Wells’s description of the time machine, time traveling, and the future are all very vivid, and somewhat cinematic. How does this novel compare to science fiction films that you have seen?

  2. Hello again friends. Well, It's very interesting for me to answer this question. As far as I have seen films that today the seventh art academy leads to the big screen they are based on the age of tecnology and communication that we are currently living to. So the science fiction images and animated effects highlight the importance of living in it and also it has sparked the creativity of many artists to play with their imagination to reach for create completely virtual worlds, where human being seems to be almost an object more of that the virtual reality.
    However, if it is true that the Well's mind seemed to draw this situation somewhat when he wrote the time machine, he does not stay in this stage of life (for saying it in this way) but also, in my point of view, it seems that the "evolution" of our race is a very important issue for him since he states much deeper issues of existence remain as currently in force in his time as ours time too.

  4. Well, I liked to read this novel from the beginning because this kind of plot novel is what I like to. Furthermore, this story draws a lot of issues which are discussed nowadays in the society. I refer to Well's questions that he wrote from chapter five. I must confess that even though I like to read everything that makes me enjoy and increases my knowledge, I cannot be separated from my dictionary to look for new words to me. I hope the next periodo with the new novel, this situation changes to.

  5. Hello!!!, well I think both, reading and movie have a mix of fiction and non-fiction, it depends on the mind of readers or spectators, of course the science fiction films are more shorts and are a summarize of a lot of ideas in which the main purpose could or could not be captured at the first view and maybe it is the reason why they need to create and adapt many effects to describe the way in which we imagine the story when we read the book, if you pay attention they are very similar but, in the novel you also can be a traveler of your imagination.

  7. The time traveler arrives after a very strange place with heaven rarefied, the fact that the environment seems to be contaminated, evrything is dark and very near to the sea, but here there are no waves. the story focuses a little when the day out and he glances a huge white butterfly making a terrible cry and then he is surrounded by huge crabs that try to catch him, he escapes and goes to his machine and continues to travel forward over 30,000,000 years beyond the life and the human species, far beyond the Eloi. here he finds that everything seemed lifeless, there was only lichens and liverworts, it was very cold and began an eclipse, everything went dark and observed something moving in the water. apparently was a round thing, the size of a soccer ball that had tentacles and that this was whimsically jumping around. Then the time traveler felt he was going to faint and then back on your machine until it can get back to his time.

  10. ESSAY
    "THE TIME MACHINE"

    Personally I think the film is totally different from the novel, the film based on the protagonist seeks to travel through time to retrieve his bride who suffers from an inevitable death again and again, after several attempts to save her, the last he decides to travel to the future to find answers that will allow to save her. While in the novel Dr. Alexander poses only a group of his theory of the fourth dimension and that it is possible to travel in time.

    In the film an incident in the future did him travel to the year 802,701 unconsciously, this is where the whole plot unfolds in the film, his search for answers go into the background and begins with the human-beast conflict.

    Importantly, the appearance is very different from human descendants (Eloi) in the film to the account in the novel, since in the novel such descendants (Eloi) are small creatures of 1.20 meters and the childish aspect film the Eloi are equally primitive and vulnerable but are beings more like ordinary human beings.
    The Morlocks (animals that feed from the Eloi) in both the novel and the film plays the same role. However, the novel tells a creature without intelligence, purely wild in the film while the Morlocks are purely hunters with great skills.

    One similarity would be the museum in ruins, the palace of green porcelain in the film agrees with the account in the novel, in a way to see the film first and then read the novel some images come to mind when the author narrates these spaces .
