The story, “A Sound of Thunder," is my second favorite story I have read. The thing different from all other stories is that it contains science-fiction. Moreover, it is adventurous, which is what I liked the most. It is very creative and imaginative. The author's unique style of writing and the use of diction and figurative language really attract me to read this story. "A Sound of Thunder" talks about time travelers going back to the past to hunt a dinosaur, but a mistake (stepping on a butterfly) made by the person named Eckels changed the future. Through the story, the author wants to emphasize the dangers of technology and also to warn us to be aware of our actions. I cannot believe that such a small mistake can cause a huge effect in the future. It is quite scary that just killing a tiny butterfly could cause such a significant result. In the end, Travis, the Safari leader, shot him for what he had done. I felt sorry for that poor dude since he didn't mean to step on that insect. Eckels accidentally killed it when he was terrified by the T-rex. This teaches me to be very careful in what I am doing at any time, because who knows what would happen next?
