This short story to me was very interesting and has a lot of what it’s like in a book. The journey all begins when Eckels wanted to get a job and work for the TIME SAFARI, INC. TIME SAFARI, INC. is a really cool place because Eckels got to travel back in time and got to meet animals they did not just meet animals though…. They did a lot more.
As we all know that Eckels and Travis and 2 other hunters. Travel back in time and explore wildlife. Then I thought for a moment why would they travel back in time and look for animals and wildlife? This question will get answered in a moment. Alright back to the animals. When they were walking they spotted a dinosaur they were wanting to kill with guns. Well I know that sounds harsh but these people didn’t like animals. There were multiple dinosaurs but they had to find the one with a blob of red paint on it. So then they wouldn’t get the wrong one.
When they found the right dinosaur they immediately started to get scared soon after a while waiting there Eckels got really scared and accidentally broke a rule they were not supposed to do. The rule was to always stay in the middle of the track “road”. Eckels ran away near the bushes and hid. While he was “hiding” the other hunters were quietly approaching the dinosaur when the dinosaur saw them and the leader said “FIRE!!!!” and the guns went POW BANG and soon the dinosaur fell down and was very injured with rips and holes.
When they traveled back to their original time someone found a butterfly under Eckels shoe and started to act a bit scary and then the problem came he got out his gun and was aiming for Eckels. They both were really surprised and so darkness filled Eckels eyes…….. He was now gone.
This story was very cool and interesting. Some thoughts I have are that Eckels was a very innocent person and was somewhat very scared for a lot of events. But there are some very different things that i noticed. One is why would the man kill Eckels for having a dead butterfly under his shoe? That one part was just very confusing. Well anyways that was all of my thoughts in the short story we ready “A Sound of Thunder”.
