(a)It describes a time traveler to travel by
inventing a time machine to the year AD 802701. There are two kinds of people.
One kind of people called Eloi. (b)They are well-dressed, doing no work, and
pursue an easy life. And the other kind of strange white ape-like creatures
called Morlocks. This group of creatures lives underground. They are very
cruel. When they come out of the underground in the night, they begin to kill
and eat Eloi as their food. The time traveler helps Eloi and fights against
Morlocks. Morlocks hide his time machine
into a statue, but He finally gets it, and use the machine into the future. But
he makes some mistakes, and travels thirty million years into the future. He
finds the life is almost extinct at that time. (c) I really like one of the chapter that the
Eloi live in small communities, doing no work and eating strange fruits. The
natural landscape around tells that there is no active agriculture and
industry. It seems that the Eloi are incapable of doing physical labor. it is
so amazing, totally different life with today.
