t achievements, were all in ruins. No one seemed to care. It didn't matter what had been learned in the past. The Elois had become accustomed to being high class; doing nothing; and having the Morlocks do everything. But as time went by, the tables turned and the Elois became a sort of cattle for the Morlocks. The Elois just lived like children. They had short attention spans, didn't work, and got tired easily. It seemed almost like a paradise at first, but their lifestyle was not. They lived in fear of the Morlocks, who hunted and snatched the Eloi while they were sleeping. This novel was an interesting read. It was intriguing. I felt like I actually understood the futuristic world Wells had written about. One thing I didn't like was the thought of having a world like that someday. I was surprised by the lack of technology and intelligence in the future. The Time Traveller was alone in that respect. He had to figure everything out on his own. Although those characteristics like knowledge and productiveness were lost, among the Eloi, gratitude, tenderness, and love still lived on. Those meaningful qualities remained. Looking back on the experiences and thinking of Weena, a friend who had heard the Time Traveller's episode remarked, "To witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of man." Those qualities are things that should never die. report written by Coleen Judge...
