Analysis Of The Book ' The Time Machine '

The story begins in Victorian Era England at a dinner party between professionals. H.G. Wells used this theme to match many other novels of the time. Unlike those other stories, H.G. Wells called the characters by their profession with the exception of the character named “Filby.” This most likely spawned from H.G. Wells’ tightly held socialistic beliefs. At the party, the Time Traveler spoke about time as the fourth dimension. At the time, the theory of dimensions was a popular theory among scientists, writers, and even theologians. After doing so, the Time Traveler presented a model of the time machine and turned it on. According to the novel, “the little machine suddenly swung round, became indistinct, was seen as a ghost for a second perhaps, as an eddy of faintly glittering brass and ivory; and it was gone—vanished!”. The guests at the party were in shock. Afterwards, the Time Traveler left to prepare the full size machine for use.

The Time in Between by David Bergen tries to show a different kind of cultural understand than is usually shown within the Vietnam war narrative. Bergen tries to highlight the cultural similarities instead of the cultural differences, where there is a sense of cultural appreciation. During the Vietnam war there has often been a stigmatization towards the Vietnamese that associates them as the enemy, they are seen as the opposing other. There is often an Eurocentric view of the Vietnam war that tells the story of the white male American solider and very rarely has another perspective been represented through media and literature. The attempt to acknowledge the war from the other perspective through the Vietnamese solider is used in The Time in Between. The trauma that is often associated with the Vietnam war is seen through the lens of the white male solider, often forgetting the the symptoms of trauma were experienced by both sides. The trauma from the war becomes a bridge between the two cultures and subverts the stereotypes of the Vietnamese as being the cultural “others”.

4. I believe the reader is hooked in a very precise and elaborate way, of basically explaining to the reader, that we ourselves are our own ticket in life or our own downfall.

It appealed to me and worked greatly to give me a better understanding on perception, and the way it impacts individual understanding of reality.

The Nathaniel Hawthorn story “The Birthmark” is a about a scientist who strives to fix the imperfections of human nature. Not only does he kill his wife during the process, his attempt to have any control over human nature dies as well. This story is ironic in the way Hawthorne uses his symbolism in his characters to portray. Judith Fetterley says, "The Birthmark demonstrates the consequences to women of being trapped in the laboratory of man 's mind, the object of unrelenting scrutiny, examination, and experimentation," (Fetterley 32). In Hawthorn’s story, all of the symbols in the story represent that despite man’s attempts, nature cannot be altered without a consequence.
