The Time Machine Book Review- Weeks 1 and 2

1. I chose the book "The time Machine" because it was recommended by one of my teachers for its fascinating plot and mood throughout the story and for the development of characters and beings, technology, and humanity and civilization. The book was published way back in 1896 and I thought it would be interesting to see what they thought lay ahead in the future in the times back then.

2. It is a good book that got me hooked in the first few chapters. It is about a man who spends many years of his life building a time machine, and it works. Most of the book, it seems, is about the time traveler's thoughts and reactions to what happened when he travelled into the future. The book is very interesting and is exciting to see what the future is like through the perspective of the time traveler. The book changes from exciting to suspenseful to curious as the story builds up.

In my most recent reading, the time traveler found flammable substances that he used as weapons against the Morlocks (species). He lights a forest on fire and repels the Morlocks, but his companion was so scared of the Morlocks that she passed out. The time traveler has not seen her since and assumes she is dead, but he needs to focus on getting away from the Morlocks. This is where I left off so far.
