The story, “Sound of Thunder” is another story with a surprise ending. This story is interesting, because it is about future technology, and the past. A time-travelling machine has been the topic for a lot of stories; however, this story uses it to explain the dangers of technology, and the importance of an individual’s actions. The ending of the story was very unbelievable, because the death of only one little butterfly changed the future; it changed the president and the spelling of words in general. One thing I don’t get about this story is how Eckels can be so scared of the dinosaur, and run off the path, when he was told to walk back to the machine. This makes me wonder how dinosaurs really looked, and if I would really want to see them or not. I think I would be scared too if I ever saw a tyrannosaurus rex. Another thing I like about this story is that, when I read it, it’s almost as if I can see the dinosaurs in my head, because the author is very descriptive, and uses figurative language to make the reader understand the situation more. I would recommend this story to people who like stories about dinosaurs, and adventure.
