The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt- Humanities Classes
Literature, at its best, goes beyond ordinary story-telling. It may grapple with small or big issues, but good literature should always provide enlightenment and insight. The title of the book stems from a discussion Tesla has with his favorite pigeon (?) about his newest invention, a small box. "A possibility machine that does every last thing you would ever conceive of if time were not finite…. The invention of everything else…" (p. 153). Why do you think the author chose this title for her book? Were you surprised to learn, or did you already know, that "Tesla" was the name of a Superman villain? What are your first reactions? What did you like most about the story and/or the book? Also what question(s) do you have about the book? Students should try their best to elaborate their answers. Write a minimum of 250 words discussing the author’s unique perspective on hope and imagining life’s possibilities.

The invention of everything else is a machine that would do everything if time never ran out. I believe that Samantha Hunt chose this phrase, The invention of everything else, as the title of her book because it captures the essence of the story.
I was incredibly surprised to learn that “Tesla” was the name of a superman villain. In accordance with the book, Tesla was a scientist that everyone believed to be crazy. Nevertheless, I believe that making him the “evil scientist with a quest to destroy America,” is taking it to the extreme. By making Tesla a social outcast, it made the plot more interesting and the book as a whole more inspiring.
In the beginning of the story, my first reaction was confusion, seeing as there were many different stories being told at the same time. However as all the plots united, the mysteries began to unravel, resulting in a pleasurable experience as well as a historical journey through all that once was.
When reading this story, I always had one question in mind; why did the author chose pigeons as Tesla’s love? As I reached the end of the story, I understood her message. The simple answer, pigeons are easier to love than humans.
My favorite part of the story was when Walter, Louisa, and Arthur went to visit Azor to try out the time machine for the first time. It was my favorite part because it was filled with hope and trust; they believed that the machine would transport them to another time. Though it did not work, Walter and Azor still had a good time, not to mention a memorable experience. We can see this because in the text it states “‘Hi,’ she answers. ‘Dad. What happened? Where did you go? Did it work?’ Again both Walter and Azor begin to laugh uncontrollably, and Arthur decides to join Louisa. ‘Nope!’ Walter yells ecstatically. ‘Not today, honey.’ The laughing starts up again.” It is my favorite part because I realized that sometimes in life things do not turn out they way you would like, but as long as you can relax and have a good time, your original plans can be put to the side.
The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt introduces aspects of hope, desire, curiosity, and the power of imagination. The main character, Nikola Tesla, was a man whose brilliance competed with his lack of social skills. He guarded his heart and allowed no one, save a few people, to get close to him. Pigeons were the only creatures he felt could ever love him. Although Nikola Tesla was fantastically brilliant and inventive, he was misunderstood and often criticized for being a mad scientist.
The author, Samantha Hunt, masterfully describes Nikola Tesla’s struggles with society and his fear of getting too involved with people. The title of the book, The Invention of Everything Else, is a profound and intriguing title that leaves one pondering its meaning. The sentence, ‘the invention of everything else’ makes a person curious. I, for example, spent so much time wondering what the title could mean that when I started reading the book I wanted to finish it quickly in hopes that the ending could shed some light on the confusing title. It seemed that Hunt used the title to make people want to know more. Hunt may not have wanted the title to literally mean that everything was going to be invented right at that moment, but perhaps it refers to all the inventions that will come into existence because of Nikola Tesla.
Although Tesla was smart and a great inventor, towards the end of his life he was critiqued and cast aside. When I learned that Tesla was the name of a Superman villain, I became indignant. Whoever bestowed that villain with the name of such an amazing man must be either a fool or has his or her facts mixed up. Tesla did act differently than other people, but he was in no way a villain, much less a mad scientist. This proves that society has no capacity for understanding or accepting different people and their ways.
I really enjoyed the interactions between characters in this book. The characters, such as Louisa and Arthur Vaughn, are so real. They are not like the fantasy or mystery book characters, whose attitudes, appearances, and actions are unrealistically perfect. Unlike many books, the characters seemed to be the core of The Invention of Everything Else. Here is the story of a frail, misunderstood man while over here is the tale of a curious maid whose life is very simple. The combinations of these different stories are what bring the book to life. Hunt turns the most seemingly normal characters, into people who love, cry, wonder, and believe.
After reading this book I have many questions. Why did Walter have to die? Would everything have been fine if Azor had stayed out of Walter and Louisa’s life? How did Nikola Tesla survive being so alone? All these questions made me realize that life is too short to waste. Even though Tesla was a remarkable inventor, he let life pass him by. He never stopped and appreciated the people around him nor did he ever marvel at the beauty of humanity. He only saw the wickedness and chaos of human kind. This book has inspired me to be more curious while encouraging me to enjoy life and not let it be wasted.

The Invention of Everything Else by Samantha Hunt is a compelling story about an immigrant named Nikola Tesla and his life. I think the author chose this title to represent Tesla’s quest for new answers. Tesla was a mysterious man that was only looking for answers to the world. When I first started reading the book, I wondered what the title was trying to explain and how it would be incorporated into the story. I was very surprised to find that Tesla was the name of a villain. This posed the question: Why would someone base a villain off of an important inventor? Is this where the author got the inspiration to make Tesla seem “evil” in the story? At first, the book was hard for me to understand since there were many different perspectives in the story. I loved this aspect. I enjoy books that include several character perspectives. My favorite part was when Louisa was looking through Tesla’s belongings and was caught. This part really scared me because I thought that he would be angry or would yell at her, but he really was a pleasant person. I loved that the author incorporated fact and fiction into one story. The story began to unravel as I read. This made me want to continue to read until I got all the answers to my questions. Reading this book helped me to better understand the title and what it represented. This story made me want to learn more about Nikola Tesla and the aspects of invention, life, loss and the spirit of inquiry.
The book , by Samantha Hunt, tells the story of a girl named Louisa who stumbles upon a strange man that was living inside a forbidden room at the Hotel New Yorker. At first sight, she was determined to become friends with the strange man. Unknowingly to Louisa, the man was actually Nikola Telsa. He was the inventor of AC electricity and wireless communication. As the story is told, Louisa learns more about Nikola’s past and what he dreamed of as a child and even as a man. The story goes deeper when Louisa loses her father and Telsa tries to travel to the past in order to meet his beloved wife.
The book was very interesting. It made we take a look at love, and the power of invention in a totally different perspective. Before, I never really tried to figure out why certain inventions were made of even why they were made. But after reading this book, I really look at invention in a different way. That’s a reason why I liked this book. The book also it was a very interesting story of friendship between Telsa and Louisa. But a question I have about the book is,” Why did you chose to write about this topic for a book? Is there a particular reason?”
I think you titled the book that name in order to get people who read it to think about how everything in the world was invented. In the book, it talks about more than inventions. It talks about love, death, and friendship and how invention helps this theme. For example, when Telsa attempts to try to go back in time, he is doing it for the love of his wife.
The “Invention of Everything Else” was an intriguing and thought provoking story. I thoroughly enjoyed. In this book, Samantha Hunt, the author creates an imaginary story based on the life of a brilliant 20th century scientist, Nikola Tesla. Tesla, creator of Alternating Current (AC), lived out his days in an NYC hotel. He describes his sickly childhood and memories of living in the Serbian town of Similjan. Louisa, a curious girl who worked at the hotel, befriends the eccentric scientist through their shared love of pigeons and their curiosity of the world of science. This is the story of their shared friendship and the life of a great scientist who changed the world with his dreams.
I liked this book because it had an interesting theme: The idea that life has endless possibilities and that one should live life to the fullest, never giving up. For example, Tesla used his Alternating Current to power thousands of homes and companies. This invention should have made him very rich, had the patent not been stolen from him. Tesla was robbed of his ideas, his invention, and his work, but he still kept inventing. Tesla clearly showed that, even though life can be unfair, there is still a possibility to achieve greatness. Today, many people regard him as one of the greatest scientists who ever lived. However, back in his era he was considered strange. Many people believed he had come from the future or outer space and that the technology he created was otherworldly. Like many others living in that time, he was a foreigner, subject to the ethnocentrism that was at the core of American culture. Even though Tesla was ridiculed, he fought to achieve greatness, despite the odds. This kind of determination inspired many people, including me. I am inspired to think more about how I can persevere in the face of difficulty.
The title “The Invention of Everything Else” is difficult to decipher. However, I believe that the author chose it because Nikola Tesla was never a man who truly loved. During the story, Nikola Tesla tells a story about Robert and Katherine (friends of his), and how he was in “love” with Katherine, the wife of his best friend. Tesla chose not to act on his love for Katherine because he knew that love would disappoint him. In the last few chapters of the book, Tesla learns that his favorite pigeon, whom he refers to as “darling,” is dying. He then begins to feel the pain of loss and grieving, something he has never felt before. Love is the invention of everything else. You love because you care and you care because something or someone has meaning to you, and when you lose that thing or person, it hurts.
My favorite part of this book is when Tesla is working at the house of his friend, Robert. He is working on an invention that allows him to create pleasure in human beings through electricity. In this part of the book, he tries out his new invention on Katherine, who is unsure about whether it is safe. But when the electricity flows from the cotton tipped wires of Tesla’s invention, she changes her mind about the invention. This is my favorite part because Katherine and Robert were supporters of this great scientist, and understood that Tesla was a man of dreams.
This incredible tale taught me that living life to the fullest is something everyone should strive to do. I also learned not to assume carelessly. Assuming may close the mind from appreciating wonderful differences that life presents. If America was more accepting, the world we live in today might be a very different place; there might be more peace and a greater sense of community. Samantha Hunt creates a story in which several characters bring out the meaning of the real American “dream”: that the key to a great country is not based on power, but the willingness to accept and appreciate the differences that form a country. Many considered Nikola Tesla an outsider. Indeed, he came from Serbia and had no ties to America. Yet, he was willing to accept and love a culture that shunned him. In doing this, he made America a better place.

For example, Tesla used his Alternating Current to power thousands of homes and companies. This invention should have made him very rich, had the patent not been stolen from him. Tesla was robbed of his ideas, his invention, and his work, but he still kept inventing. Tesla clearly showed that, even though life can be unfair, there is still a possibility to achieve greatness. Today, many people regard him as one of the greatest scientists who ever lived. However, back in his era he was considered strange. Many people believed he had come from the future or outer space and that the technology he created was otherworldly. Like many others living in that time, he was a foreigner, subject to the ethnocentrism that was at the core of American culture. Even though Tesla was ridiculed, he fought to achieve greatness, despite the odds. This kind of determination inspired many people, including me. I am inspired to think more about how I can persevere in the face of difficulty.
The title “The Invention of Everything Else” is difficult to decipher. However, I believe that the author chose it because Nikola Tesla was never a man who truly loved. During the story, Nikola Tesla tells a story about Robert and Katherine (friends of his), and how he was in “love” with Katherine, the wife of his best friend. Tesla chose not to act on his love for Katherine because he knew that love would disappoint him. In the last few chapters of the book, Tesla learns that his favorite pigeon, whom he refers to as “darling,” is dying. He then begins to feel the pain of loss and grieving, something he has never felt before. Love is the invention of everything else. You love because you care and you care because something or someone has meaning to you, and when you lose that thing or person, it hurts.
My favorite part of this book is when Tesla is working at the house of his friend, Robert. He is working on an invention that allows him to create pleasure in human beings through electricity. In this part of the book, he tries out his new invention on Katherine, who is unsure about whether it is safe. But when the electricity flows from the cotton tipped wires of Tesla’s invention, she changes her mind about the invention. This is my favorite part because Katherine and Robert were supporters of this great scientist, and understood that Tesla was a man of dreams.
This incredible tale taught me that living life to the fullest is something everyone should strive to do. I also learned not to assume carelessly. Assuming may close the mind from appreciating wonderful differences that life presents. If America was more accepting, the world we live in today might be a very different place; there might be more peace and a greater sense of community. Samantha Hunt creates a story in which several characters bring out the meaning of the real American “dream”: that the key to a great country is not based on power, but the willingness to accept and appreciate the differences that form a country. Many considered Nikola Tesla an outsider. Indeed, he came from Serbia and had no ties to America. Yet, he was willing to accept and love a culture that shunned him. In doing this, he made America a better place.
The “Invention of Everything Else” was an intriguing and thought provoking story. I thoroughly enjoyed. In this book, Samantha Hunt, the author creates an imaginary story based on the life of a brilliant 20th century scientist, Nikola Tesla. Tesla, creator of Alternating Current (AC), lived out his days in an NYC hotel. He describes his sickly childhood and memories of living in the Serbian town of Similjan. Louisa, a curious girl who worked at the hotel, befriends the eccentric scientist through their shared love of pigeons and their curiosity of the world of science. This is the story of their shared friendship and the life of a great scientist who changed the world with his dreams.

The title “The Invention of Everything Else” is difficult to decipher. However, I believe that the author chose it because Nikola Tesla was never a man who truly loved. During the story, Nikola Tesla tells a story about Robert and Katherine (friends of his), and how he was in “love” with Katherine, the wife of his best friend. Tesla chose not to act on his love for Katherine because he knew that love would disappoint him. In the last few chapters of the book, Tesla learns that his favorite pigeon, whom he refers to as “darling,” is dying. He then begins to feel the pain of loss and grieving, something he has never felt before. Love is the invention of everything else. You love because you care and you care because something or someone has meaning to you, and when you lose that thing or person, it hurts.
My favorite part of this book is when Tesla is working at the house of his friend, Robert. He is working on an invention that allows him to create pleasure in human beings through electricity. In this part of the book, he tries out his new invention on Katherine, who is unsure about whether it is safe. But when the electricity flows from the cotton tipped wires of Tesla’s invention, she changes her mind about the invention. This is my favorite part because Katherine and Robert were supporters of this great scientist, and understood that Tesla was a man of dreams.
This incredible tale taught me that living life to the fullest is something everyone should strive to do. I also learned not to assume carelessly. Assuming may close the mind from appreciating wonderful differences that life presents. If America was more accepting, the world we live in today might be a very different place; there might be more peace and a greater sense of community. Samantha Hunt creates a story in which several characters bring out the meaning of the real American “dream”: that the key to a great country is not based on power, but the willingness to accept and appreciate the differences that form a country. Many considered Nikola Tesla an outsider. Indeed, he came from Serbia and had no ties to America. Yet, he was willing to accept and love a culture that shunned him. In doing this, he made America a better place.
The “Invention of Everything Else” was an intriguing and thought provoking story. I thoroughly enjoyed. In this book, Samantha Hunt, the author creates an imaginary story based on the life of a brilliant 20th century scientist, Nikola Tesla. Tesla, creator of Alternating Current (AC), lived out his days in an NYC hotel. He describes his sickly childhood and memories of living in the Serbian town of Similjan. Louisa, a curious girl who worked at the hotel, befriends the eccentric scientist through their shared love of pigeons and their curiosity of the world of science. This is the story of their shared friendship and the life of a great scientist who changed the world with his dreams.
I liked this book because it had an interesting theme: The idea that life has endless possibilities and that one should live life to the fullest, never giving up. For example, Tesla used his Alternating Current to power thousands of homes and companies. This invention should have made him very rich, had the patent not been stolen from him. Tesla was robbed of his ideas, his invention, and his work, but he still kept inventing. Tesla clearly showed that, even though life can be unfair, there is still a possibility to achieve greatness. Today, many people regard him as one of the greatest scientists who ever lived. However, back in his era he was considered strange. Many people believed he had come from the future or outer space and that the technology he created was otherworldly. Like many others living in that time, he was a foreigner, subject to the ethnocentrism that was at the core of American culture. Even though Tesla was ridiculed, he fought to achieve greatness, despite the odds. This kind of determination inspired many people, including me.
