Billy is able to do it better than the rest of us because he has a vivid imagination (like most mental patients). Also, it is very common for people to remember the smell of a place when recalling a certain memory. The amount of “detail and figurative language” that describes Billy’s time-travelling is the narrator speaking and not Billy himself. It is very clear in the book that when Billy is placed in a mental institution, the author is trying to tell the reader that Billy is indeed mentally unstable. When it comes to Hansain first post, I must say that I have to disagree with it. I want to be able to discover it on my own. I like the surprises that life brings me and I would not like to find out my future. Also,what would Hasnain say to his young elf when he travels back in time? One thing is for sure though I would not like to travel forward in time. I would like to pose the same question to Hasnain, if he had a chance to travel back in time to any moment of his life, where would he go? Every person in the world has a favourite childhood memory. Whether it be having a good laugh in Massey cafeteria with my friends or celebrating my 5 th birthday. I, on the other, hand would choose to travel to happy moments in my life.
Whatever case, I think a lot of people would simply return back in time to attain wealth, fame or power. Others would return to pivotal moments in history such as the American Revolutionary War to become famous commanders or generals, while some would take today’s scientific knowledge and travel back in time with it to establish themselves as one of the greatest thinkers in human history. I think a lot of people, Hasnain included, would return to times of economic recession or depression in order to play the stock market and become wealthy. I really enjoyed Hasnain’s post about where he would time travel if he had the ability to.
