Name of static character: The Editor
21). In the begging and the end the Editor voices his concerns about how real time travel is during this time period and if it was even mathematically let alone scientifically possible to transport ones self. Once the Editor is finished listening to the Time Travelers story he proceeds to say “What a pity it is you’re not a writer of stories!” having not have changed his mind from the beginning of the book that the Time Travelers story is nothing but a story.
22). “The Editor raised objections. What was the time travelling? A man couldn’t cover himself with dust by rolling in a paradox, could he? And then, as the idea came home to him, he restored to a caricature. Hadn’t they any clothes-brushes

Amid the Time Travelers recent arrival it had not taken long for a problem to arise in an unfamiliar time period. While having spent his first day in exotic future admiring everything the future had to offer the he began to head back to the original location were he had first emerged from his time travel only to find his time machine was gone. For this reason the Time Traveler fell into deep panic and became very belligerent towards the Eloi in question for what they had done with his time machine only to find out a human spider like creature known as a Morlock had taken it from him.

26). “And now came a most unexpected thing. As I approached the pedestal of the Sphinx I found the bronze valves were open. They had slid down into the grooves. At that I stopped short before them, hesitating to enter. Within a small apartment, and on a raised place in the corner of this was the Time Machine” (Wells

A change I would have made to the setting would have been to keep the world more modern as it is today. I feel this would have been an interesting twist within the book to see how going 30 millions years into the future did not have much as a drastic change as the Time Traveler would have thought and it may have introduced a new theory that humanity has possibly hit the cap in how far ones brain can advance.
30). “The calm of evening was upon the world as I emerged from the great hall, and scene was lit by the warm glow of the setting sun. At first things were confusing. Everything was so entirely different from the world I had known even the flowers” (Wells 29).
Would you Recommend this book and why?
31). After having read The Time Machine by H.G. Wells I greatly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in fiction as well as time travel. This book goes into tremendous detail in depicting what life would be like in the year 802,701. Furthermore, the book leaves the leader in question on whether or not the main character had simply made the story of actually time traveling or if he had indeed traveled into the
It is my honor to nominate Edwin Mantos for the distinguished Chapter officer Award. While our chapter had setbacks in planning, implementing and following through on our original Honors in Action project, Edwin stepped up and took the lead. He worked diligently to implement a 3 series discussion on Addiction the Insidious disease. Edwin is an addict who has been clean for more than 10 years, and holds this topic in high regards. He wanted to bring awareness to the seriousness of drug addiction and provide and outlet for those suffering with this affliction. He set up meetings with counselors, professors, and administration to enlist professionals that could define addiction; inform on its effects on health and families, and provide students
but he also could not fall back into the pattern of 1976. As Kevin examines his home that he has not been in for five years he seems lost “He picked up the electric sharpener, examined it as though he did not know what it was, then seemed to remember” (Butler 194). Having to endure the harder times of the 1800’s Kevin seems to forget the way his old life works in 1976. Kevin also came back to 1976 as an angry person.
Winston Churchill, a British politician, once said, “If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.” Throughout Maus, Art Spiegelman examines the past and present, interlinking them closely to express his father’s battle with the past as he attempts to build a relationship with him in the future. In Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel of Maus, Spiegelman uses the graphic novel elements of graphic weight and figures, and the rhetorical strategy of diction to portray the theme that past experiences affect people’s behavior in the present and future. The darkness of the past overshadows anything one does in the present.
“Woman is shut up in a kitchen or in a boudoir, and astonishment is expressed that her horizon is limited. Her wings are clipped, and it is found deplorable that she cannot fly. Let but the future be opened to her, and she will no longer be compelled to linger in the present.”
Imagine being able to travel to any part of the world at any time you please. However, one wrong move and you’ll change the entire world in the future. In the short story, “A Sound of Thunder,” for any little action you take there will be a much worse consequence. Three examples that this book portrays this theme is creating a Time Machine, killing animals, and stepping of the path.
These type of characters do not change as much or even at all throughout the story. Also, these static characters are mostly never the main character and they can be viewed as either good or bad. The personality of the static character when they are introduced are the same personality they have when the story comes to an end. In addition, all of their actions in between the story stays true to their personality. An example of a static character would be the Joker because at the beginning of the movie, the Joker is look upon as a homicidal, psychotical maniac.

‘I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975, I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I‘ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last-twenty-six years.

It was not until the time traveller began to take advantage of his time in the new age where he loses the time machine and fears
Throughout The Time Machine, the Time Traveller is going to a time in the future. He encounters these two types of people who live totally different lives. The Time Traveler tries to explain his experience to his peers only for them to not believe him. The Time Traveler talks about all the things that are different in this new world, the future, and how he felt about them all. He is skipping through time, and experiencing time more quickly. The Time Traveler chose to go in the future and see what it would be like, instead of going into the past. I feel the reason is because of fear and possibly changing what once was. Even though he did travel to the future he still had fear even after telling himself he had nothing to fear. “I sat upon the edge of the well telling myself that, at any rate, there was nothing to fear, and that there I
The time traveller steps into the time machine, pulls the two levers and prays to see where the time machine will take him. The machine spins, the time goes by and when it lands, the door opens and the time traveler sees a whole new world. Upon arriving in the future, he sees many disturbing things. The world is dilapidated, the life forms are very odd and he is very uneasy with the changes that have become. The place had been covered with earthly green shrubs and little people. Very small in nature and size and very fragile. He has met the Eloi. They are very friendly people but very childish. He meets Weena and his heart takes
“Mr. Marshall shall be propelled back in time via this chamber, which has created a stationary and somewhat controllable time warp.”
In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, Mr. Dimmesdale's most evident dread is that the townspeople will get some answers concerning his transgression of infidelity with Hester Prynne. Mr. Dimmesdale fears that his spirit couldn't take the disgrace of such a revelation, as he is an imperative good figure in the public eye. Be that as it may, in not admitting his transgression to people in general, he endures the blame of his wrongdoing, an agony which is exacerbated by the torments of Roger Chillingworth. In spite of the fact that he reliably picks coerce over disgrace, Mr. Dimmesdale experiences a significantly more difficult experience than Hester, who persevered through people in general disgrace of the red letter.

In 1895 H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine was published and dealt with the issues that were prevalent during 1890s Britain, such as social inequality, which similarly affects society today. In this short story, Wells
