I am Pierre Aronnax.


I am a man of science
I wonder about the nature of the world
I hear the waves sloshing against the ship
I see the endless expanse of water in front of me
I want to solve the mystery of the ship sinking creature
I am a man o science


I pretend nothing
I feel the swaying of the ship beneath my feet
I touch the coarse splintered rails of the ship
I worry for the safety of this ship
I cry for nothing
I am a man of science


I understand a small fraction of the knowledge in this world
I say what is fact
I dream to discover the mysteries of the world
I try to understand this world
I hope to contribute to the world
I am a man of science
