Argumentative Essay On The Time Machine

What does the word time mean? The definition of time is the continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and the future. People cannot see time but the effects happen to everyone and everything like humans, animals, and nature. In E.B. White’s essay “Once More to the Lake”, time has affected his beloved vacation spot from his childhood the lake, roads, and camp grounds have changed since 1904. Therefore, I disagree with White in “Once More to the Lake” that everything was as it always has been; the author changed, the camp changed, and the people are clear examples of changes.

This line in the book describes the final characteristic of mans’ attitude - fear. The Time Machine is saying that mankind, even when

The world is advancing so rapidly today, it seems that it will never stop growing in knowledge and complexity. In the novel “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells, The Time Traveler, as Wells calls him, travels hundreds of thousands of years into the future through time. He arrives at a world that, at first glimpse, is peaceful and clear of any worries. As The Time Traveler explores the world, he discovers that the human race has evolved into 2 distinct forms. Although the world appeared to be the Garden of Eden, it was, in reality, the Garden of Evil. Wells uses three aspects of the futuristic world to illustrate this: the setting, the Eloi, and the Murlocks.

As these adolescent tweens attend a seminar regarding their adoptions, they are taken into a modified cave. Though this cave may look ordinary, it is just the opposite. Due to numerous reasons, this important setting would not be considered “ideal”. Some may argue that this “time-traveling” cave is a sight worth seeing due to its amazing features, but with a door that leads into a black, empty pit, the majority think otherwise. Some would not even consider visiting this cave due to its life-threatening elements. Margaret Peterson Haddix wrote, “As soon as there was a crack between the door and the wall, Jonah darted toward it, peeking out. He peeked out and saw… Nothing,” (Haddix 256). Additionally, this quote states that at any moment, someone could fall into that pit of nothing and vanish from their life, forever. Thus, this cave that is able to gorgonize time would surely not be considered as a suitable environment for a group

In 1976, Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in response to a growing national concern about public exposure to toxic chemicals. Since then, it has largely been hailed as a failure for two reasons. First, TSCA has been unable to effectively compel producers to test and disclose adequate information on chemical toxicity. Second, it has been ineffective at designating sufficient resources to the EPA to identify and reduce the possible health and environmental risks associated with new chemicals. Nonetheless, it has been devoid of major revisions since its implementation. In the nearly 40 years of congressional inaction on this issue, many states have intervened by enacting stricter chemical laws that fill in TSCA’s gaps.

There are many high schools that elementary eighth-grade students apply to, and hope that they get accepted to one of the high schools that they applied to. However, I have chosen Taft as my high school. Taft high school is “located in the Norwood Park neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago, Illinois” (en.wikipedia.org) , I have been a student at Taft high school for three years (I’m a Junior) but I still have one year to go before I graduate from Taft high school. Furthermore, in the Taft high school website it states that “Taft High School is an authorized IB World School. International Baccalaureate World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improving the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering a challenging and high-quality program of international education” (www.tafths.org). Taft high school has proven it’s an IB school and a wall-to-wall International Baccalaureate high school. Since the past three years, Mark Grishaber the principal of Taft high

In E.B. White’s essays, “Once More to the Lake “and ‘The Ring of Time”, the author demonstrates two different interpretations of time and how it is used to symbolize meaning to each piece. “Once More to the Lake” is an essay that is derived mostly from White’s personal experience while “The Ring of Time” is mostly examining a teenage girl performing at the circus, in the eyes of someone else. Both of these articles give the reader insight of how the author uses the theme of time to show different aspects to the storyline. In White’s essays, he uses strategies that reflect on the past and foresee the future, use other individuals as vehicles to access an alternative temporality and demonstrate his own perceptions and visions in

The Time Machine is a fictional story about a time Traveler’s journey into the far future and the trouble he faces to get back to the present time. On his journeys, he have to face the descendants of the mankind which are the Morlocks and Eloi. In the beginning of the story the Time Traveller thought the Eloi were the Morlocks slave master or a leader. Later in the story the time Traveler find out that the Morlocks lean to the Eloi and they obey the Morlocks obey the Eloi.

The Time Traveller encounters two races of regressed human beings the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are frail creatures, no taller than four feet. They pass their time frolicking in the fields. They do not seem to be interested in the continuous pursuit of intellectual advance or technological progress which would assuredly make their lives much easier. Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks are subterranean creatures. They are carnivorous, cannot tolerate the daylight and they feed upon the helpless Eloi at night, whom they breed like cattle. These two races seem to be manifestations of human characteristics that would only be harmful. The Eloi represent those who live off of human emotion and activity, and are plagued by premature decrepitness and degeneration. They survive off the hard work of others. The Morlocks represent an industrialized society in a negative fashion. They are slovenly, unaesthetic and lack a sense of beauty needed to appreciate life. Wells’s believes that these traits would lead to a degeneration of society.

A “time being” is someone who is placed in a certain place, or duration of the universe. According to Zen Buddhist teacher Dogen Zenji, he expounds that “if you understand time as only passing, then you do not understand the time being” (p. 259). This quote explains that an individual, who grasps times as simply something that’s passing, does not understand that everyone is linked together homogenously in more ways than one. In addition, a “time being” is someone who is linked with time, and with their surroundings in a fixed locus. In the novel, the author Ruth Ozeki gazes at the landscape from her home, and says

In both stories, “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells and “Super-Toys Last All Summer Long” by Brian Aldiss are fictional in which main character(s) develop in such a way which raises a social/political issues in the view of authors. Both stories are taking places in the settings where future seems like the beginning of the political conflict. The character from the both stories, “The time traveler” and “Henry Swinton” are very anxious about future and what will their inventions do in future to ease the human life. At the beginning of the fictional, they both seem to be confident about their inventions doing wonders to comfort the human social life and its positive affect on it. However as story develops, this assumptions of theirs is questionable

Time travel has been debated for years by philosophers and non-philosophers alike. While the possibility of time travel is intriguing and alluring, I do not believe its portrayal in today’s media is plausible. In this paper, I will argue that time travel, particularly back in time, is not possible in our current world and universe.

For many years, the well-known novelist, H.G. Wells has captivated the minds and imaginations of readers with his multiple best-selling books; The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of the Worlds. These selections however are not Wells’ most controversial novel. The Time Machine, written in 1895, is Wells’ most talked about work. Multiple different themes and various sides are seen to be taken within this novel, one of these main themes being the separation of classes. While the Morlock’s and the Eloi, in H.G. Wells’ novel; The Time Machine, play an extremely important role in distinguishing the future for this book, one has reason to believe that there is a broader underlying meaning for these two types of
