Reaction on All the Time, from the Twilight Zone

                This episode from the Twilight episode is an interesting episode. It portrayed a story in which there is a man whose hobby is to read and read. In the story, people tell the main character that he is just wasting time reading books instead of doing something useful.

                Henry has a weird hobby of locking himself in the Bank’s vault during his lunch break to read books so that he will not be disturbed. And then there was this one day where he is reading a newspaper with an article about H-Bomb then something happened. There was an explosion, a very large one which shook the land and the fault making him unconscious. When he regained his consciousness, he came out only to find out that everything is a total mess and everyone around him died.

                During those times, he felt lonely and resorted to commit suicide but he suddenly saw a library of books that contains all of the books he wants to read and this made him contented. But as he made his way in getting a book and start reading, he tumbled and fell down and finds that his glasses was broken which enables him not to see.

                If I were to write an adaption story, I would choose Study Habits as a subject. In this case, I will write a story about a person who keeps procrastinating in his works even though the surrounding people tell him to do the work ahead of time. Because of the people around him telling what to do, he became irritated to them and sometimes departs himself with the other people. One afternoon, there is a party, and he invited his friends but because his friends was busy in studying, they can’t go and this made him lonely and resorts to not going to the party. But after thinking about the chicks and alcohols and stuffs that might happen to the party he decided to go despite him having a project to be due on the day after tomorrow. He said to himself that he still has one day to do the project so he went to the party. The next morning, he decided to do the project only to find out that there is a power shortage for the whole day.
