Think and share
2.What do you think the “creature” is Find evidence from the extract.
The creature is probably a submarine because it is made
of steel and it has people inside. The professor found out
that it was “smooth, polished”, “produced a sound of
metal” and “made of metal plates”.

3.What social class do you think the professor and Conseil belong to Underline the expressions that indicate their social status.
The professor and Conseil probably belong to different social classes.
Conseil might be the servant of the professor because of the following
reasons: (1) he never called the professor his title or his name, but called
him master, (2) he talked to the professor in a very polite and humble way,
e.g. “If master would be so good as to hold onto my shoulder”, (3) he tried
his best to serve the professor even with his life.

4.What kind of person is Conseil Find evidence from the extract to support your judgement.
Conseil seems to be a kind and loyal person because Conseil swears he will drown before he leaves the professor.
