In-class reading journal

Here is the quote I chose: "although they're (the flowers) brown and flat and brittle, they remind him that even in wretched times, concern, gratitude, love and devotion to others can still live on in the heart of man." My question for the writer is, does he show these when he needs to. "in wretched times." I also want to know how to grow in these so I can be the best person I can be.

I like how he wrote this book, made it interesting, and sent out a message. He ends the book very strongly with this quotation. I think the point of most books is to get messages out. The authors that communicate their message well are the better writers. I think that H.G Wells communicated his point great.

That is such a wonderful quotation - I have never read that book before, but if that's kind of the point of it, it makes me want to read it.

Is that from Time Machine?
