Almost all writing fits into one genre or another. This is something that can certainly be debated, and often is. Research the various types of fictional genres, and try to figure out what genre Journey to the Center of the Earth would fit into. Using credible sources, such as .edu, try to find examples or definitions of the genre you choose. After you have done that, look for at least five examples from the novel that fit into the category. The writing you will submit will include: • the definition or characteristics of the genre you think the novel fits in

• a list of five examples from the novel that support the idea that this novel fits into the genre you found

1. I know that Journey to the Center of the Earth is science fiction. Science fiction is fiction that focuses on the advancement of sciences and technology or the same in the past.

2. An example of science fiction is in the story itself is when they are so far down underground but still can breathe. Also, the mini underground village being underneath there as well as an ocean. I also do not think it is possible for them to ride up a volcano on the water with lava underneath for so long. I also believe that it is impossible for all of them to go that long without any water. And, finally, I do not think there can be giant mushrooms so far underground.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
