Characters

Wells typically portrays his characters as very intelligent in his novels. This is a key part in his writing. The characters usually have a lot of depth and are very complex. They typically face extreme situations and typically their morals and beliefs are challenged.

Speaker

Wells typically makes the speaker who really draw readers into the story. Having a narrator allows the readers to explore different viewpoints. They are typically very insightful and make the story very interesting. They unfold  the events in a smooth way that makes the story more interesting. 

Tone

Wells often uses a scientific tone in most of his writing. He does this in order to develop his plot in his futuristic novel types. This scientific tone opens readers into a world of curiosity and wonder. One example of this writing style is in the time machine when Wells wrote, “The strange machinery, spinning wheels, and intricate dials fascinated me as I delved into the mysteries of temporal manipulation.”

Writing

In the damp dark basement in the mansion, of famous scientist, Ethan Scrogador was working tirelessly to complete his goal. The teleporter was almost complete. Brilliant yet challenged Scrogador had one goal. He wanted to be able to travel the world at his wish by the click of a button. Whether it be a beach in Brazil or a lab in Germany, he wanted it all. Scrogador was determined and he knew he could do it. He just had one more wire to connect before it was done. This would forever change his life. He takes a minute before he connects them to reflect before his life changes forever. 3,2,1 Boom! The teleporter has officially been created. Scrogador can’t wait to try it. Not even a minute later he pushes the button to teleport him to his first place. When he pushes the button he ends up in the streets of China. Scrogador can’t even believe it worked. He thinks to himself, “I can do so much! Nobody knows me here!” He thinks about what the first thing he should do in this new place. He decides first to go get food. He goes to the nearest restaurant and sits down. He then realizes that he doesn't know how to read or speak Chinese. He just sits there and stares at the menu with no idea what to do. “I guess I’ll just stay hungry.” He thinks to himself as he gets up to leave. Then he decides he wants to go see the Great Wall of China. The only problem is he has no idea how to get there. He tries to ask people walking around, but they can’t understand him. Scrogador is beginning to feel very lonely in this unknown place he has never been. He can’t understand anyone and doesn’t know where he is supposed to go. 

He’s starting to realize that he wants to go home. But, there's one problem. He didn’t think about a way to get home. The teleporter was left in the damp dark basement in the mansion. He is stuck. 

Explanation

Characters

I decided to have my character, Ethan Scrogador, create the teleporter. This displayed his intelligence. I showed his challenges that he went through, just like Wells does in his novels. I showed him forgetting his teleporter to show the extreme challenge he was about to encounter. This is something that Wells will typically do in his novels. He does this to create a way to develop the hardship the character will face.

Speaker

I decided to write the story as a narrative perspective. This is something that Wells typically does in his novels. Doing this as I was writing I was able to write the story from an outside perspective while also showing what Scrogador was going through. This gives readers many perspectives to see throughout the story. On one hand you can see inside Scogador’s mind and on the other you can be a everyday civilian.

Tone

I decided to have Scrogador create the teleporter to give a scientific tone. The teleporter is something that has not been created yet which gives off the futuristic feeling. This opens readers up to new ideas and thoughts about what the world could one day be. This aspect helps challenge readers to open their imagination to go on the journey of the story.
