A Letter to Mr. H.G. Wells (I have questions...)

 Dear Mr. Herbert George Wells,

I am writing to you from the year 2023—still earlier compared to the future you imagined set in the year 802701 of your book, The Time Machine—but humanity has exponentially improved and revolutionized since the time of The Time Machine's publishing in 1895. It has been a wicked, wild, yet whimsically remarkable ride for humanity since then.

I have three important questions, each unique and probably mind-boggling for you, but I have faith in your great mind to wholly understand that these questions have come from a mind of a twenty year old girl from the year 2023 addressing to the Father of Science Fiction himself. This could be another plot for your next novel, Breaking the Fourth Wall: Questions From a Girl From 2023.

Question one, as an enthusiast and a significant figure in the field of science would you take the place of the Time Traveler in your novel, The Time Machine, and have your own go with the adventures of discovering what the future would really be like?

This one is oddly specific. I would love for you to listen to the band Pink Floyd's album called "The Wall" released in 1979. Later, go back and focus on all three parts of Another Brick in the Wall. 1979 has been a long time ago now that I am writing in 2023. Here is my second question Mr. Wells, do you believe that time will change the big issues that society has since been facing? From your time to the 1970s even until the 2020s, there has been significant change but has "time" really changed human nature and will it change human nature?

Last question, can love endure the test of time?

Thank you for your time, Mr. Wells! If I had a penny (with regard to inflation from the 1890s to the 21st century) for every time I stated the word "time", I would have about $546 or ₱29,669.64. Oh, if only money could truly make one happy... Anyway, being able to converse with you, Mr. Wells, made me as happy as a kid in a candy store. It was nice having this interesting chat with you!

Sincerely, Isabella Pollentes (the girl from 2023)

Physically Distanced, Critiquing an Essay About the Philippines During the Pandemic

             Francine Abueva’s overall essay entitled “The Effects of the Pandemic” revealed her positive yet slightly hesitant reaction to the Philippine government’s actions toward economic and health-related threats to the country. The essay resonated a lighthearted and sincere tone as I was gradually reading the author’s prompt reaction to the country’s lockdown in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The meaningfully constructed one-paragraph essay contained a few significant points by Abueva that truly expressed hope and understanding to the country’s status quo. For this assessment, I will critique Francine Abueva’s perception on the country’s struggle and its government’s actions in response to the struggle, and her reaction to such actions all in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic. I will also evaluate Francine Abueva’s construction of her essay, as well as recognize the creativity and uniqueness of her statements. Abueva opened her essay acknowledging the pandemic’s “de

Isabella's Journal

━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━ ✿ ━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━ Introduction to Literary Genres               Critiquing papers kick-started my awesome semester with creative nonfiction, and I absolutely appreciated this chance of talking about important real-life matters. I was not a master of format and structure, but I truly liked how timely issues were discussed in our essays. Critiquing somebody else’s essay, Francine Abueva’s to be exact, about the Pandemic in the Philippines gave me much insight about her own thoughts about the issue at hand. Her essay opened my mind to more information apart from my own about this topic. Thanks to her optimism, I felt optimistic about the future ahead. To conclude this reflective essay, I would like to say that reading somebody else’s thoughts about issues is actually refreshing. I would never think of certain things the same way as I did when I only regarded my own understandings of such topics. This world is all about brainstorming our ideas to create a better one
