The Time Machine
Over the summer I read a book called “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells. It told a story about a time traveler who went into the future and to his surprise found a group of creatures called Morlocks and Eloi. The Morlocks take the “time travelers” time machine thus beginning a series of events that take place until he finds it again.
The narrator and main character in this book is referred to as “The Time Traveller”. He created the time machine and used it to travel through the Fourth Dimension into the year 807,701. The novel is mostly a description of his expedition. He can basically be described as very wise, sharp, but very lost and unsure of himself at times. While reading this novel you can automatically tell the “time traveller” is intelligent and outgoing for just inventing such a machine that allows you to travel to the past and future. To me I believe this character was missing fear, every human being fears something in life, its what makes us human. The “time traveller” had none what so ever. My biggest question was “why did he build the time machine, was he looking for something”?? That question was never answered so I guess well never know the point of the “time travellers” whole journey. When traveling though time “the time traveler ” wasnt aware how much the world was actually changing and how hard of a time he was going to have adjusting to it when he stopped, he wasnt aware of the events that were taking place or the people that made a impact on the world and how the earth got to where was in the end when it had 2 civilizations. The narrator could be being subjective, but I highly doubt it. If I went almost 80,000 years into the past I would give every single detail to my friends about what happened when I got back to change the fate of mankind. He never made himself sound
