📖 Grade 5 English : The Time Machine by H.G. Wells 🚀

This month in Grade 5 English, we’ve been reading The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Even though it was written way back in 1895, it still feels exciting and full of big ideas. The story took us to the distant future and made us think about how people and society might change over time.

We’ve also been learning about metaphors and similes. For example, Wells compares time to a stream and the future to a dark corridor. These literary devices help us understand complex ideas in a creative way.

Talking about these techniques has shown me how powerful writing can be. A metaphor or simile can help turn confusing thoughts into something clearer and more interesting.

As we keep reading, I’m learning not just about the story, but also how to think more deeply and write with purpose. The Time Machine isn’t just a science fiction book — it’s full of ideas that make us ask questions and imagine new possibilities.
