Entry 4: Time

In the Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket, Jack Finney makes time seem slower by adding all the feelings and all the details of Tom. He will write about what he thought and saw in details and in may many sentences that it will feel like the time has passed by slowly. Time pass by really slow when someone is nervous or the event is really boring. In this case, Tom is undergoing a nerve racking event, so he felt that the time has passed by really slowly, but really, it is not. I believe that this kind of thing happen to real life too. When you are nervous and focus on something, time will usually pass by really slowly. And also if you are undergoing an event that you don't like to do and you want the time to pass really quickly, the time will usually pass by really slowly too. Time seems to speed up when you are doing something you like to do while time pass by slowly when you are doing something you don't like to do. In my life, the time seems to slow down or speed up a lot. Time slows down when I am in class or tutor. While time speeds up with I am hanging out with my friends or when I am on a vacation. Sleeping hours also seem to speed up way too fast.
