                        The Time Machine 
                                             By: H. G. Wells

Writing Prompt:

• Explain what kind of reader would like this book most.

• Explain why somebody should or should not read this?

• How would you explain the plot of this story to somebody interested in reading

it? 

               What kind of reader that will enjoy this book the most would probably be a patient reader. I say this because in the beginning of what I've read it didn't become that interesting. Although, this book requires people to think which many people might enjoy, I enjoy that myself. For instance in the book it has many things I didn't even know what they were talking about. Therefore, I looked everything up I had questions about and it all made sense on how the time machine might work. If you are into those kind of requirements to understand this book than this book is a great selection for those readers. 

               The reason why people should read this book is because how intriguing this book is. For instance this isn't really likely to actually happen. I don't think we will actually have to fight off a whole bunch of creatures who live underground to get our time machine but that is why it is interesting. If they didn't end up loosing their time machine there wouldn't be a plot in this book. That is why it is interesting because of the whole plot of them losing the time machine and and having to take it back from evil creatures from the future. 

               I think the plot is clever but also predictable in a novel like this. Usually in books that are in the future or taken back in time the characters ended up losing something important and end up taking it back. However, if it wasn't for the plot I may not have enjoyed this book as much as I did. I am into unique plots but kind of original to keep the value of reading involved. Anyways, that is basically the plot. A bunch of evil creatures that live underground are surrounding the time machine. Then the characters in the book have to get it back to get back to their regular time period.

                        The Time Machine 
                                             By: H. G. Wells

Writing Prompt:

• Evaluate whether the title fits the story.

• Evaluate the quality of the writing.

• Evaluate whether the main character would be worthy of your friendship.

           The title of the book does fit the story because the title is " The Time Machine" and that is basically what the whole book is about. In my opinion that is the best title for this book because that can draw the readers towards the book. That is kind of what happened to me but I also read the back cover. Even though this book is mainly about the time machine it is also about the characters in the book and that doesn't necessarily fit the title. I feel like they could've made a more original idea then something so simple as " The Time Machine". They should change the title but that is nothing other than my opinion. Anyways it is a okay title for a great book. The title shouldn't even matter though never judge a book by it's cover.

           The quality of the writing is great. It uses a lot of substitution words which I enjoy. Instead of saying a full sentence it uses one word to explain it all. That is a terrific quality in my eyes. Also a good quality in the writing is that it doesn't rush to the point. All of the writing builds up to the plot of the book which keeps the readers interest alive. If that wasn't included I don't think I would've wanted to continue my reading. I enjoy the suspense of a book. That is another terrific quality that is included in the book. 

           The main character of this book would be worthy of my friendship because he has the qualities I like in a friend. The qualities that he has is that he is smart, clever, an inventor and wants to see what the future is like. I am into all of those qualities he has. For example I love to create things and I always wanted to see when technology advances or if it crashes in the future. I say the smart and cleverness from The Time Traveler are a good quality also so you can trust them and be able to help you with a homework assignment you don't understand. The Time Traveler is worthy of my friendship but the real question is if I'm worthy of his friendship.
