My mother identified strongly as French.  Thus, when my best friend's mother lent me Voyage to the Center of the Earth to read, she immediately took me to get the real version: the original French.  We look at the story of these adventurers and their naivety.  We also look at Proverbs, Chapter 2, and a speech to a son by a father, who is trying to teach the son about the importance of gaining wisdom and living the way God wants us to.  We see the hidden relationship, as detailed by my friend's mother, between Voyage au centre de la Terre and Proverbs.
