Sound of Thunder Imagery

Eckels glanced across the vast office at a mass and tangle, a snaking and humming of wires and steel boxes, at an aurora that flickered now orange, now silver, now blue. There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame.
It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest. Each lower leg was a piston, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior. Each thigh was a ton of meat, ivory, and steel mesh. And from the great breathing cage of the upper body those two delicate arms dangled out front, arms with hands which might pick up and examine men like toys, while the snake neck coiled. And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone, lifted easily upon the sky. Its mouth gaped, exposing a fence of teeth like daggers. Its eyes rolled, ostrich eggs, empty of all expression save hunger. It closed its mouth in a death grin. It ran, its pelvic bones crushing aside trees and bushes, its taloned feet clawing damp earth, leaving prints six inches deep wherever it settled its weight.

Embedded in the mud, glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly, very beautiful and very dead. 

 fresh death, the seed death, the green death -  he is putting two different things next to each other, juxtaposition.

A sound of thunder q&a

The penalty for disobeying was ten thousand dolors.

People said that if Deuthcher won they would want to live in 1492.

Travis said to shoot them into the eyes to blind them and then shoot them in their brains.

The men traveled in total sixty million two thousand and fifty-five years.

The anti-gravity path is a path which floats above the ground to keep them away from touching the grass or an insect. They have to stay on the path because if they kills little butterfly, or destroy a bush, they might change the history.

The machine and the men's clothes were sterilized so they won't bring bacterial from the future in the past and thus changing the whole cycle.

The men wear oxygen helmets because they don't want to inhale the air from the past and exhale their bacterias from the future.

The dinosaur is anyways going to die because a tree would've fell on it, so they marked it with red paint, so they can kill it later and get money from the people who wanted to see and hunt dinosaurs.

He pretends to shoot a pterodactyl, a huge, gray flying bat.

Eckels says that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is so tall, he could reach the sky and grab the moon. 

One of the men marked the dinosaur they want to shoot withred paint so they would be able to know wich one to shoot and not kill the wrong one.

Billings and Kramer sat on the path and threw up, after they killed the dinosaur.

Travis makes Eckels take the bullets they shot in the dinosaur out of it in order to let him go back in the future with them.

He noticed the sign changed and was written differently then what it was like when they left to go in the Time Safari.

On the bottom of his shoe, in the mud, there was a little green, gold and black butterfly.

Answer To The Questions

"The air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheek"
It explains to us how the weather was like and he was feeling.

"The room it's self was filled with pleasant furniture"
It tells how the room looked like.


The landlady was trying to look as nice as possible, "the moment she saw him, she gave him a warm, welcoming smile" so then she could get him in the house, and kill him without him realizing until it was too late, "The tea tasted fairly of bitter almonds".


I like the ending when it's stops, it leaves you think about it, but if the author could add just a little more to explain what happens until he goes to bed, so we can have a bit more of the story, because it stopped too quickly.

Answers to the questions

Foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future. The author of a mystery novel might use foreshadowing in the early chapter of his book to give readers an inkling of an impending murder.
"Smell of burned almonds ","they never left, they are still at the forth floor"

Inference is when the author wants to show you something like a squirrel eating a nut, but later on you will find out the nut is poisonous, foreshadowing its a sign of what will happen in the future  for example, they found blood on the road, this is foreshadowing that someone was killed.

Can almonds kill a person? They cannot only if you drink the substance inside them, because they contain a substance that is really poisonous to humans, because it interferes with the way our body produces and uses the energy generated in our body, making the cells unable to work properly because they don't get the energy they need to work properly.

My Paragraphs


  Was the sports Day good or bad ? Well it was a bit of both, it was amazing because it had a big variety of sports, but it was badly arranged, time wasted doing nothing, events overlapping, everyone was confused and didn't know where to go. But we can overlook all of that because doing sports is very healthy and relaxing. So overall, i am pretty happy with the Sports Day because i like moving and running.


Which pancake is better? Every Pancake is really good, but they are not better then the North American Pancakes. North American Pancakes are the best, because of the butter that you but in between them, and the taste of bacon the is on the frying pan, which makes it magnificent. If they are not good enough, just add the Maple syrup and then there is nothing better than that in this world. You cannot match the North American Pancake, not even with the European one.


You want to super cars and a funny show? Top Gear covers both of them and more!  Celebrities and super cars are the main topic in Top Gear. It has celebrities interviewed and made to race with a reasonably priced car, in "Stars and Reasonably Priced Cars", such as Rowan Atkinson and Mark Wahlberg. They also test super cars such as Lamborghini Aventador and Bugatti Veyron
and drive other super cars in the expeditions in Africa, North Pole, Bolivia and many more.
In conclusion, Top Gear is awesome and its definitely worth watching it.

The huge reptilian towered thirty feet above half of the trees, came crushing everything in its path. Metaphors are transferring a quality from one thing to another. In the Sound of Thunder the author uses sight imagery combined with metaphors, it creates a greater effect in the story, as if we would be right there and we could see the Tyrannosaur Rex ourselves. "Each lower leg was a piston, a thousand pounds of white bone, sunk in thick ropes of muscle, sheathed over in a gleam of pebbled skin like the mail of a terrible warrior." "It could reach up and grab the moon." The t-Rex's legs are described metaphorically as pistons, with white bone and thick ropes. Legs as pistons because the power that is inferred, legs as thousand pounds of white bones is inferring the size of the legs and legs with thick ropes of muscles inferring the strength and the look of the tendons in the leg sticking out. The t-Rex could grab the moon is inferring the size, how tall, the dinosaur is., these examples shows how the author uses imagery and metaphor to make the story more interesting and more fun to read.
