Sydney Smith: Book Jacket discription

For my book jacket project, I read Around the World in 80 Days. It was good. Reading a graphic novel went better than I thought it would. I put together my book jacket using printer paper. I knew that I wanted a picture of a globe on my book jacket to represent going around the world. I found a picture of a globe that said the title on it so I used that. For the rest of my pictures, I tried to think of something that would follow the story line but the only thing I could think of was the different modes of transportation that the main characters of my story used. I printed out pictures of trains because when they traveled across Europe and America, they rode on a train. I used pictures of elephants because in Asia they traveled on elephants. I used pictures of ships because when traveling across oceans, the characters of my book took ships. I used pictures of horses because when the characters were traveling on a train in America, they got attacked by Native Americans and one of the main characters was kidnapped. The other characters rode on a horse to go and rescue him. I put a picture of a suite case on my book jacket to represent traveling. I summarized the author biographies that were in the book to tell about Jules Verne and Rod Espinosa on my book jacket. The book I read had a detailed description of both the original author and the person who adapted the story into graphic novel form. I wrote the summary like I would find on a real book jacket. I tried to summarize the story without giving away important details but still catch the interest of the reader.
