Entry #3-Squire Trelawney
I don't think I'll ever want to leave this place. It has showers, refrigerators, televisions, and radios. Radios are just astounding! They make music. Miss Liatris says that the radio doesn't make the music, but I don't understand what she means by radio waves or electricity, which is another wonderful discovery.
I believe that radios are only as good as the music you make them play. Liatris tried to introduce us to new music, but I didn't like many of the things she made the radio play. I did, however, quite enjoy myself when she made it play classical music, the music of our time. She showed us pop, rock, jazz, country, and anything else she could. She even danced to this music. I've never seen anyone dance so freely before. She didn't turn properly, she didn't ever clap where I would expect her to, and she danced all over the kitchen.
Miss Liatris tried to show us how to dance the way she did, but since three out of the four of us are old and set in our ways, the only person who even came close was young Jim Hawkins. He wasn't very good at it either, at first. We all managed to get better at it though.
This other discovery called electricity is basically the backbone of Liatris' world. I asked her what would happen if everyone ran out of electricity, but she said she didn't think that would happen any time soon, if at all. She showed us the many ways to harness electricity, including hydroelectricity, electricity powered by wind, and a few others.
Her electricity powers her radio, her lights, her refrigerator, her television, but it doesn't power her shower. I still think it would be awful if the people in her time ran out of electricity because they probably wouldn't be able to live. She assured me that they would find a way. I was glad of that. I certainly wouldn't want to be out of electricity if I lived in her time.
