In 1863, German professor Otto Lidenbrock buys the manuscript of an old Icelandic saga. Inside it, he and his nephew, Axel, find a coded document in runes written by an Icelandic alchemist named Arne Saknussemm. Decoding it, they discover the runes are directions to the center of the earth. Saknussemm explains that he has successfully made this journey, which makes the professor believe it is possible.

Lidenbrock and Axel immediately head for Iceland, as they will have to descend through a Icelandic volcano to reach the earth's center. Their only window of opportunity for the journey is late June, which is almost upon them. Axel doesn't want to go, but Lidenbrock is unstoppable.

In Iceland, they hire a guide, Hans Bjelke, who is a duck hunter. The three travel successfully through the volcano and end up moving ever closer to the center of the earth, encountering many perils en route, such as dangerous flammable gas. At one point, they almost perish for lack of water, and Axel is also temporarily separated from the professor and Hans.

The center of the earth, however dangerous, is also a wondrous place. It is a huge cavern seemingly untouched by humans from the surface of the planet (except that they find the initials AS carved in a tree). This underground world is lit by gas, which is electrified. They encounter giant mushrooms that grow taller than they do and a huge ocean, upon which they travel on a raft. Since they are discovering that which was previously unknown, they get to name the geological features they see.

In this fantastic place, they discover evidence of species long gone extinct in the world above, such as dinosaurs and herds of mastodons. The explorers are jolted when they see what appears to be a twelve-foot human, though they cannot decide if it is more ape or more human. They don't want to be seen by this man-ape or disturb him, for fear of what he or his group might do.

Eventually, their path through to the center of the earth is blocked by a rock slide. They try to use dynamite to blast their way through, but this disturbance causes the nearby sea to rush through the hole they've created. The rushing water carries them up through a mountain, until they are ejected to the surface world. When they regain consciousness, they realize that they are, in fact, in Italy and that they have been ejected from Stromboli, a volcanic island near Sicily. When they return home, Lidenbrock is praised by his fellow academics and considered one of the greatest scientists to ever live.

Pl read these paragraphs from the excerpt. every great play teaches many lessons and touches nearly all social problems. but the great play does this by indirection. every beautiful thought is a teacher; every noble line speaks to the brain and heart. beauty, proportion, melody suggest moral beauty, proportion in conduct and melody in life. in a great play the relations of the various characters, their objects, the means adopted for their accomplishment, must suggest, and in a certain sense solve or throw light on many social problems, so that the drama teaches lessons, discusses social problems and gives intellectual pleasure. the stage should not be dogmatic; neither should its object be directly to enforce a moral. the great thing for the drama to do, and the great thing it has done, and is doing, is to cultivate the imagination. this is of the utmost importance. the civilization of man depends upon the development, not only of the intellect, but of the imagination. most crimes of violence are committed by people who are destitute of imagination. people without imagination make most of the cruel and infamous creeds. they were the persecutors and destroyers of their fellow-men. by cultivating the imagination, the stage becomes one of the greatest teachers. it produces the climate in which the better feelings grow; it is the home of the ideal. all beautiful things tend to the civilization of man. the great statues plead for proportion in life, the great symphonies suggest the melody of conduct, and the great plays cultivate the heart and brain. which statement describes how ingersoll uses a literary technique in his response? a-by using symbols, ingersoll explains the role of artistic expression, which engages readers. b- by using a metaphor, ingersoll explains how artistic thoughts address social issues, which clarifies his idea. c- by using allusion, ingersoll emphasizes the continued growth of artistic expression, which is relatable to readers. d- by using alliteration, ingersoll emphasizes the role drama plays in society, which evokes strong emotion.
