In my opinion, chapter 4 was rather boring. The book was talking about the Time Traveler and more of his interactions with these creatures. He noticed how the creatures weren't interested and amused for long and also came up theory that they are weak and lazy. He tried to tell them where he came from, where one of them caught on that he came from the thunderstorm (Which is true, because when he first came into this place, it was a wicked thunderstorm). After only a few seconds, the creatures were unimpressed. The Time Traveler noticed how civilization turned out to be perfect but had a toll on the inhabitants there and how everything worked, kind of like communism. One of the things in the novel that is a big question is why the creatures only eat fruit. Is it because that's all they can get? The Time Traveler said he only has the "half-truth" about what is going on and is soon to discover the real things that is going on behind all of this. I'm not really sure what to think of this chapter. Not the biggest fan of it, but it will be interesting to find out more about the creatures and what is happening with the civilization and the story behind it.

The Time Machine Chapter 3
Meagan S
Honestly, the best chapter so far. Now the book is being narrated by the Time Traveler and he heads into the future. As he's flying through time, he worries about colliding with something but he finally stops in the future as it was hailing. When it stops hailing he worries hes vulnerable to this things that could be out there that he does know. He notices a white statue which later he calls it a white sphinx. As hes trying to fix the time machine, he notices robed figures watching him and one approaches him. He noticed that they weren't looking for trouble and they were fragile creatures. He stopped feeling vulnerable because they were beautiful and frail and weren't trying to hurt him. I really like this chapter because it kinda shows what the turn out could be for mankind in the future. It could turn out bad or it could turn out good and later on in the book we'll see where it goes. So far everything seems to be okay but that could change quickly. What if he gets stuck in the future? What if these creatures turn against him and theres no way for him to leave?

The Time Machine Chapter 2
Meagan S
Like i said in my last post, if you had this huge invention, wouldn't you want to keep it to yourself? Everywhere he goes, to the past and to the future, the time traveler tells these people. Yes they're amazed with his work and what can come from this, but what if something happens? What if it isn't stable enough for people to use yet? Anyways, this book just keeps getting better and better. It still hasn't gotten to the best parts, which i hope come soon. In the second chapter he is using the time machine and going to these dinners in the past and telling these people what is going on. The people question why they can't see the time machine and he simply states that its too fast to see because its moving through time. It doesn't seem like too much is going on, just little things, but its setting up for something big and i'm excited.

The Time Machine Chapter 1
Meagan S.
Wouldn't it be cool to make a time machine the size of a clock? Honestly, you're crazy if you think differently. The Time Machine is a science fiction book by H.G Wells. I haven't gotten too far ahead, only the first couple chapters but I can tell this is going to be a good read. In the first chapter it mentions that one lever is to go into the future and the other lever is to go into the past. Which seems pretty cool. The story starts out which seems to be a world that still had gas lamps. When he goes back and forth in time, he tells people he is time traveling, and of course, people are making objections. Is it a good idea to tell everyone? Should he keep it a secret? One of the big things that the time traveler brings up is "we are always moving in time, so why not move faster?" and i believe that is what starts it all. That's what starts the story. It makes it suspenseful and wanting people to read more.
