living, the taming of the last frontier on Earth . . . Inner Space.”STEM:This task has more than one (1) part. Read each part carefully and respond.Part AHow does Jules’ Undersea Lodge reflect ideas that Verne wrote about in his novelTwenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea?

A1ExemplarPart AJules’ Undersea Lodge reflects some important ideas from the novel Twenty Thousand LeaguesUnder the Sea. In the novel, sailors are captured and taken onto a submarine, where they livedeep under the ocean and experience many forms of undersea life. In the hotel, guests alsoexperience life under the sea. The idea behind both (learning what it’s like to live under the sea)is the same.Part BGuest experiences in the hotel would be similar to the sailor’s experiences. They watch fish andother sea creatures swim past windows just like the sailors on the submarine in the novel did, andthey are unable to leave the environment without swimming through the ocean. They would relyon technology to provide them with air to breathe and to communicate with the world above theocean surface. There would be differences, too. Guests at the lodge are just that—guests. Theychoose to be there and can leave whenever they want to. The sailors were captives on thesubmarine and were not allowed to leave, so the way they felt about their experience wasprobably very different because of that.In Part A, the student thoroughly describes how Jules’ Undersea Lodge reflects ideas thatVerne wrote about in his novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and explains usingdetails from both articles (The idea behind both [learning what it’s like to live under the sea]is the same).

A31166561052Part AJules' Undersea Lodge reflects the ideas in Twenty Thousand Leagues Underthe sea because both the book and the lodge explain inhabitants under theocean. The evil captain from the Nautilus captured the scientist and two othercrew members. In his submarine he drove them down to the ocean floor tolife underwater("Jules Verne, Father of Science Fiction"). Now people can liveunder the sea. There is an underwater hotel in Emerald Lagoon that guestshave to scuba dive to in order to get there. In the hotel you can enjoy lifeunder the water("A Trip To Inner Space").Part BThe characters in Jules novel Twenty Leagues Below the Sea and the guests ofJules' Undersea Lodge both experience life underwater.
