Class 1/22

So we have now had our first true class. Overall I would say that everybody seemed to have a fairly consistent view on The Time Machine, ie we do not want to wind up like the Eloi and the Morlocks. Aside from that I still think that we never really had a complete answer to the question PTJ posed as to why we are not as afraid of the world of the future presented here as the readers apparently were in 1895.

As far as our view on The Garrison State again I feel like we have agreed on a working understanding of why we can relate to this more than The Time Machine but to me it felt as if there was still a bit of questioning in the air at the end.

Regardless we managed to both declare Wells a genius of the time and call his character the time traveler a child simultaneously.

Good j0b team on being the only blogging group to have selected wikipages and remember, we will all be purple crabs one day.

Anybody hungry, how about a big Georgetown Burger?
