The Time Traveller by H G Wells. :: English Literature

The clipping Traveller by H G Wells.Time TravelFor my English Coursework Wide information Assignment I have read two S Fnovels. Even though they were written over 50 years asunder they besimilar in some appearances and different in others. Both the books werebased around measure operate. The first was the Time Traveller by H GWells. A scientist had discovered a way to strike through time andwhen he travels to the future he finds that civilisation has unordereddown. The other book I read was The Sound of thunder by shaft of lightBradbury, this was about a group of people who travelled endorse in timeto hunt and kill animals. I think that this shows how Bradburyperceives the way we determination the technology we have. It does not seem tobe for the benefit of all worldly concern estimable as a toy for those who canafford it. It could be used for so much more than hunting dinosaurs.Both authors by design make their characters two-dimensional. Thismay be because the storie s are about time travel and civilisationrather than the individuals in the narrative. When Wells wrote hisnovel at that place were no telephones or aeroplanes, technology was not soadvanced and the reading public would be sceptical about time travelHis characters are skipper men who will convince the reader thatWells ideas are possible quotation mark (the professional bit)It is strange that much of what Wells wrote has come true, even thoughpeople may have felt it was removed fetched over speed of light years ago. In 100years from now perhaps those far fetched stories of at once may cometrue. It could be that people like Wells and Bradbury had a realinsight into the future. Perhaps they saw the way civilisation was exhalation in their own time.Bradbury is more contemporary than Wells and his vision, though grotesque in its own way does not seem so far fetched to a late 20thCentury audience. Ray Bradbury generally just uses the characterssurname in the study. This keeps a more macho feel to the huntingactivities and there are no women. The characters described arehuntersQuote (opening advert)There are several men who have paid their money to travel back toJurassic times to hunt and kill the dinosaursQuote (rules)The tenor of the story remains masculine with the rules reinforced ina curt wayQuote (speaks to Eckles etc.)Bradburys short story focuses more on the effects of time travel thanWells. In Bradburys tale when the travellers go back to the pastEckles goes send off the suspended path and stands on a butterfly causing great changes when they travel back to their own time.
