English: The Time Machine Chapter 10
Learning Objectives:
SWBAT
Cite Textual Evidence Analyze what text says explicitly Draw inferences from text Analyze the references that H.G. Wells made throughout his book and how they help to communicate his thoughts and ideas Identify and demonstrate mastery of the literary device, Allusion.
Essential Questions:
What is an allusion? How often do you spot them, whether in your reading, in pop culture, in advertising or anywhere else? How can using allusion in text help a reader understand a concept better?
Enduring Understanding:
An allusion is a reference to an historical or literary event or person. Allusions are used in all forms of literature and paintings, in newspaper headlines, advertisements, song lyrics, and political speeches. We use allusions because a one or two word allusion can
often take the place of a much longer explanation.
Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

Utopias (5.18), which were a pretty popular trend in the late 19th century. Two important Utopian works that Wells is probably thinking about are (American) Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888), where a Bostonian wakes up in AD 2000 and finds that every class issue has been resolved; and (British) William Morris's News from Nowhere (1890), where the future is better because work has become fun. At 5.40, the Time Traveller complains that he doesn't have a "cicerone," which is a fancy word for guide, because in these Utopian works, the stranger is usually led around by a native who explains everything very clearly.
