People could argue that being on land is better than being on the ocean. On earth most people know there is more water than land and that's water makes up 71% of water and 96.5% of the water is from the ocean. This could be the reason why people are intimidated by the water because it's big and has a bunch of different animals. This is their home, but it's not just there it's also a great man who once said that “the sea is nature's vast reserve” meaning how the sea gives him the freedom that he has found. That man is Captain Nemo from the book of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You may also have heard of him from many other books written by Jules Verne. He is described as a lonely man whose heart now belongs to the sea. He has lost his family …show more content…

If you read the book you can see how Captain Nemo. He changes from being cruel and mean to his guest until the very end when they are faced with a difficult challenge that could end up a victory or a failure. In the beginning you see Nemo as cruel and grumpy. He was upset about life and he only cares about the sea, his crew, and the nautiluss. Near the end of the story they are in a battle with a beast and they try to defend them off. The beast was too strong for the ship and Nemo and his 3 guest try to escape. They found a lifeboat but when they escaped and avoided death there was one man not on the boat. Captain Nemo stayed with the nautiluss. He was willing to die and told his commander “Sir," "I am nothing to you but Captain Nemo; and you and your companions are nothing to me but the passengers of the Nautilus.” (Nemo 352). It means that he was hired to guide them to the depths of the sea. That was one of Captain Nemo's last words and while the beast took down the nautiluss Captain Nemo went with his crew in the way he wanted to. He went over because his time was up. He has done all he needed to do in his life and now he can reunite with his family. You see how he loves his crew “For seven months we have been here on board, and I ask you today, in the name of my companions, and in my own, if your intention is to keep us here always?”Monsieur Aronnax, I will answer you today as I did seven months ago: Whoever enters the Nautilus must never leave it.” “You impose actual slavery on us!” “Give it what name you please.”(Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, p.
