Answers
The story of 20,000 leagues under the sea is told by Professr Aronnax of how he was captured with his two friends under the sea by Marine Captain by the name Nemo.
Ned land was one of the people who were sent by the united states government in in expedition in the sea to search for and destroy a monster like being that was believed to be in the sea named Narwhal.
The being existed in secrecy in the free from any land based government.
Captain Nemo insists that he should retain them underwaters so that the secret of his existence is maintained. Aronnax and Conseil are thrilled but Ned Land only thinks of escape.They visited many places in the sea,some real and others fictional.After some time,Nemo began to be cold and unfriendly towards Aronnax,this made Aronnax to begin empathizing with Ned land.
Nautilus is then attacked by a ship from an unknown source that made Nemo to suffer,Due to his angry nature,he ignored Aronnax plea to have mercy on him. Nemo then sinks the Nautalus under the sea,making Conseil and lend terrified and depressed of the situation. Led then announced an escape plan,but Aronnax was first reluctant since he wanted to see Nemo for the first time but he realized that Nemo would not allow him to leave,so he adopted the escape plan.
Aronnrax then decides to openly ask Neds opinion about the whole sea monster thing.Ned tells him that theres no way an animal could hve pierced the side of a metal ship.Although Aronnax tries to convince him using 'statistics' and a scientific talk,Ned still remains skeptical.
Ned remains skeptical since he insists that no animal could have all that energy to have that enormous penetrating power in the ship.
