There lived a man named H.G.Wells. He made many amazing novels but his famous novel of all was The Time Machine. With his pen and his imagination, he wrote the novel about himself travelling through time into the future to find out that the human race had devided itself into two different people(the Eloi and the Morlocks). Many years later after H.G.Wells died, a movie director named George Pal read The Time Machine novel and turned it into a movie in 1960 with actor Rod Taylor as H.G.Wells but in the film, they had to call Rod's character by his middle name George. When the movie was made, it won an award for best special effects of George's travels through time and the decaying of a dead Morlock which decayed into a skeleton in a matter of seconds. Many years later after the movie was made, the time machine itself also had a journey of it's own. But parts of the machine were worn out and the bars were bent. So, it was repaired but one part of the machine remained the same and that was the dish. The machine was used in a Halloween Show which had two sets which were the laboratory and the Morlock underworld. The characters in the show were the time traveller and the Morlocks. After the show, pictures were taken with Goerge Pal inside the machine with the Morlocks and the crew of the Halloween Show. Through the years after George Pal died, The Time Machine was also used in other films like GREMLINS for example. In the year 2001, a great grandson of H.G.Wells named Simon Wells made the remake of The Time Machine which became No.1 in the US Top Ten. If H.G.Wells didn't write the novel, the movies would have never been made. Up there in heaven, H.G.Wells and George Pal are probably now smiling above Simon Wells' head for making a great remake of The Time Machine. But if you build a time machine for one reason to save the life of someone you know who died in the past, there would be no reason for the times machines existence. What I learned from The Time Machine is that it doesn't matter how much you want to create a time machine to travel through time but to make the best of the time your in.
Thank you for time.
